126 Chapter 11 Convolution Reverb: Space Designer
The lower (flat) section of Space Designer contains the following global parameters:
 Filter parameters: Activate, adjust the resonance, and select the mode of Space
Designer’s resonant filter. See “Filter Parameters” for more information.
 Pre-Dly knob: Sets the reverb’s predelay time, or time between the original signal and
the first reflections from the reverb. See “Predelay” on page 130 for more information.
 IR Start knob: Shifts the point at which the impulse response will play back. See “IR
Start” on page 130 for more information.
 Spread knob: For synthesized impulse responses, this adjusts the perceived stereo
width (for stereo instances of Space Designer) or surround width (for surround
instances) to widen the perceived stereo or surround field and enhance the stereo or
surround effect. See “Spread Parameters” on page 137 for more information.
 Xover knob: Sets the crossover frequency below which synthesized IRs will be processed
by the Spread knob. See “Spread Parameters” on page 137 for more information.
Input Slider
The Input slider functions as either a stereo processing slider for stereo instances of
Space Designer, or as an LFE to Reverb slider in surround mode. The Input slider does
not appear in mono or mono-to-stereo instances of Space Designer.
Stereo Mode
For stereo instances of Space Designer, the Input slider determines how a stereo signal
is processed:
 Stereo setting (top of slider): The signal is processed on both channels, retaining the
stereo balance of the original signal.
 Mono setting (middle of slider): The signal is processed in mono.
 XStereo setting (bottom of slider): The signal is inverted, with processing for the right
channel occurring on the left, and vice versa.
 In-between positions: A mixture of stereo to mono crossfeed signals is produced.
∏ Tip: The three base positions of the Input slider are clickable key parameter
positions—if you click them, the slider will immediately jump to the clicked position.
