Late-Field Start This parameter defines when the late-field reverb tail begins (the delay be-
tween the dry signal and the onset of the LF) in relation to the dry signal.
Amplitude &
Slope
This bat controls two late-field parameters. Dragging the bat vertically con-
trols the maximum amplitude of the LF reverb energy. Dragging it horizontally
controls the LF slope (fade-in) time.
Decay Time This control effects the length of the reverb tail. Drag the bat to the left for a
short decay, or to the right for a long decay.
Diffusion This slider effects how quickly the late-field reverberations become more
dense. The higher the Diffusion value, the more rapidly a dense reverb tail
evolves.
ER Relative
Timing
To highlight the relative timing relationship between the early reflections and
late-field reverberation components, the shape and timing of the early reflec-
tions is represented as an outline in the Reverberation panel. The shape of this
outline is modified by parameters in the Reflections panel, not the Reverbera-
tion panel.
Positioning Panel
DreamVerb has the ability to separately position the direct path, early reflec-
tions, and late-field reverberation. The Positioning panel (Figure 102 on
page 277) provides panning controls for each of these reverb components. In
addition, a proprietary Distance control adjusts perceived source distance.
These controls allow realistic synthesis of acoustic spaces—for instance listen-
ing at the entrance of an alley way, where all response components arrive
from the same direction, or listening in the same alley next to the source,
where the early reflections and reverberation surround the listener.
Note: When DreamVerb is used in a mono-in/mono-out configuration, all
Positioning controls except Distance are unavailable for adjustment.
