IR Balance (Pan) and Final Mix
These sections enables the mix between impulse responses 1 and 2 to be mixed relative to one
another. Modulation of the mix parameter is provided with the LFO (the current value of the mix is
shown below mod). The Flat Balance vs Raised Centre balance controls the shape of the IR1/IR2 mix
curve. Raised Centre provides some boost to the central mix when multiple IRs are loaded and Flat
Balance provides an unbiased gain cross-over curve.
The final mix parameters allow one final trim of gain to be made before mixing back with the dry
signal (the dry signal is delayed if a non-zero processing delay has been selected for the convolution
to keep audio in sync). The gain and mix can be locked using the padlock icon so that during a
program change the gain and mix do not change from the previous preset’s value.
IR Chaining
A chain option is provided in the final mix and signal flow areas which feeds the output of IR1 into
IR2 rather than processing them in parallel.
Mono/Stereo Output Mixing
The default behaviour of Reverberate is to process in stereo although it is possible to down-mix to
mono from stereo at three stages in the signal flow. Clicking the mono/stereo symbol on the signal
flow diagram (two interlinked circles for stereo, a single circle for mono) next to the IR1 or IR2 lines
mixes to mono before the pan stages of IR1 and IR2 respectively. Clicking the mono/stereo symbol
next to ‘Audio Out’ mixes to mono as the very final stage of processing.
Stereo Channel Invert
The Reverberate mixer provides the capability to swap the left and right channels. This can be useful
for creative purposes when additional space is desired. For example configuring IR1 and IR2 with the
same IR file where the second IR has a pre-delay of 20-100ms / 0.020-0.100s, is high plus low pass
filtered and has the L/R channels inverted creates additional space in the reverb space similar to that
achieved with true stereo impulse responses. This achieves a similar effect to the simulated true
stereo mode provided in the IR1 and IR2 parallel stereo modes but has greater flexibility as the full
gamut of controls are available for the IRs.
