8.2: REVERBS
Reverberation (or “reverb” for short) is the complex effect created by the way we perceive sound in an
enclosed space. When sound waves encounter an object or boundary, they don’t just stop. Some of
thesoundisabsorbedbytheobject,butmostofthesoundisreectedorisdiffused.Inanenclosed
space, reverb is dependent on many features of that space, including the size, shape and the type of
materials that line the walls. Even with closed eyes, a listener can easily tell the difference between a
cupboard, a locker room and a large auditorium. Reverb is a natural component of the acoustic
experience, and most people feel that something is missing without it.
ROOM
Room produces an excellent simulation of a small room which is useful for speech applications. Room is also prac-
tical when used judiciously for fattening up high energy signals like electric guitar amp
recordings.
Parameter 1: Liveliness
Parameter 2: Decay Time
PLATE
The plate reverb algorithm simulates the original plate reverb eect - a large, thin sheet of metal suspended
upright under tension on springs. Transducers attached to the plate transmit a signal that makes the plate vibrate,
causing sounds to appear to be occurring in a large, open space. Plate reverbs are designed to be heard as part
of the music, mellowing and thickening the initial sound. Plate reverbs are often used to enhance popular music,
particularly percussion.
