Reverb

Unique reverb like effect. It's not a usual reverb algorithm consisting of delay networks to
simulate reflections of real rooms. The reverb is part of the additive engine and it affects
the amplitude of the partials. So one specialty is that the reverb signal is pitched. It fol­
lows the pitch of the voice. RAZORs reverb effects sound quite different in monophonic
and polyphonic mode as every voice has its own copy of the stereo effect. In polyphonic
mode the reverb is polyphonic too. That means with a new note the reverb tails in the oth­
er synth voices continue to decay with their own pitch. In monophonic mode the reverb tail
is monophonic too. So with a new note the pitch of the reverb tail from previous notes is
taken over by the new note. Which is very musical because the played melody 'gets thru'
even with very long reverb tails. So the reverb is not just an external effect to add some
'room' but it is an integral part of the synthesizer. Also the reverb tails is completely devoid
of metallic ringing or audible delay pattern found in some reverb plug-ins even with very
short decay times. They reverb tail consists of filtered noise. So it never repeats itself giv­
ing it an unheard lively quality.
