reverb simulates a small space with high echo density. Hall reverb mimics the
typical reverb of large concert halls.
Since natural spaces never sound "static" because air molecules are
constantly moving and due to the complexity of reflection processes, both
algorithms include a modulation parameter which varies the delay time of
individual echoes and thereby affects the liveliness of the reverb impression
depending on strength.
Parameters
 Decay: Reverberation length
 Damp: Damping of highs, simulates absorbtion via air, wall materials, and
objects
 Mod: Modulation strength.
Lo-fi
This algorithm gives the sound a little bit of "grit", or a certain measure of
signal destruction depending on its setting. An ideal partner for creative sound
design. The simulation of early digital synthesizes or samplers is equally
possible since their AD/DA converters were anything but "true" in the character
of their sound. The sample rate from the output of the lo-fi effect can be
continuously reduced and a generous measure of "aliasing" distortion can be
produced alongside the unavoidable loss of highs which results from "down
sampling". Bit resolution is clearly changeable, too.
Parameters
 Rate: Sample rate
 Crush: Number of bits
 Low-pass: Low-pass filter at the output to smooth out induced noise
Distortion
This overdrive effect works similarly to common guitarist effect pedals.
Everything is possible, from light, bluesy signal saturation to hard "metal shred
boards". Here a dual-band EQ works on the in and output signals and
therefore provides a rich palette of sounds.
Parameters
 Drive: Controls the internal level and thereby the overdrive
 Low: Bass portion.
 High:High portion.
