there may be one or more reflection delays for each input channel. Some of the delays may mix their outputs to the same channel (left to left) and some may go cross-channel (left to right).

Reflection Gain (Level)

Each Reflection Delay voice also has a gain value. This gain is controlled by the Reflection Gain parameter.

Resonance

This parameter determines at which frequency the delay voice resonates.

Resonance Detune Master

Controls detuning of all voices in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal detune. adjusted by this percentage. Includes a built-in ducker that attenu- ates the delay output whenever signal is present at the input. This can be used to keep the original signal from being muddied up by delay repeats.

Resonance Filter Master

Controls all voices in the algorithm. Each voice’s resonator has its nominal cutoff frequency adjusted by this percentage.

Resonance Master

Controls all voices in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal resonance adjusted by this percentage.

Resonance Tuning Master

Affects all voices in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal resonance adjusted by this value. In the musical world, the tuning reference is A=440. This means that the note A (above middle C) is equivalent to 440 Hz. Changing the master tuning causes all notes to be sharp or flat.

Resonator Detune

This parameter acts as an adjustment to the specified frequency for the voice’s resonator. The calculation of cents yields a ratio which is used to modify the specified frequency of the voice. This parameter is modified by the Master Detune parameter.

Resonator Filter Freq

This parameter controls a lowpass filter inside the resonator.

Resonator Frequency

This parameter determines at which frequency the delay voice resonates. The action of this parameter is determined by the state of the Resonance Mode parameter. When a frequency is calculated for this parameter, it must then be affected by the value of the Master Tuning parameter.

Reverb PreDelay (Predelay)

This is a delay that’s added to the diffused signal before it enters the main part of the reverb. For all intents, it may be considered as delay that is added to the reverberated signal. It is used to temporally separate the reverb from the dry signal.
