Chapter 3 2016 Stereo Room 3.1 About Reverb Creating a reverb algorithm is part art and part science. The science bit is all about the naturalness of the sound – whether the simulation convincingly conveys the feel of a real room. Some digital reverbs don’t have the horsepower to run a sufficiently complex program to achieve naturalness. Without enough processing power, the effect will suffer from low echo density or unnatural density growth with time or comb filter effects, etc.
• Reverb Control Block • EQ Block • Preset Bar 3.3 3.3.1 Level Displays and Digital Clip LED Level Display The Level Displays comprise one or two stacks (depending on input channels) of green, yellow, and red LEDs that indicate the input level to the reverb. The input to the displays is driven from the output of the INPUT control. 3.3.2 Digital Clip LED The Digital Clip LED illuminates when the internal reverb ”matrix” is overdriven into digital clipping.
3.5 3.5.1 Reverb Control Block Predelay Predelay introduces a delay before the reverb effect. If you want to control the delay change more accurately, hold down the command key before you click and drag this knob. 3.5.2 Decay (RT60) Decay (RT60) sets the time (in seconds) for a full amplitude signal to decay by 60 dB. In other words, this control sets the reverb time. 3.5.3 Position Position is used to move your ”listening position” from the front of the ”room” to the rear.
