middle, Stereo is the normal stereo image width 
and Wide covers the outside of the stereo image.
The RevTypes: Fast Wd and Alive Wd only have 
one width (extremely wide).
Lo Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 200 Hz
Adjustable filter that allows you to remove low 
frequencies from the Reverb. The Lo Cut fre-
quency can be perceived as a Threshold fre-
quency. The cut will be performed according to 
the Lo Damp parameter.
Lo Damp
Range: -18dB to 0dB
Sets the amount of cut in dBs. (See Lo Cut de-
scription above).
H
i Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Rolls off the top end of the signal as it enters the 
Reverb. Used in conjunction with Hi Soften and 
Hi Decay to “darken” a room.
Hi Soften
Range: -50 to +50
Hi Soften is a special filter used to “soften” the 
high frequencies of Reverb. This is not a simple 
Hi Cut filter but a complex set of filters working 
together to remove those frequencies that make 
a Reverb sound “brittle” or harsh.
Hi Soften is scaled/linked to the Hi Cut and Hi 
Decay.
Rev Balance
Range: -100dB R, center, -100dB L
The left/right balance of the Reverb. Allows you 
to offset the diffuse field from the normal center 
position.
Diffuse
Range: -50 to +50
This parameter gives you more or less diffusion 
than the algorithm designer intended for the giv-
en Decay time. For optimum performance the 
diffusion is automatically adjusted behind the 
scenes whenever you change Decay times. This 
parameter gives you the added control to vary 
the diffusion around this automatic setting.
Decay/Crossover
Lo Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.5
Multiplier for the frequencies below the Lo Xover 
frequency. Example: If the Main Decay parame-
ter is set to 2.0 sec and the Lo Decay parameter 
is set to 1.5, frequencies below the Lo Xover will 
decay for 3.0 sec.
Conversely if this parameter is set to 0.5 the De-
cay time below the Lo Xover point will be only 1 
sec.
Lo Xover
Range: 20 Hz to 500 Hz
Sets the frequency at which the transition from 
the low to the low-mid frequencies takes place.
Lo Mid Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.5
The Ratio control multiplier for the low-mid fre-
quencies.
Mid Xover
Range: 200 Hz to 2 kHz
Sets the frequency at which the transition from 
the low-mid to the mid frequencies takes place.
Hi Mid Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.5
The Ratio control multiplier for the mid frequen-
cies. This parameter is normally set to 1.0 as it is 
the main parameter adjusted by the main Decay 
parameter. This mid-range decay control would 
normally be omitted, however, TC Engineers felt 
you could use this parameter as a fine adjust-
ment tool to “tweak” a preset to sound just right 
without having to adjust the master Decay pa-
rameter.
Hi Xover
Range: 500 Hz to 20 kHz
Sets the frequency at which the transition from 
the mid frequencies to the high frequencies 
takes place.
