User guide

The IR1-B/IR2-B controls do not automatically pair files to enable rapid auditioning of alternative
pairings for true stereo impulse responses.
• Off: No paring is attempted when changing IRs.
• Attempt Paring: When loading IRs an attempt will be made to pair the files based on file
name. If files are named using a scheme not recognised by the plug-in pairing algorithm, no
automated pairing will be evident.
Sample Rate Dependence: The sample rate of the host or audio device can affect the sound of a
convolution reverb. This setting allows the user to normalise the behaviour of reverberate in
different host sample rate environments.
• Host Rate Independent: The sample rate setting of the host will not affect the gain or filter
behaviour of Reverberate. IRs will be scaled relative to the host sample rate to ensure that
the output convolution amplitude is equal regardless of the host or soundcard sample rate
setting, and filters are always limited to a maximum frequency of 22 kHz.
• Host Rate Dependent: The sample rate of the host can affect the gain and filter settings of
Reverberate. IRs will be normalised with respect to their amplitude only. Running at
different host or soundcard sample rates will cause the convolution of IRs to result in
differing amplitudes. Filters are limited to the Nyquist of the host sample rate instead of
being fixed to 22 kHz. For example, running Reverberate in a host set to 88.2 kHz will result
in the convolved audio output being twice as loud as if set to 44.1 khz using the same IR. This
mode of operation is included for compatibility with Reverberate versions 1.240 and below.
• Downsample if >48kHz: In order to conserve CPU, Reverberate can be set to run at half the
host sample rate when the host is running at sample rates greater than 48 kHz. Audio is
downsampled to half rate, processed, and then upsampled to reduce CPU consumption. For
example, 48 kHz runs at 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz runs at 44.1 kHz, 96 kHz runs at 48 kHz, 192 kHz
runs at 96 kHz.
Dials Mode: Sets the way the dials react to dragging the mouse.
• Circular: Move the mouse in a circular manner to change value.
• Relative Circular: Similar to circular, but moves relative to the current position.
• Slider: Move the mouse up and down to change value. Holding SHIFT on the keyboard allows
for fine-grain control in this mode.
