Reverb Sliders
The following is a list of sliders available for each selected reverb. Slide left to decrease the reverb time
and slide right to increase the reverb time.
Pre Delay (All) — When listening to a live performance, direct sounds are reached rst, followed by
reverberation caused by room reections. The pre delay is the amount of time between when the direct
sounds arrive and when the reections arrive. The range is 0 ms to 300 ms.
The speed of sound is approximately 340 meters per second (1100 feet per second). This means that

for sound to travel one foot.
Damping (All) — Damping increases or decreases the decay time of the higher frequencies relative
to the overall decay time. That is, the amount of sound reections that make up the reverb. Lower values

Decay (All) — This represents the decay time of the reverb. The range will vary depending on the
reverb chosen.
Rollo (All except Gated Reverb) — This provides a 24 dB/octave low-pass lter at the output of the
reverb. This allows the level of the audio range to be rolled o above the frequency set by this slider.
The range is 500 Hz to 20 kHz.
Release (Gated Reverb) — Release is the amount of time it takes for attenuation to happen.
The range is 50 ms to 3000 ms.
