Reverb Machines: Room
A versatile room algorithm that creates environments ranging from well-tuned studio ambience to larger night club
acoustics. The Tone knob, Diffusion and Low End parameters adjust the damping and scattering effects of room materials,
furniture, and people.
PARAMETERS:
STUDIO
Low End: Affects the low frequency content and decay profile. As you turn it up, more low
frequencies reverberate creating the impression of longer decay times and a
room that is sparsely furnished.
Size: Choose Studio for a well-tuned intimate studio environment, or Club for a larger,
livelier Night Club experience. The early reflections and reverb decay profile
change accordingly.
Diffusion: Softens the early reflections to create a thicker, more diffused reverb at the
attack portion of the reverb. Sometimes this can be more easily ‘felt’ than heard
depending on the input and specific settings.
CLUB
TIPS & TRICKS:
For realistic acoustic spaces, Pre-Delay can be kept at minimum, with Decay values in the 500mS to 2
second range. However, the Room algorithm is designed to be just as adept at long decay times. For great
atmospheric reverbs, try Pre-Delay at noon, Decay at 12 seconds or more, and Mod at 1:00. Mix to taste.
The Mod control randomly modulates the reverb’s delay lengths for the first half of the knob travel for subtle
natural movement, and then adds modulation to the input of the reverb tank for the 2nd half of the knob travel
for a more overt yet tasteful modulation experience.
