Program Slots
Use these slots to load all the impulse responses that you want to work with in a session. The
selected program slot is indicated by a white frame. Used slots are shown in blue. A red program
slot indicates that the impulse response file is missing. Double-clicking an empty program slot
opens a browser window, showing the available programs. Clicking a used program slot recalls
the corresponding program and loads it into REVerence. If you move the mouse over a used slot,
the corresponding program name is displayed below the active program name.
Smooth Parameter Changes
This button is located between the program slots and the [Store]/[Erase] buttons. If it is
activated, a crossfade is performed when switching programs. Leave this button deactivated
while looking for a suitable program or an appropriate setting for an impulse response. Once you
have set up the program matrix to your liking, activate the button to avoid hearing artifacts
when switching between programs.
STORE
Stores the active impulse response and its settings as a program.
ERASE
Removes the selected program from the matrix.
Programs vs. Presets
You can save your REVerence settings as VST plug-in presets or programs. Both presets and programs
use the file extension .vstpreset and appear in the same category in the MediaBay, but they are
represented by different icons.
Preset
A REVerence preset contains all settings and parameters for the plug-in, that is, a link to all loaded
impulse responses along with their parameter settings and positions in the program matrix. Presets are
loaded via the presets pop-up menu at the top of the plug-in panel.

Manually imported impulse responses themselves are not part of the program or
preset. If you want to move your project to a different computer, you have to move
the impulse responses as well.
Program
A REVerence program only contains the settings related to a single impulse response. Programs are
loaded and managed via the program matrix.
