960L
Parameters Used in the 960L Algorithms (cont.)
Slope Slope (Reverse algorithm only) multiplies low-frequency energy and is similar in its effect to Bass
Multiply.
Spin Spin and Wander introduce small random variations within the reverberation, continuously altering
the reverb timbre to create a more natural sound. Spin controls the relative rate of motion and the
speed with which changes occur, expressed in arbitrary units. Wander controls the amount of
change. At extreme settings, these parameters can introduce slight wobbles that are audible in crit-
ical material such as classical guitar or piano.
Spread Spread works with Shape to control the profile of initial reverberant-energy growth. Shape sets the
contour of the energy growth and Spread stretches or compresses this contour in time to make
reflections closer together or further apart. With complex material, it may be advisable to use a
moderately high value for shape and a moderately low one for spread to create a bit of space
around the original signal. Large values of Spread and Shape can create "inverse" effects (see note
under Reverse algorithm). See also Contour.
Steering Steering (Stereo algorithms only) controls a matrix encoder that affects only the reverberant tails.
This provides a reverberation that will decode into surround without strong early components that
might trigger phase correction devices. Steering is not continuously variable, but offers the follow-
ing choices:
• Mono — Mono sum tail
• Narrow — between mono and stereo
• Stereo
• Wide — Expanded Stereo
• Lex — LexiconLogic™, a matrix that includes separate left and right surround signals when
used with a LexiconLogic decoder, but is also compatible with other commercial matrix
codings and with stereo and mono.
• Matrix — 4-2-4 encoding
Wander Wander and Spin introduce small random variations within the reverberation, continuously altering
the reverb timbre to create a more natural sound. Spin controls the relative rate of motion and the
speed with which changes occur, expressed in arbitrary units. Wander controls the amount of
change. At extreme settings, these parameters can introduce slight pitch wobbles that are audible
in critical material such as classical guitar or piano.
