Tip: Shape will not have this effect if spread is at its minimum value. But even then, it can make a difference. In this case, it affects reverb tim- bre and density. Higher values of shape will be both darker and denser, although the effect is subtle.

Shelf

This parameter effects all filter types. It allows a certain amount of unfiltered audio to be combined with the filtered audio. This effectively lowers the effect of the filter. Another way of looking at it is that it lessens the normal filter slope of 12 dB per octave. Unlike the traditional biquad filter, the shelf is effective for all filter forms.

Shift Semi

This parameter determines the amount of positive or negative pitch shift for the shift. Expressed in semitones.

Signal Event Freq

Changes the rate of discreet signals from the signal generator. This only has an effect when the signal type is set to sweep tones or pink click.

Signal Frequency

Changes the frequency of the signal generator sine wave. This only has an effect when the signal type is set to sine wave.

Signal Type

Selects the type of signal to be created by the signal generator. The types of signal are:

Sine Wave — When this is selected the signal frequency parameter is used to control frequency.

Sweep Up — 20Hz to 20KHz sweep. When this is selected the signal rate parameter is used to control rate.

Sweep Down — 20Khz to 20Hz sweep. When this is selected the signal rate parameter is used to control rate.

Pink Click — Broadband impulse. When this is selected the signal rate parameter is used to control rate.

White Noise (correlated) — sends identical white noise to all outputs

White Noise (decorrelated) — sends decorrelated white noise to all out- puts.

Pink Noise (correlated) — sends identical pink noise to all outputs

Pink Noise (decorrelated) — sends decorrelated pink noise to all out- puts.

Smart Shift

This tells the shifter to use smart (content-based) pitch shift or blind shift. In most cases, ‘smart’ is the better choice.

Spread (Early Spread)

The spread parameter is closely tied to the Shape parameter. Spread is a win- dow of time during which a signal is injected into the reverb. Shape controls just how the signal is injected during this window.

Tail Width

This parameter is present in all stereo reverbs and rooms. The reverb tail (all
