Add it to a track
Select the destination track, open Plugins, and choose Add Effect. Find this device in Library → Effects. Effects process the signal from the devices before them in the chain.
Controls
| Control | What to listen or look for |
|---|---|
| Decay A | Sets how long the resonant or reverberant sound takes to fade. |
| Decay B | Sets how long the resonant or reverberant sound takes to fade. |
| Size A | Changes the apparent size of the resonant space. |
| Size B | Changes the apparent size of the resonant space. |
| Damp | Reduces high-frequency energy as the sound decays, making the tail darker. |
| Predelay | Sets the gap between the original sound and the start of the reverb. |
| Blend | Balances the two reverb engines. |
| Width | Adjusts the difference between the left and right channels to change stereo width. |
| Freeze | Holds the current effect content so it continues without following new input. |
| Character | Chooses the tonal character or type of simulated space. |
| Output | Sets the signal level leaving this stage. |
| Mix | Blends the original signal with the processed signal; 100% gives only the processed sound. |
| Convolution | Enables the convolution component of the reverb. |
| Mod | Adds movement to the effect by varying its internal processing over time. |
| Diffusion | Spreads reflections through this stage for a smoother, denser reverb tail. |
| Family | Chooses the tonal character or type of simulated space. |
| Low Cut | Removes frequencies below the low-cut frequency. |
| Network A | Chooses Householder or Scattering for reverb network A. |
| Network B | Chooses Householder or Scattering for reverb network B. |
| Early / Late | Balances early reflections and the later reverb tail. |
| Long Pre-Delay | Sets the gap before the reverb begins, up to five seconds in extended mode. |
Work with this device
Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.
Current behavior
Network A and Network B choose Householder or Scattering. Their decay and size controls remain separate. Convolution and its generated-response controls are another path. The Pre-Delay selector exposes the active range; the extended range reaches 5 seconds. A visible response or meter does not establish listening or endurance qualification.
