[. . . ] Envelope Threshold ­ Set the trigger threshold of the envelope, from -36 to 0 dB. Envelope Attack Time ­ Sets the attack time of the envelope, from 1 to 2000 msec. Envelope Hold Time ­ Sets the hold time of the envelope, from 1 to 2000 msec. Envelope Release Time ­ Sets the release time of the envelope, from 1 to 2000 msec. Dry Delay -- Sets the delay of the dry signal, ranging from 0 to 500 milliseconds. By delaying the dry signal, the wet reverberation can precede the dry signal. One use of this parameter is to create a simulated reverse reverb effect, where the reverb builds up and then ends with the dry sound. Wet Delay -- Sets the delay of the wet output, ranging from 0 to 500 milliseconds. Wet Delay is used to achieve an additional echo effect in the reverberation by delaying the reverberation relative to the dry sound. Wet Delays larger than 100 msec can be used to simulate large spaces such as stadiums and canyons. The Wet Delay will be inaudible unless the Wet/Dry Mix is set to something greater than 0%, so that both the wet and dry outputs are audible. Wet/Dry Mix -- Sets the amount of wet (processed) sound and dry (unprocessed) sound that is mixed together to create the output. 100% is all wet, 0% is all dry, and 50% is an equal mix of wet and dry sound. Effectively, the Wet/Dry parameter sets the perceived distance of the input sound: 100% sounds very distant, and 0% sounds very near. Late/Early Mix ­ Sets the amount of late and early reverberation that is mixed together to create the wet reverb signal. The Late/Early Mix is used to set the definition of the early portion of the reverb response by mixing in early reflection with the late reverb. MasterVerb early reflection type is set to Bypass, then the early signal is the dry signal. Typically, if the early reflection type is set to Bypass, you will want to set the Late/Early mix to 100% (all late) and then use the Wet/Dry mix to mix in dry signal. Diffusion -- Sets the extent to which individual echoes propagating in the reverb are spread in time. Low values of diffusion produce reverberation that will have audibly discrete early echoes, almost granular sounding, whereas high values of diffusion tend to produce a softer, fuzzier sounding response. The Diffusion parameter affects the diffusion of both the early reflections and the late reverberation algorithm. This gain is applied to the output of the wet/dry mix, therefore the gain does not affect the relative levels of wet and dry sound. 5. 6 Specifications Description Platforms Operating Systems Plug-in Formats Sampling Rates Precision I/O Formats Multi-algorithm reverberator with hall and plate algorithms, comprehensive early reflection patterns, and envelope control.
