Color

Reverb

Lo Cut

Range: 20Hz to 200Hz

Determines the Lo Cut frequency. 

Attenuation amount is controlled via the Lo Damp 

parameter.

Lo Damp

Range: 0 to -18dB

Attenuation of the frequencies below the selected 

frequency via the Lo Cut parameter.

Hi Cut

Range: 20Hz to 20kHz

Determines the Hi Cut frequency for the Diffuse Field part 

of the Reverb.

Hi Soften

Range: -50 to +50

Hi Soften is a special filter used to “soften” the high 

frequencies of Reverb diffuse field. This is not a simple 

Hi Cut filter but a complex set of filters working together 

to remove the frequencies that gives a “brittle” or “harsh” 

sounding Reverb. Hi Soften is scaled/linked to the Hi Cut 

and Hi Decay parameters.

Lo Decay

Range: 0.01 to 2.5

Decay multiplier in relation to the Master Decay, for the 

frequencies below the Lo Xover setting. 

Example: When a Decay multiplier is set to 1.25 and the 

Master Decay is 2.0 seconds the resulting decay time will 

be 2.5 seconds.

LoMid Decay

Decay multiplier in relation to the Master Decay, for the 

frequencies above the Lo Xover and below the Mid Xover 

settings. Example: When a Decay multiplier is set to 1.25 

and the Master Decay is 2.0 seconds the resulting decay 

time will be 2.5 seconds.

HiMid Decay

Decay multiplier in relation to the Master Decay, for the 

frequencies above the Mid Xover and below the Hi Xover 

settings. 

Example: When a Decay multiplier is set to 1.25 and the 

Master Decay is 2.0 seconds the resulting decay time will 

be 2.5 seconds.

Hi Decay

Decay multiplier in relation to the Master Decay, for the 

frequencies above the Hi Xover setting. Example: When a 

Decay multiplier is set to 1.25 and the Master Decay is 2.0 

seconds the resulting decay time will be 2.5 seconds.

Lo Xover

Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Lo and LoMid 

Decay.

Mid Xover

Sets the Cross-over frequency between the LoMid and 

HiMid Decay.

Hi Xover

Sets the Cross-over frequency between the HiMid and Hi 

Decay.

Reverb Modulation

The algorithm designers have adjusted the diffuse field 

part of the reverb to be as smooth and natural sounding as 

possible. However to integrate with the source material or 

to get a different sound, it’s sometimes needed to add in 

modulation to the late part of the reverb.

Modulation Type

Select between different types of modulation on the five 

Reverb diffuse fields.

Modulation Rate

Range: +/-50

Adjusts the Rate of the selected modulation.

Modulation Depth

Range: 0 - 200%

Adjusts the Depth of the selected modulation.
