Banks 1-4: the Reverb Programs

In this chapter we'll discuss the original
Reverberation and Plate programs
created for the 480L.
Two different algorithms are used to create these
programs. The primary difference between the two is
the density of the reverberation. The algorithm with
greater density is used primarily for Room and Plate
programs. To discover which algorithm is used by a
particular program, go to page three to see how many
pre-echo voices are available — the dense algorithm
has only two voices.
Both algorithms have fixed, or "static" reverberation
characteristics. A new algorithm, with random motion
characteristics is described in Banks11 -12: Random
Halls and Rooms. The Random Hall algorithm pro-
vides a smoother reverberant characteristic, and is
better suited for material which requires large space
emulation, or longer reverb time.
