Chamber reverb
The chamber reverb emulates the sound of echo chambers found in early recording
studios. This is characterised by a rapid build up of reflection density within a small to
medium sized space coupled with a relatively colourless and smooth decay.
Reflective surface materials and air absorption properties can be simulated by adjusting
the high and low frequency cut amount and high frequency damping. Low frequency
decay and cross-over parameters allow relative control over the low band reverb tail
length. This can be used to either simulate real room responses, which often have a
longer decay time at low frequencies, or alternatively can be useful to reduce low
frequency energy in a live environment where it may already be present due to the
natural reverberation of the venue.
If the global tap option is enabled the pre-delay parameter units will change from
milliseconds to musical note durations as they do with the current effect units.
5 Audition button This momentary-action button triggers a short
internally generated sound to aid reverb evaluation
(as a check).
6 output meter Two adjacent 11-LED columns — one each for left and
right — comprise the output meters.
7 HF Cut control
knob
High frequency cut control knob applies a 6dB/Oct
low pass filter to the input signal, in the range 200Hz
to 20kHz.
8 LF Cut control
knob
Low frequency cut control knob applies a 6dB/Oct
high pass filter to the input signal, in the range 10Hz
to 500Hz.
9 HF Damp control
knob
High frequency damping, progressively reduces the
high frequency content over time, in the range 1kHz
to 20kHz.
10 Tall Gain control
knob
Increases the level of the reverb tail, between off and
0dB.
11 Diffusion control
knob
Increases the density of both the early reflections and
reverb tail, between 0 and 100%.
12 Decay control
knob
Adjusts the decay time relative to the room size, from
minimum to maximum.
13 Size control knob Specifies the room size (also affects decay), from
small to large.
14 Predelay control
knob
Specifies the time before the reverb begins, between
0ms and 200ms.
