10.4 Master Reverb
Reverb is the second of the send effects. As stated a send effect routes an
adjustable amount of audio in parallel to its main signal path and is sent to
a common audio effect. In this case reverb. This reverb affected audio is
then returned back to the main audio path. The effect itself is a common
function, managing several send / return signals. Any common reverb
parameter adjustments will therefore also affect other send signals. The
‘Send / Return’ conguration is a common application for reverb effects.
What is a reverb effect?
A reverb is a common production effect used to replicate the audio
behaviour of spaces. A normal space such as a small or large room will
reect audio differently. Think of how the sound reects in a large cathedral
compared to a small bathroom. The sound will bounce and reect between
the walls and other elements in the room. These reections arrive at the
human ear at different times and different levels. Reverb is an effect that
replicates this behaviour.
Reverb parameters mainly focuses on the space / room characteristics.

Option Range Description
Size 0-100 Replicates a physical room size.
Damping 0-100
Sound is reected with walls, furniture and
ttings etc. However it is also absorbed into
walls and materials. This emulates the
absorbent part of sound in a space.
Predelay 0-100
The time from the initial original sound being
triggered to the rst reections being heard.
Diffusion 0-100
Diffusion emulates how much sound is
dissipated. Essentially this is based on the
time period between the early reections. The
wider, the thinner the reverb effect.
