A "Zoom" controller is located at the top left corner. You
can use it to evaluate the initial reverb phase. Greater
zoom steps represent the first milliseconds and for room
and hall models also show 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 next to the
"test" section.
If you hold the "Expert" setting, VariVerb presents all
reachable parameters of the model it is based on.
In "Expert" settings the distances for the room & hall
models of the first eight reflections are displayed. The set
"size" and pre-delay are already included. These are
combined left-right values for a better overview.
Individual parameters of a model are displayed as a "Tooltip" if you hover the mouse
pointer over a controller. You can deactivate these tips with the same button of the display,
globally if desired.
This state will be saved and is independent of the preset or the current audio project.
In the following we will concentrate more on the available algorithmic models and focus on
the individual parameters. Some apply to several models, in which case they are only
referred to once.
Room & Hall
The four available room models (room A/B & hall A/B) are quite complex. Unlike the simple
digital process, the reverberation of VariVerb Pro is not simply created by adding the
echoes. Such simple systems do not account for the fact that the echoic structure
becomes denser as the sustain time in real rooms increases. VariVerb Pro uses a network
of reflections that resemble natural processes.
You may find the most important settings have already been set without having to use
"Expert" mode. To make things complete, we will list all available parameters here.
