The Included Effect Plug-ins
Reverb Plug-ins
Reverb –
Pre-Delay
Controls how much time passes before the reverb is applied. This
allows you to simulate larger spaces by increasing the time it takes for
first reflections to reach the listener.
Reverb – Reverb
Time
Allows you to set the reverb time in seconds.
Reverb – Size Alters the delay times of early reflections to simulate larger or smaller
spaces.
Reverb – Diffusion Affects the character of the reverb tail. Higher values lead to more
diffusion and a smoother sound, while lower values lead to a clearer
sound.
Reverb – Width Controls the width of the stereo image. 100 % gives you full stereo
reverb. At 0
%, the reverb is all in mono.
Reverb – Variation
button
Clicking this button generates a new version of the same reverb
program using altered reflection patterns. This is helpful when certain
sounds are causing odd ringing or undesirable results. Creating a
new variation often solves these issues. There are 1000 possible
variations.
Reverb – Hold
button
Clicking this button freezes the reverb buffer in an infinite loop (yellow
circle around button). You can create some interesting pad sounds
using this feature.
Damping – Lo Freq Determines the frequency below which low-frequency damping
occurs.
Damping – High
Freq
Determines the frequency above which high-frequency damping
occurs.
Damping – Low
Level
Affects the decay time of low frequencies. Normal room reverb
decays quicker in the high- and low-frequency range than in the mid-
range. Lowering the level percentage causes low frequencies to
decay quicker. Values above 100
% cause low frequencies to decay
more slowly than the mid-range frequencies.
Damping – High
Level
Affects the decay time of high frequencies. Normal room reverb
decays quicker in the high- and low-frequency range than in the mid-
range. Lowering the level percentage causes high frequencies to
decay quicker. Values above 100
% cause high frequencies to decay
more slowly than the mid-range frequencies.
Envelope –
Amount
Determines how much the envelope attack and release controls
affect the reverb itself. Lower values have a more subtle effect while
higher values lead to a more drastic sound.
Envelope – Attack The envelope settings in RoomWorks control how the reverb follows
the dynamics of the input signal in a fashion similar to a noise gate or
downward expander. Attack determines how long it takes for the
reverb to reach full volume after a signal peak (in milliseconds). This is
similar to a pre-delay but the reverb is ramping up instead of starting
all at once.
Envelope –
Release
Determines how long after a signal peak the reverb can be heard
before being cut off, similar to a gate’s release time.
Surround –
Distance
This control is only available for surround configurations. With this
parameter you can control where the virtual listening position is within
the room. Positive values position the listener closer to the front of the
room and negative values place the listener towards the rear of the
room.
