User Manual
VARIATION
Clicking this button generates a new version of the same reverb program using altered
reflection patterns. This is helpful if some sounds are causing odd ringing or undesirable results.
Creating a new variation often solves these issues. There are 1000 possible variations.
HOLD
Activating this button freezes the reverb buffer in an infinite loop. You can create some
interesting pad sounds using this feature.
Damping
LOW FREQ
Determines the frequency below which low-frequency damping occurs.
HIGH FREQ
Determines the frequency above which high-frequency damping occurs.
LOW LEVEL
Affects the decay time of the low frequencies. Normal room reverb decays quicker in the high-
and low-frequency range than in the mid-range. Lowering the level percentage causes low
frequencies to decay quicker. Values above 100 % cause low frequencies to decay more slowly
than the mid-range frequencies.
HIGH LEVEL
Affects the decay time of the high frequencies. Normal room reverb decays quicker in the high-
and low-frequency range than in the mid-range. Lowering the level percentage causes high
frequencies to decay quicker. Values above 100 % cause high frequencies to decay more slowly
than the mid-range frequencies.
Envelope
AMOUNT
Determines how much the envelope attack and release controls affect the reverb itself. Lower
values have a more subtle effect while higher values lead to a more drastic sound.
ATTACK
The envelope settings in RoomWorks control how the reverb follows the dynamics of the input
signal in a fashion similar to a noise gate or downward expander. Attack determines how long it
takes for the reverb to reach full volume after a signal peak (in milliseconds). This is similar to a
pre-delay, but the reverb is ramping up instead of starting all at once.
RELEASE
Determines how long after a signal peak the reverb can be heard before being cut off, similar to
a release time of a gate.
OUTPUT
MIX
Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the wet signal. If RoomWorks is used as an
insert effect for an FX channel, you most likely want to set this to 100% or use the [Wet only]
button.
WET ONLY
This button deactivates the [Mix] parameter, setting the effect to 100% wet or affected
signal.
