The density envelope offers the following parameters:
 Init Level: Sets the initial density (the average number of reflections in a given period
of time) of the reverb. Lowering the density levels will result in audible reflections
patterns and discreet echoes.
 Ramp Time: Adjusts the length of time elapsed between the Initial and End
Density levels.
 End Level: Sets the density of the reverb tail. If you select an End Level value that is
too low, the reverb tail will sound grainy. You may also find that the stereo spectrum
is affected by lower values.
 Reflection Shape: Determines the steepness (shape) of the early reflection clusters as
they bounce off the walls, ceiling, and furnishings of the virtual space. Small values
result in clusters with a sharp contour, and large values result in an exponential
slope and a smoother sound. This is handy when recreating rooms constructed of
different materials. Reflection Shape, in conjunction with suitable settings for the
envelopes, density, and early reflection will assist you in creating rooms of almost
any shape and material.
Spread Parameters
The Spread and Xover knobs adjust the perceived stereo or surround width of a
synthesized impulse response. While the Spread and Xover knobs are placed among
the global parameters, they only function in Synthesized IR mode.
Note: As these parameters adjust stereo or surround processing, they have no impact
when using the Space Designer as a mono plug-in.
