PCM Effects and Parameters

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.

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.

Cathedral

The Cathedral Effect uses a reverberation algorithm which emphasizes

rich, smooth reverberant decay in large spaces. As its name indicates,

it works well for simulating a space with a long reverberation time

relative to its size, such as a cathedral.
