For general AUX routing, there is a
separate category featuring all models
available in a "default" setting. This
section can be used to design reverb
(if you want to start from scratch). The
mixing ratio is preset to 100%.
The controller for the mix ratio is
located on the right of the main
interface (direct signal and reverb
portion).
To the left, the "test" section and a "mute" button are provided.
You can use these to temporarily switch off the input signal
during longer reverb decay periods, i.e. if you want to judge
the resonating reverb precisely.
On the other hand, a muted input can be useful for more
complex room design using the test samples: these allow
acoustic evaluation and fine tuning of the reverb effect using
three samples: stick (sidestick), snap (finger snap), and
vocal (short vocal sample).
A "Zoom" controller is located at the top left corner. You
can use it to evaluate the initial reverb phase. Larger zoom
steps represent the first milliseconds, and for room and hall
models, these also indicate the most important initial
reflections.
The controllers for the actual reverb parameters are located
below the display. Only the most important ones are
accessible first, such as room size and reverb sustain.
You can perform more drastic manipulation by clicking the "Expert" button
above the preset list.
If you hold the "Expert" setting, VariVerb Pro presents all
accessible parameters for the model it is based on.
