Overview RoomVerb M1 is a studio-quality true-stereo reverb processor soundskin for the Chameleon. It has been ported to the Soundart Chameleon by Spin Audio, from their respected VST reverb plug-in. It is based on their Virtual Room Acoustic modeling techniques. These allow the Chameleon to simulate a wide variety of acoustic spaces from small bathrooms to large halls using a single set of parameters.

These parameters are totally independent, thus you can design spaces like long tunnels and deep wells. Dimensions can vary from 1 to 50 meters allowing you to model a small phone booth as easily as a large hall. Roomverb M1– User’s Manual...

Besides three-dimensional spaces Roomverb can also model 2-dimensional spaces - you may think of them as plate reverbs. The plate reverb mode is turned on simply when you set a room's height to minimum - to zero value. The above parameters determine only common spatial properties. In order to calculate an actual impulse response there should be virtual sound source and two recording points for a stereo result.

example of a distinctive acoustic space that can be recreated in using a digital reverb like Roomverb. 2.2.1 EARLY REFLECTIONS PROCESSOR The Early Reflections processor uses the Impulse Response data of a virtual room which is calculated by the Virtual Room Modeler block. There is only one parameter - Pre-delay [REVERB\Early\Predelay].
Late reflections for the Chameleon stereo output. It also allows you to adjust the level of the input signals [MASTER\Gain\In]. The mixing proportions are set by three parameters: wet/dry balance, ER gain and LR gain. These are very important parameters as the proportions Roomverb M1– User’s Manual...

between the dry signal, early and late reflections greatly affect the sound and spatial feel of the reverb. Basically the wet/dry balance is used to set a perceptual distance of a sound in a mix. The more reverb and less original signal, the further away sound source is perceived to be by our ears.

(where XX is the current version of the skin). Like any other Chameleon skin, you have to take care with the user data stored in the existing skin before downloading Roomverb M1. If you have an older version of RoomVerb M1 installed in your Chameleon, your existing presets and configuration will be properly updated to the new version once you download it, so it’s not mandatory to make a backup of them (although it...
