Chapter 11 Convolution Reverb: Space Designer 127
Surround Mode
For surround instances of Space Designer, the Input slider determines how much of the
LFE signal is mixed with the surround channels feeding the reverb.
At its lowest setting, the slider acts as an LFE bypass, with all the LFE signal passed
through the reverb unprocessed.
Latency Compensation
The complex calculations made by Space Designer take time. This time results in a
processing latency, or delay, between the direct (input) signal, and the processed
(output) signal. The Latency Compensation button determines how Space Designer
delays the direct signal in relation to the processed signal.
Space Designer’s processing latency is 128 samples at 44.1 kHz, and doubles at each
lower sample rate division. For example, if you set Space Designer’s Sample Rate slider
to “/2,” the processing latency increases to 256 samples. The processing latency does
not increase in surround mode or with higher sample rates than 44.1 kHz.
When activated, this parameter delays the direct signal (in the Output section) to
match the processing delay of the effect signal. This is not related to latency
compensation in the host application—this compensation occurs within Space
Designer and applies only to Space Designer.
