ReVibe Early Reflection Section
Different physical environments have different
early reflection signatures that our ears and
brain use to pinpoint location information in
physical space. These reflections influence our
perception of the size of a space and where an
audio source sits within it.
Changing early reflection characteristics
changes the perceived location of the reflecting
surfaces surrounding the audio source. In gen-
eral, the reverb tail continues after early reflec-
tions dissipate.
ReVibe room presets use multiple delay taps at
different levels, different times, and in different
positions in the multichannel environment
(through 360° panning) to create extremely real-
istic sounding environments.
The Early Reflect section has controls for adjust-
ing the various early reflection elements, in-
cluding level, spread, and pre-delay.
Level Control
Level controls the output level of the early re-
flections. Setting the Level slider to –INF (mi-
nus infinity) eliminates the early reflections
from the reverb effect. The range of this control
is from –INF to 6.0 dB.
Spread Control
Spread globally adjusts the delay characteristics
of the early reflections, moving the individual
delay taps closer together or farther apart. Use
Spread to vary the size and character of an early
reflection preset. The range of this control is
from –100% to 100%.
At 0%, the early reflections are set to their opti-
mum value for the room preset. Typical spread
values range between –25% and 25%.
Pre-Delay Control
The Pre-Delay control in the Early Reflect sec-
tion determines the amount of time that elapses
between the onset of the dry signal and the first
early reflection delay tap. Some Room Types,
such as those that produce slapback effects, have
additional built-in pre-delay. The range of this
control is from –300.0 ms to 300.0 ms.
Negative Pre-Delay times imply that some early
reflection delay taps should sound before the
original dry signal. Since this is not possible,
any of the delay taps that would sound before
the dry signal are not used and do not sound.

Early reflection section
Setting Spread to 100% produces very
widely spaced early reflections that may
sound unnatural. At –100% the early reflec-
tions have no spread at all, and are heard as
a single reflection.
