Category (Room)

This parameter lets you select a specific category from which a room response may be chosen. Changes here have a direct effect on the Pattern Selector parameter.

Chorus Depth (Concert Hall)

This parameter controls the amount of randomization of the chorus tap. Higher values are generally preferred in order to minimize reverb coloration. Pitch effects may result and are closely tied to the Reverb Chorus Rate parameter.

Chorus Rate (Concert Hall)

This parameter controls the rate at which the reverb chorus is run. Low values may cause a barely-noticeable undulation. Higher values will cause noticeable wobble in fixed-pitch instruments such as piano. It is closely tied to the Reverb Chorus Depth parameter.

Cross Fade Time

This is used to control the crossfade time of the splice. In general a short crossfade is desirable, but more complex material may need longer crossfade times.

Definition

Definition controls the density of some reverbs. Higher values result in lower density.

Delay Feedback Master

Controls all delays in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal feedback gain adjusted by this percentage.

Delay Level Master

Controls all delays in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal gain value adjusted by this percentage.

Delay Time (Echo Delay)

Delay time defines the time offset of a delay voice in milliseconds or in fractions of tempo (quarter note, eighth note), which is defined by the tap tempo or by midi tempo. It is used in many of the algorithms, not just the delays. In all cases, it does the same thing.

Delay Time Master

Controls all delays in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal delay time adjusted by this percentage.

Delay Wander

This parameter determines the amount of additional delay that the LFO process can add to a voice’s offset.

Diffusion

Input diffusion is the first part of processing for any signal entering a reverb or delay. It can be described as a smearing or softening of the signal and is typically used to lessen the impact of strong transients.

Bass Crossover (Bass XOver) (Room)

44Thus parameter is closely tied to the Early Bass Boost parameter. It repre- sents the frequency below which early bass boost has an effect.
