VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P

2.1 Reverb algorithms

REVERB: As the term suggests, a "reverb" is a reverberation effect. The reverb can be considered as the most
important effect in a mix-down or a live event. The DSP2024P offers 12 different reverberation programs so that
you have a suitable reverb for every situation. Cathedral simulates the dense, long reverberation of a large
cathedral, which is appropriate for solo instruments or vocals in slow pieces. Gold Plate simulates the sound
of plate reverberators and hence is a classic for drums (snare) and vocals. Small Hall simulates a small, lively
(strongly reflecting) hall. With Room, you can clearly hear the walls of the room. Studio represents a small- to
middle-sized room. With Concert, you can select between a small theater and a large hall. Stage is well
suited to dissipating the sound of a keyboard or an acoustic guitar. Spring Reverb simulates a classic spring
reverberation. Ambience reproduces a room impression without late reflections. With Early Reflections,
the initial reflections of a room are clearly audible.
GATED REVERB: This effect synthetically cuts off reverberation after a period of time. It is famous in the song
"In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins.
REVERSE REVERB: This is a reverberation in which the envelope is reversed—it slowly gets louder.

2.2 Delay algorithms

STEREO DELAY: A delay of the input signal. Different tempo settings allow interesting delay effects.
TAPE ECHO: Similar to the stereo delay, with the difference being that the repetitions have less presence. This
simulates the character of the original tape echo that was used before the digital era and can be thought of as
a "Vintage Sound". The tape echo's reflections include high and low pass filters.
