reverberation. Ambient Chamber is particularly useful in
two channel mode, and whenever a surround program is
being designed to play back primarily in a two-channel
matrix form.
Reverse & Surround Reverse
Reverse is a new algorithm that is somewhat different from
the effect other processors call "Inverse." Unlike traditional
Inverse, which is a gated reverb whose reflection density
increases until a cut-off time is reached, Reverse's reflec-
tion density decreases over time, while its reflection level
increases over time, as if you had recorded a signal
through a reverb device, then played the recording back-
wards. This is the exact reverse of normal reverberant
behavior, exactly like the time-honored effect of reversing
a tape. The effect begins with a quiet, dense reverb and
gradually becomes louder and thins out to reveal the orig-
inal signal.
It's important to remember that in Reverse all the parame-
ters work backwards. For example, if RtHicut (see parame-
ter listing below) is low, the reverb will become brighter as
it develops.
Reflections play an important part in this effect. They
should be adjusted so that they occur at or near the end
of the reverb. In other words, they play the role of the orig-
inal signal, so they come last.
For Reverse to work as designed, the Mix parameter must
be set 100% wet, both at the 960L and at the mixer.

Inverse

The traditional inverse effect can also be achieved, if
desired, by using any of the Hall, Chamber, or Plate effects
and doing as follows:
• Select a very large room Size.
• Bring Midrt all the way down.
• Set the Contour parameter to
a high value (like 10).
• Control the overall shape and
density using Shape, Spread and Size.
