Programs vs. Presets
You can save your REVerence settings as VST plug-in presets or programs.
Both presets and programs use the file extension .vstpreset and appear in the same
category in the MediaBay (Plug-In Presets), but they are represented by different
icons:
Parameter Description
Program name In the upper left corner of the plug-in panel, either the name of the
loaded impulse response file or the name of the program is shown.
After loading an impulse response, its number of channels and the
length in seconds are displayed for a few seconds.
Browse button This button opens a browser window showing the available
programs. When you select a program in the browser, it is loaded into
the active program slot. To be able to filter the list of impulse
responses in the browser window, for example, by room type or the
number of channels, you can activate the Filters section (by clicking
the “Set Up Window Layout” button at the bottom left of the window).
Import button Click this button to load your own impulse response files from disk. The
files should have a maximum length of 10 seconds. Longer files are
automatically cut. For more information, see
“Working with Custom
Impulse Responses” on page 91.
Program slots
(1 to 36)
Use these slots to load all the impulse responses (programs) that you
want to work with in a session. The selected program slot is indicated
by a white frame. Used slots are shown in a different color. Double-
clicking an empty program slot opens a browser window, showing
the available programs. Clicking a used program slot recalls the
corresponding program and loads it into REVerence. When you move
the mouse over a used slot, the corresponding program name is
displayed below the active program name.
Smooth Parameter
Changes button
The “Smooth Parameter Changes” button is located between the
program slots and the Store/Erase buttons. If it is activated, a
crossfade is performed when switching programs.
Leave this button deactivated while looking for a suitable program or
an appropriate setting for an impulse response. Once you have set up
the program matrix to your liking, activate the button to avoid hearing
artifacts when switching between programs.
Store button Stores the active impulse response and its settings as a program.
Erase button Removes the selected program from the matrix.
Icon Description
A REVerence preset contains all settings and parameters for the plug-in,
that is, all the loaded impulse responses along with their parameter
settings and positions in the program matrix. Presets are loaded via the
Presets pop-up menu at the top of the plug-in panel.
A REVerence program only contains the settings related to a single
impulse response. Programs are loaded and managed via the program
matrix.
