They are therefore ideal for percussive material. In case of vocals, a plate
reverb generates a smooth, warm effect. The slightly "metallic" resonance of a
plate can also be used to generate a vintage effect.
Parameter:
 EQ low/high: See room/hall
 Pre-delay: See room/hall
 Size: Size of the virtual reverb plate
 Buildup: Low values result in a fast reverb increase. If the value is greater, the
activation phase also increases.
 Decay: Reverberation time, see room/hall
 Damp freq/damping: See room/hall
 Width: See room/hall
 Modulation: Slightly alters the pitch by automatically varying the internal delay
times, comparable to a chorus effect. This can reduce possible resonance;
however, depending on the material (e.g. vocals or piano) it can have a
negative effect on pitch modulation.
Retro
As already indicated above, VariVerb Pro also features vintage-like algorithms
in addition to realistic synthesis, which is used by many well-known
manufacturers until today. The used processes already have the highest-
possible "dispersion" at the start of the reverb phase and generate a dense,
wide sound. This is anything but realistic, since discreet reflections are mainly
perceived as flat echoes. This sound is usually ideal for breakthrough power
and foreground effects. In the past, various manufacturers have attempted to
tackle very brief repeat loops and static patterns resulting from insufficient
memory. An interference occurs in this case that also adds charm to this
algorithm.
NonLin
These (non-linear) models are the only ones without a real counterpart in
VariVerb Pro. Non-linear reverb is based on a sequence of individual delay
blocks (so-called bursts). By weighting these blocks, you can create
envelopes. Two of these typical envelopes are "nonlin gate" and "nonlin
reverse". These may be set as follows:
 EQ low/high: See room/hall
 Pre-delay: See room/hall
 Size: The size of the individual "bursts" i.e. the length of the total reverb in the
sum.
 Diffusion: Reverb smoothing effect. The greater the value, the more echo
blocks are blurred and the more reverb occurs.
