These parameters simulate the depth of the hall. Think of them as three
different microphones placing at various distances within the hall
(Position 1 is closest to the front, and Position 3 is farthest from the
front). When the range (volume) is higher for Position 1, the sound
appears closer to the front, whereas a higher setting for Position 3
appears farther from the front, suggesting a deeper (wetter) hall.
Output Bal Full <L to Full >R Controls the output of the hall reverb in the stereo field.

Parameter Range Description
Decay 0sec to 10.0sec Controls the amount of time it takes for the reverberation to decay away
to a very low level after the input signal stops. High values of decay
sound good on plate reverbs.
HF Damping 100Hz to 21.2kHz Increasing the value of this parameter will gradually filter out increasing
amounts of high frequency energy. Higher values yield an abrupt decay.
This parameter controls the cut off of a low pass filter in series with the
decay within the definition.
HF Bandwidth 100Hz to 21.2kHz This parameter acts as a low pass filter on the output of the plate reverbs,
controlling the amount of high frequencies present. The higher the
setting, the more high frequencies are allowed to pass through, offering a
brighter ringing sound. Some interesting effects can be created by using a
mod controller over a large range.
Diffusion 1 0 to 100 Smears the input signal to create a smoother sound. Lower values will
cause impulse sounds to appear as a series of discrete echoes, while
higher values tend to increase the smear, making the echoes less
apparent.
Diffusion 2 0 to 100 This Diffuser, similar to and in series with the previous one, offers
control over lower frequency ranges. Plate reverbs tend to sound metallic,
and the diffusers help to smear the signal, eliminating the metallic sound.
Definition 0 to 100 Controls the rate at which echo density increases with time. Higher
values can cause the echo density to build at a rate that exceeds the decay
rate. For the best results, try to select the highest value that works with
your sound source.
PreDelay 0 to 36ms Controls the amount of time it takes for the input signal to be presented to
the plate reverb. A value of 0 would offer no delay.

-99% to +99%
-99% to +99%
-99% to +99%
-99% to +99%
Control four early reflection levels. Setting these levels to lower values
will produce a wetter sound. These four reflection levels are close to the
input of the Definition.
Output Bal Full <L to Full >R Controls the left/right stereo balance of the plate reverb signal.
