  • Page 18: The Parameters

    The Parameters Reflection Level – This knob controls the level of the early reflections in the output mix. Reverb Level – This knob controls the level of the reverb tail in the output mix. Color – Color is the companion parameter to Rolloff. Rolloff filters the final output of the reverb, and is used for final matching of the reverb into the mix.
  • Page 19 Reverb Time – This is the approximate duration of the reverb "tail". The actual time is also determined by musical material as well as values of other parameters. Your choices for reverb time will be driven by the type of music you're mixing, as well as the amount of reverb (wet/dry) you use.
  • Page 20 Reverb Attack – This knob controls the attack of the reverb tail, or how quickly or slowly the reverb comes on. It also controls how large or small the reverb tail is. Mix – This knob controls the overall mix between the wet and dry signals. When this knob is set to 0% (full left), only the dry signal is heard.
