VSS™ 4
Introduction
VSS™ 4 is a True Stereo Reverb – or two Source
Input to Stereo Output reverb – and radically de-
parts from being an additive sustain diffuse field
added to a two channel signal. Based on source
related Reflections from multiple angles, the pre-
cision of VSS™ 4 is comparable to real-world
mono or stereo sources positioned in an authen-
tic or virtual space. We dare say: “Stereo room
simulation finally has come off age.”
The two Input sources can be used for either a
final stereo-mix, or for positioning of two indi-
vidual mono-sources in the same virtual space.
Because VSS™ 4 is a true stereo rendering of a
real room, you’ll experience that even with only
one source Input, you get a stereo output in-
cluding the early reflections and stereo diffused
fields.
Used for mastering purposes, VSS™ 4 maintains
full bit transparency when bypassed and with the
two Sources placed in ±30 degrees position.
The VSS™ 4 algorithm occupies:
– @ Normal Sample Rate: 1/4 DSP Resource
– @ Double Sample Rate: 2/4 DSP Resource
The inputs and outputs of this algorithm are dis-
tributed as follows:

Master Reverb
For the late part – or the diffused field – of the
reverberation, following master parameters are
available. For further tweaking of the diffused
field, additional parameters are available at the
Color page.
Master Decay
Range: 0.1 to 20 sec
Adjusts the Master Reverb Decay time. Decay
time can via the Color page be further adjusted
using the multipliers for the following bands: Lo,
LoMid, HiMid and Hi.
Pre Delay
Range: 0 to 300 ms
Pre Delay on the complete wet signal including
Early Reflections.
Hi Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Attenuates the high-end frequencies of the Re-
verb (Diffuse Field).
Reverb Size
Range: 0 to 15
Adjusts the overall perceived size of the Diffuse
Field part of the algorithm. Generally you would
attempt to define the perceived room size by al-
tering the Decay time. However, with the Size pa-
rameter you can achieve a similar perceived al-
teration of the room size while keeping the Decay
time. The default value is meant as the size that
the specific Location Type is intended to have.
