This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Reverb” category.
RoomWorks SE
Roomworks SE is a high-quality reverb plug-in.
The following parameters are available:
Scale Source –
Internal
If you choose the Internal option from the Scale Source
pop-up menu, you can use the pop-up menu next to it to
decide to which scale the source audio will be adapted.
The following options are available:
Chromatic: The audio will be pitched to the closest semi-
tone.
Major/Minor: The audio will be pitched to the major/mi-
nor scale specified in the pop-up menu to the right. This
will be reflected on the keyboard display.
Custom: The audio will be pitched to the notes that you
specify by clicking the desired keys on keyboard display.
To reset the keyboard, click on the orange line below the
display.
Scale Source –
External MIDI
Scale
Select this option if you want the audio to be shifted to a
scale of target pitches, using an external MIDI controller,
the Virtual Keyboard or a MIDI track.
Note that you have to assign the audio track as the out-
put of your MIDI track and that the Speed parameter has
to be set to a value other than Off.

Formant – Shift
(-60 to 60)
Changes the natural timbre, i. e. the characteristic fre-
quency components of the source audio.
Formant –
Optimize
(General, Male,
Female)
Allows you to specify the sound characteristics of the
sound sources. While General is the default setting,
Male is designed for low pitches and Female for high
pitches.
Formant –
Preservation
(On/Off)
When set to Off, formants are raised and lowered with
the pitch, provoking strange vocal effects. Higher pitch
correction values result in “Mickey Mouse” effects, lower
pitch correction values in “Monster” sounds.
When set to On, the formants are kept, maintaining the
character of the audio.
Master Tuning Detunes the output signal. The default setting is 440 Hz.
Parameter Description
Parameter Description
Pre-Delay Controls how much time passes before the reverb is ap-
plied. This allows you to simulate larger spaces by in-
creasing the time it takes for first reflections to reach the
listener.
Reverb Time Allows you to set the reverb time in seconds.
Diffusion Affects the character of the reverb tail. Higher values lead
to more diffusion and a smoother sound, while lower val
-
ues lead to a clearer sound.
Hi 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 percent
-
age causes high frequencies to decay quicker. Values
above 100
% cause high frequencies to decay more
slowly than the mid-range frequencies.
Lo 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 percent
-
age causes low frequencies to decay quicker. Values
above 100
% cause low frequencies to decay more
slowly than the mid-range frequencies.
Mix Determines the blend of dry (unprocessed) signal to wet
(processed) signal. When using RoomWorks SE inserted
in an FX channel, you will most likely want to set this to
100
% or use the wet only button.
