Reverb/Echo
The reverb effect device offers newly developed and very realistic reverb
algorithms to add more room depth to your recording.
Reverb is probably the most important but also the most difficult effect to
generate.
Parameters
The reverb effect has the following parameters:
Size: defines the size of the room (or the system for the plate and spring). The
larger a room, the longer the sound travels between walls or objects. With
some low "size" settings you can also reduce the distance between the
individual reflections. This allows resonance to develop (accentuated
frequency ranges), which can sound oppressive if the reverb sustain is too
long.
Time: With this knob you can adjust the echo time and determine how much
of it will be absorbed and, simultaneously, the reverb's decay.
Color: You may influence the sound characteristics of the effect within certain
limits. The effect of this controller depends on the used preset. In rooms,
"Color" controls the dampening of the highs in the reverb (from dark to bright)
as well as pre-filtering of the signal. With plate and spring presets, this fader
determines the dampening of the basses as well.
Mix: This controller sets the mix ratio between the original and the edited
signal. For rooms, you can therefore move a signal further into the room by
increasing the effect share. The last four presets are intended for use in an
AUX channel of the mixer and are set to 100%.
Presets
The presets represent the basic settings for the various room algorithms,
which can still be varied along with the other parameters. Hence, they are
more than just simply parameter sets.
