about 30ms of pre-delay is added, this additional delay can add clarity with some
music, but it can also sound unnatural. Large pre-delays can be useful for slap-
echo effects on vocal tracks.
* A quick "double-click" on the slider button will allow you to control this delay with
more resolution. To exit this fine control mode, double-click on the button again.

RAN (Randomization) RAN sets the amount of randomization within the reverb process. Acoustically
it is similar to the Spin control in Random Hall.
DIF (Diffusion) DIF controls the degree to which initial echo density increases over time. High
settings of DIF result in high initial buildup of echo density; low settings cause low
initial buildup. Echo density is also affected by SIZ; smaller spaces will sound
denser. To enhance percussion, use high settings of DIF. For clearer, more
natural vocals, mixes, and music, use low or moderate settings.
SHP (Shape)
SHP and SPR work together to control the overall ambience of the reverberation
created by the 300L. SHP determines the contour of the reverberation envelope.
With SHP all the way down, reverberation builds explosively, and decays
quickly.
As SHP is advanced, reverberation builds up more slowly and sustains for the
time set by SPD. With SHP in the middle, the buildup and sustain of the
reverberation envelope emulates a large concert hall (assuming that SPR is at
least halfway up, and that SIZ is suitably large—30 meters or larger.)
SPR (Spread)
SPR works together with SHP to control the duration of the initial ambience
created by the 300L. Low SPR settings result in a rapid onset of reverberation
at the beginning of the envelope, with little or no sustain. Higher settings spread
out both the buildup and sustain.
When LNK is set, the reverb time and spread values scale linearly as the SIZ

control is varied. For some special effects, RTM and SPR can be unlinked.
