Reverb
This effect involves a completely algorithm-based reverb plug-in. Selectable algorithms
provide a dense and transparent reverb for any kind of signal. Processing is in "true
stereo", i.e. the selected algorithm refers to the original localization of instruments in a
stereo signal for calculating the reverb so that the original image is not handicapped. The
algorithms are also set up for naturalness and transparency. A signal treated with this
reverb in careful dosages will maintain its assertiveness in the overall context, without being
perceived too conspicuously as an effect. This all takes place with an notably lower CPU
load.
Reverb parameters
• Input/output: In this case, the input level is positioned into the plug-in or its output level.
Metering shows the precise level ratios.
Note: Input/output is available for all preset essentialFX plug-ins. The conditions are always
identical with those described here.
• Mode: Select the desired algorithm here. The following options are available:
- Plate: Simulates a reverb plate. Very dense reflection pattern, penetrating but musically
open 'metallic' appeal. Very good for drums and vintage special effects.
- Room: Small room reverb. Mid to high diffusion of the signal, low to mid reverberation
time. Well suited for adding a 'dry' natural sound to instrumental, spoken, or vocal
recordings.
- Hall: Mid to large hall. Low to mid diffusion, later responsiveness as a room. Ideal for
simulation as concert spaces and for large soundscapes.
• Size: The size of the room being simulated or of the reverb plate. This setting has a
direct effect on the distance of the reflection and indirectly on the resonance behavior:
smaller rooms/reverb plates possess a larger inclination for natural resonance, and larger
plates exhibit less of this effect.
• Time: Length of reverberation time (in seconds). This value refers to the RT60 time, i.e.
how long the reverberation requires for the level to fall 60 dB.
• Damping: Real rooms and reverb plates dampen certain frequencies according to their
construction. This is most often audible in upper frequencies. This parameter allows
upper frequencies to be specified at which the reverberation will be severely dampened.
