simulated space.
PhaseMod
This controls the application of internal phase modulation to the reverb algorithm.
This adds a very slight variance to the reverb character over time, which enhances
realism and presence under many conditions.
Absorption
This controls the high frequency absorption effect within the reverb section. Higher
value settings produce greater overall HF roll-off and faster relative absorption over
time, synonymous with natural spaces containing a variety of absorption materials,
such as wall coverings, curtains or furnishings etc.
Diversity
This provides statistical front centre weighting to the Reverb Tail, which is often
required to anchor the reverb effect to the centre stage of stereo sound field mixes.
Centre weighting is greatest with the diversity control in its minimum position, where
the reverb image will seem narrowest. In the maximum position, no centre weighting
occurs, and the reverb image is therefore equally spread across the sound stage,
producing the greatest spatial diversity and the widest perceived image.
