cuts the lower frequencies to produce a more realistic
delay effect.
High Cut
41.18...22050 Hz
Determines the frequency where the higher frequency
parts are divided from the effect signal. A natural delay
doesn´t produce all frequencies equally, so the lowpass
cuts the higher frequencies to produce a more realistic
delay effect.
Mod Speed
0...20 Hz
The delay effect can be modulated in its delay time with
the integrated LFO. Speed determines the frequency of
this LFO.
Mod Depth
0.0...100%
Controls the modulation depth when delay time is
changed by means of the LFO. The depth ranges from no
delay to the amount set by the Delay parameter.
Reverb
The Reverb effect is probably the most widely used effect
in music production. It is used to add a realistic ambience
to clean and dry audio recorded in a studio. Very
complicated mathematical algorithms are needed to
simulate the complexity of a natural reverb. As a result,
good reverb processors are very expensive. The Lector’s
reverb effects don’t intend to simulate the perfect natural
room, rather they are an addition to the sound synthesis to
make it more 3 dimensional and expressive
Size
0...100 m
Determines the length of the longest room side in meters.
Lower settings simulate a normal room while higher
settings simulate a big hall or church.
Mix
0...100%
This parameter controls the volume ratio between the
original signal and the effect output. If set to 0%, the dry
signal is sent to the outputs only so that no effects can be
heard. Higher values will increase the effect signal. At
maximum setting, the pure effect signal will be heard.
Diffusion
0...100 %
Determines the consistency of different room materials.
Lower settings produce a cold strong reflection like a
metal or tile wall. Higher settings make a warm and thick
reverb as if the signal were reflected by an uneven
