The main window contains the most commonly used parameters and shows a Damping EQ overlay in the graphic display.
The details window contains advanced parameters and shows the built-in six band Output EQ. Click the Main or Details buttons at the upper right to switch between windows.
Attack knob and field: Set the attack phase of the reverb. Low values result in a high initial build-up of echo density, and high values cause a low initial build-up, which rises over time.
Size knob and field: Determine the dimensions of the room. Higher values correspond to a larger space.
Density knob and field: Adjust the density of the early and late reflections simultaneously, depending on room type.
Predelay field: Set the time between the start of the original signal and the arrival of the early reflections. A short predelay setting tends to push sounds away and longer predelay settings tend to bring sounds more to the forefront.
An extremely short predelay setting can color the sound and make it difficult to pinpoint the position of the signal source. A very long predelay setting can be perceived as an unnatural echo and can divorce the original signal from its early reflections, leaving an audible gap between them. An optimal predelay setting depends on the type of input signal—or more precisely, the envelope of the input signal. Percussive signals generally require shorter predelays than signals where the attack fades in gradually. A good working method is to use the longest possible Predelay value before you start to hear side effects, such as an audible echo. When you reach this point, reduce the Predelay setting slightly.
Predelay sync button: Turn on to restrict Predelay values to divisions synchronized with the host application tempo.
Decay knob and field: Set the decay time. The decay for certain frequencies is dependent on damping parameter values.
Decay sync button: Turn on to restrict Decay values to divisions synchronized with the host application tempo.
Freeze button: Turn on to recirculate the signal infinitely inside the chosen room type.
Distance knob and field: Set the perceived distance from the source by altering early and late energy.
Dry/Wet sliders and fields: Independently set the levels of the source and effect signals.
