Algorithms
The algorithms in VariVerb Pro specialized for a
specific type of "room creation" can be selected
from the model list in the display:
Room A: Small to medium-sized room,
dampening of the low frequencies, immediate
response, high density/diffusion
Room B: Room similar to A, less dampening,
slightly different reflection pattern, responding
a bit slower
Hall A: Larger hall, slower reverb buildup, less
density than the "rooms"
Hall B: Similar to reverb A but later response
of the reflection, slightly "colder" sound
Retro room: Classic room effect in the style
of well-known hardware reverb devices from
the 80s/90s. More artificial algorithms than
the previous methods. The vintage/retro
character takes center stage here, definitely
an "effect" sound.
Retro hall: Type of creation like retro room, but this is a classic hall effect with the
corresponding reflection pattern. Thick, cloud-like reverberation tail.
Plate A: Classic reverb plate, high diffusion, quite "dark" and "heavy", slight panorama
effects
Plate B: Reverb plate similar to A but with lighter character, faster response
NonLin Gate: Non-linear reverb, no sustain but abrupt end instead (classic "gated"
reverb effect)
NonLin Reverse: Reverb with reversed amplitude, sound impression played such as
"backwards"
Spring A: Model of a reverb spiral with two linked spring systems, typical echo effects
and excitation noise
Spring B: Similar to spring A; however, the vibration is "softer"
HQ room A/B & hall A/B: Extremely high quality and very complex simulation, which,
however, is associated with high processor strain. Nevertheless, or maybe because of it,
it's the definitive "main reverb" algorithm. Very plastic, tangible room impression with free
positioning of the sound source and the listening location. Here, the A and B models
differ slightly from one another like in the regular room and hall algorithms, that is, HQ
room A provides somewhat different dimensions and different composition than B. With
the HQ halls, hall B communicates with A later and sounds slightly more complex.
The individual models and available parameters are described further below.
