Predelay
This is used to add a small amount of delay to a signal before it enters the reverberator. This is
used to create a little separation between the wet and dry signals, in turn creating greater clarity
in the mix. This delay can also be toggled into Tempo Mode, causing the delay value to be
related to the tempo of the music.
Reflection Parameters
• Rfl Delay
Controls the delay time of a reflection. This can be toggled to Tempo Mode, in which case
its delay time will be related to tempo. Note that this parameter can have different rout-
ing configurations, indicated in its name. For example, if its name appears as “L Rfl Delay”
or “L-L Rfl Delay,” the signal comes in from the left and goes out the left. If the name
appears as “L-R Rfl Delay,” the signal comes in from the left and goes out the right.
• Rfl Gain
Controls the gain of a reflection. The sign of the gain coefficient by be optionally inverted.
Note that this parameter can have different routing configurations, indicated in its name.
For example, if its name appears as “L Rfl Gain” or “L-L Rfl Gain,” the signal comes in
from the left and goes out the left. If the name appears as “L-R Rfl Gain,” the signal
comes in from the left and goes out the right.
• Rfl Time Mast
This parameter is used to scale all reflection times at once.
Reverb Time
Reverb Time is the mid frequency reverb time (in the frequency above Bass XOV and below RT
Hicut). As such, it is one of the primary controls affecting the length of the reverb tail. It may be
considered to model the reflectivity of the walls in the reverberant space.
The parameter most closely associated with Reverb Time is Size. A large room size with a
small Reverb Time can easily have the same decay time as a small room with a large Reverb
Time. Even though the two solutions may result in the same reverb time, they will sound quite
different from one another. The value that is actually displayed is an approximate reverb time
based on both of those values. The actual time is also highly-dependent on other parameters as
well as the audio material.
