General Parameters
Thereareanumberofparametersthatarecommontoalloralmostallalgorithms,andwe’lldeal
withthosefirst.

preset.Therangeis0%wet(thesignalisunprocessed)through100%wet(nodrysignalis
present).Asettingof50%wetmeansthedryandprocessedsignalsareroughlyequalinlevel.In
somealgorithms,separateWet/DryparametersareprovidedfortheLeftandRightinput
channels.Insomecases,thisparameterscanhavenegativevalues,whichindicatethattheWet
signalispolarity‐inverted.
