276MainStage Effects
• Dry Signal Delay handle and field: Determine the delay of the original signal. Set a
suitable level with the Dry slider in the Mix section.
• Predelay field: Set the time between the original signal and the start point of the reverb
attack phase—the very beginning of the first reflection.
• Hold (Sustain) handle and field: Drag horizontally to set the duration of the reverb
sustain phase. See Sustain parameter.
EnVerb sound parameters
• Density knob and field: Set the reverb density.
• Spread knob and field: Control the width of the reverb stereo image. At 0% the effect
generates a monaural reverb. At 200% the stereo base is artificially expanded.
• HighCut knob and field: Filter frequencies above the set value out of the reverb tail.
• Crossover knob and field: Set the frequency used to split the input signal into two
frequency bands for independent processing.
• Low Freq Level knob and field: Set the relative level of (reverb signal) frequencies below
the crossover frequency. In most cases you get better-sounding results when you set
negative values for this parameter.
• Dry/Wet sliders and fields: Determine the balance between the effect (wet) and direct
(dry) signals.
MainStage SilverVerb
SilverVerb provides a low frequency oscillator (LFO) that can modulate the reverberated
signal. It also includes a high cut and a low cut filter, allowing you to filter frequencies from
the reverb signal. High frequency transients in reverb signals can sound unpleasant, can
hamper speech intelligibility, or can mask the overtones of the original signal. Long reverb
tails with a lot of bass generally result in an indistinct mix.
SilverVerb parameters
• Predelay knob and field: Set the time between the original signal and the reverb signal.
• Reflectivity knob and field: Define how reflective the imaginary walls, ceiling, and floor
are.
• Size knob and field: Define the dimensions of the simulated room.
• Density/Time knob and field: Determine both the density and the duration of the reverb.
