User Manual

The Parameters

The seven plug-in reverbs contain hundreds of presets, covering just about every possible need.

But you can reﬁne and customize any preset by adjusting its parameters. Parameters are the

building blocks within each preset that determine how it sounds and behaves.

Each algorithm contains a set of parameters, and a variety of those parameters are combined to

create a preset.

Below are all the algorithm parameters you can edit in the PCM Native Plug-ins. Note that

sometimes parameter names are abbreviated when they appear onscreen, and they may have

preﬁxes indicating what channel they control (for example, Level may appear as RightInLvl).

Bandwidth

This parameter lets you set the bandwidth of a multimode ﬁlter. Bandwidth is speciﬁed in

octaves or fractions thereof. This parameter is available only when it has an effect (bandpass

and notch modes). In all other cases, it is hidden.

Bass Boost (Room)

This parameter is closely tied to the Bass Crossover parameter. It controls the boost (or cut) of

signal below that crossover.

Depending on the type of impulse response selected, the listener may become aware of an

excess or insufﬁciency of low frequency output. This parameter may be used to correct the

frequency response.



NOTE: Though the term “impulse” is used in this manual, these algorithms are NOT

convolution reverbs!

BassRT

This parameter controls bass reverb time. It is closely associated with the Bass Crossover and

Reverb Time parameters. BassRT is a multiple of Reverb Time that applies to signal below the

frequency described by Bass Crossover. If BassRT is less than 1.0, then the low frequency part of

the reverb tail will be shorter than the midrange part. If BassRT is greater than 1.0, then the low

frequency part of the tail is longer.
