Reverb

The reverb effect adds an echo to the original sound. There are 3 main types: Hall (room) Gate,
and Reverse.

Select from LARGE HALL, SMALL HALL, LARGE ROOM, SMALL ROOM in the
Type: field in the Reverb window. These create a feeling of space.

Type:

LARGE HALL

Predelay:50ms

Near:35

Time:51

LF damping: 10Hz

Diffuse:90

HF damping:13kHz

Predelay: This adjusts the delay time from the generation of the sound to the beginning of
the reverb.

Time: This adjusts the time it takes for the reverb to diminish and dissolve.

Diffuse: This sets the density of the reflected sound of the reverb. When the value is low,
the echo effect is emphasized. When it is high you get a smoother effect.

Near: This adjusts the distance from the sound source. The larger the value, the closer the
sound, the smaller the value, the more distant the sound becomes.

LF damping: This cuts the low frequency contained in the reverb.

HF damping: This cuts the high frequency contained in the reverb.

Select GATED 1 or GATED 2 in the Type: field of the Reverb window. This produces an
effect of a reverb sound that is forcedly cut. The decay characteristics differ between GATE 1 and
GATE 2. GATE 2 sounds more synthetic.
