TC SX-1 Reverb

The TC Reverb plugin is a very comprehensive and
high-quality reverb algorithm. It mainly consists of 4

functional blocks:

Level Mix Controls

,

Space Editor

,

Highcut

Filter

, and

Time Editor

.

The TC SX-1 Reverb has a very powerful reverb
algorithm core. Take a look at the block diagram
below to get a better idea of the signal flow:

Level Mix Controls

MIX

This parameter sets the balance between the

source signal and the processed signal. At

0%

, you

will only hear the source, while at

100%

you will only

hear the processed signal. When you are using the
reverb in a send/return configuration, you will usu-
ally want to check the

100%

box. This disables the

MIX

slider and locks the mix ratio at 100% wet.

L/R BALANCE

Use this control to set the left/right

balance of the Initial Reflections.

TAIL BALANCE

With this fader you can set the left/

right balance of the Reverb Tail.

STEREO WIDTH

Stereo Width determines how

“wide” the reverb should be:

0%

is the same as mono,

and

100%

is wide stereo.

Space Editor

The Space Editor defines the basic

structure of the room. In natural reverberation, the
early reflection happens within the first second of the
response. This is where the sound is very clearly
reflected by the walls and floors, and you can “feel”
which type of room you are in. The second stage is
the reverb process; here, the original sound is almost
‘lost’ within millions of chain reflections—so that
even two very different rooms often sound much
alike. The early reflection is actually the part of the
reverberation process that defines the room charac-
teristics.

SHAPE

Shape defines the basic room type and early

reflection pattern. By clicking on label beside the

Shape

label above the display you will get a pull-
