PCM Effects and Parameters

Lexicon

Concert Hall The Concert Hall Effect generates the appropriate early reflections for simulation of many different halls, and sends the reflections to all channels in addition to the direct signal in the main speaker. This Effect is not appropriate for highly percussive music.

Church

The Church Effect uses a reverberation algorithm, which differs from

 

ambience in that it does not simulate the reflections of specific halls, but

 

 

emphasizes rich, smooth reverberant decay in small and medium spaces. It

 

works well for simulating a space with a long reverberation time relative to

 

its size, such as a reverberant chamber, or a church.
