The Chamber Reverb simulates a reflective enclosure (perhaps made of wood or concrete) with a sound source at
one end and a microphone near the other. By varying the Size parameter from small to large, you can simulate
spaces as small as a shower stall and as large as an elevator shaft. This reverb is more reflective and has a more
defined echo characteristic than Halls or Rooms.

The Rooms in the DMV-PRO approximate the impulse responses of different types of “real” rooms. At large Size
settings, this algorithm simulates a large room such as a ballroom or a nightclub. At mid to small Size and Decay
settings, tighter spaces are realistically simulated, making it particularly useful for voiceovers. By simply varying one
or two parameters, you can quickly dial in just about any post-production, film, or overdub treatment.

The DMV-PRO’s Hall algorithms emulate actual concert halls. They are clean, open, and sit well in a mix. Echo
density starts out low and builds over time to a lush, balanced decay. This algorithm is excellent on mixed or
orchestral material and with long Decay settings. The Hall’s imaging is big, realistic, and allows for adding ambience
without cluttering the sound.

The Plate algorithm simulates a mechanical plate reverberator. Before the advent of digital reverbs, large metal plates
were suspended in frames to emulate reverberation. A plate reverb’s tone is distinctive; it’s dense and smooth, with
lots of highs and lows. These algorithms have a quick density build, which makes them the ideal choice for percussive
material. The thick density of plate reverbs allows them to be used at higher Size settings for those “really huge
space” sounds, without any clatter. They shouldn’t normally be used at low Size settings unless Decay is set very
short or unless you want an unnaturally dense, metallic type of special effect.
REVERB CLASSES:
Vocal
The Vocal Reverb class can be used to sweeten and enhance the intelligibility or breathy qualities of a sound,
particularly a vocal track. Bandwidth on longer decays is tailored to keep voices balanced in the tail. An
auxiliary gate is available to dynamically process the sound.
