The DreamVerb user interface (Figure 29 on page 95) is similarly organized.
Reflected energy equalization is controlled with the Resonance panel. The
pattern of early reflections (their relative timing and amplitudes) is determined
by the room shapes in the Shape panel (Figure 33 on page 98). Early reflec-
tion pre-delay, slope, timing, and amplitude are specified in the Reflections
panel (Figure 35 on page 103). The Materials panel (Figure 34 on page 100)
is used to select relative late-field decay rates as a function of frequency. The
late-field predelay, decay rate, room diffusion, slope, and level is specified in
the Reverberation panel (Figure 36 on page 104). Finally, the Positioning
panel (Figure 37 on page 106) contains controls for the placement of the
source, early reflections, and late-field reverberation.
Resonance (Equalization) Panel
The Resonance panel (Figure 31 on page 97) is a five-band equalizer that can
control the overall frequency response of the reverb, effecting its perceived
brilliance and warmth. By adjusting its Amplitude and band Edge controls,
the equalizer can be configured as shelving or parametric EQs, as well as hy-
brids between the two.
The EQ curve effects the signal feeding both the early reflections and the late
field reverberations, but not the direct path.
Bands 1 and 5 are configured as shelving bands. Bands 2, 3, and 4 also
have an Edge control for adjusting its bandwidth.
Generally speaking, a lot of high-frequency energy results in a brilliant rever-
beration, whereas a good amount of low-frequency content gives a warm re-
verberation.
Note: The values for the EQ parameters are displayed in the text fields at the
bottom of the Resonance panel. The values can also be entered directly using
the text entry method.
