Both GATE-VERB-1 and GATE-VERB-2 have forward and reverse gated reverb algorithms
which are not quite as dense or complex as those found in the GATE- VERB-3
algorithms. For an equal decay, GATE-VERB-1 is denser than GATE-VERB-2. The
decay times found in GATE-VERB-2 are longer. When used in a stack of effects
these gated sounds will fill in nicely. If you choose to use these effects alone,
they will be loose and moderately sparse. By varying the amount of diffusion you
directly affect the tightness (or looseness) of the sound. High diffusion equates
to a tighter effect.
GATE-VERB-3 algorithms are the most complex and dense. Always use GATE-VERB-3
when building "reverb only" programs.
The difference between normal reverb decays and decays when a gated program is
the normal decay gradually fades into nothing while the gated decay ends in an
abrupt manner. The most interesting gated program is the flat setting. Here there
is no decay but the equivalent of a short burst of sound.
