Attack Time Control
Attack Time adjusts the length of time between
the start of the reverb tail and its peak level. Set-
tings are Short, Medium, or Long.
Attack Shape Control
Attack Shape determines the contour of the at-
tack portion of the reverberation envelope. At
0%, there is no buildup contour, and the reverb
tail begins at its peak level. At a high Attack
Shape setting the reverb tail begins at a rela-
tively low initial level and ramps up to the peak
reverb level. The range of this control is from 0%
to 100%.
Rear Shape Control
Rear Shape adjusts the envelope of the reverb in
the rear channels to control the length of the at-
tack time. This gives more reverb presence and a
longer reverb bloom in the rear channels. The
range of this control is from 0% to 100%.
Size Control
The Size control adjusts the apparent size of the
reverberant space from small to large. Set the
Size control to approximate the size of the
acoustic space you want to simulate. Size values
are given in meters. The range of this control is
from 2.0 m to 60.0 m (though relative size will
change based on the current Room Type).
Larger settings of the Size parameter increase
both the Time and Spread parameters.
Spread Control
Spread controls the rate at which reverberation
builds up. Spread works in conjunction with the
Attack Shape control to determine the initial
contour and overall ambience of the reverbera-
tion envelope.
At low Spread settings there is a rapid onset of
reverb at the beginning of the reverberation en-
velope. Higher settings lengthen both the attack
and buildup of the initial reverb contour. The
range of this control is from 0% to 100%.
ReVibe Decay Color & EQ
Section Controls
The Decay Color and EQ section provides an ed-
itable graphic display of reverb decay color pa-
rameters and EQ parameters. Click the EQ but-
ton to toggle the display to show EQ parameters.
Click the Color button to toggle the display to
show Color parameters. To edit a parameter on
the graph, drag the appropriate dot.
When specifying reverb size, keep in mind
that the size of a reverberant space in meters
is approximately equal to its longest dimen-
sion. In general, halls range from 25 m to
50 m; large to medium rooms range from
15 m to 30 m; and small rooms range from
5 m to 20 m. Similarly, a Room Size setting
of 20m corresponds roughly to a 4x8 plate.
