The reverb graphs display information about the tonal spectrum and envelope contour of the reverb. The Reverb EQ and Reverb Color graphs provide graphic editing tools for shaping the harmonic spectrum of the reverb.
In addition to the standard slider controls, the Reverb EQ and Reverb Color graph settings can be adjusted by dragging elements of the graph display.
To select the EQ or Color graph for editing (AAX version only):
You can use this 3-band equalizer to shape the tonal spectrum of the reverb. The EQ is post-reverb and affects both the reverb tail and the early reflections.
Sets the frequency boundaries between the low, mid, and high band ranges of the EQ.
The low frequency slider (60.0 Hz–22.5 kHz) sets the frequency boundary between low and mid cut/boost points in the EQ.
The high-frequency slider (64.0 Hz–24.0 kHz) sets the frequency boundary between the mid and high cut/boost points in the EQ.
Control cut and boost values for the low, mid, and high frequencies of the EQ. To cut a frequency band, drag a breakpoint downward. To boost, drag upward. The adjustable range is from –24.0 dB to 12.0 dB.
Sets the frequency above which a 6 dB/octave low pass filter attenuates the processed signal. It removes both early reflections and reverb tails, affecting the overall high-frequency content of the reverb. Use the HF Cut control to roll off high frequencies and create more natural-sounding reverberation. The adjustable range is from 120.0 Hz to 24.0 kHz.
You can use the Reverb Color graph to shape the tonal spectrum of the reverb by controlling the decay times of the different frequency bands. Low and high crossover points define the cut and boost points of three frequency ranges.
For best results, set crossover points at least two octaves higher than the frequency you want to boost or cut. For example, to boost a signal at 100 Hz, set the crossover to 400 Hz.
Set the crossover to 500 Hz to boost low frequencies most effectively. Set it to 1.5 kHz to cut low frequencies most effectively.
Sets the frequency boundaries between the low, mid, and high frequency ranges of the reverberation filter.
The low-frequency slider sets the crossover frequency between low and mid frequencies in the reverberation filter. The adjustable range is from 60.0 Hz to 22.5 kHz.
The high-frequency slider sets the crossover frequency between mid and high frequencies in the reverberation filter. The adjustable range is from 64.0 Hz to 24.0 kHz.
Controls cut and boost ratios for the decay times of the low, mid, and high-frequency bands of the reverberation filter. To cut a frequency band, drag a breakpoint downward. To boost, drag it upward. The adjustable range is from 1:8 to 8:1.
Sets the frequency above which sounds decay at a progressively faster rate. This determines the decay characteristic of the high-frequency components of the reverb.
HF Damp works in conjunction with HF Cut to shape the overall high -frequency contour of the reverb. HF Damp filters the entire reverb with the exception of the early reflections. At low settings, high frequencies decay more quickly than low frequencies, simulating the effect of air absorption in a hall. The adjustable range is from 120.0 Hz to 24.0 kHz.
The Reverb Contour graph displays the envelope of the reverb, as determined by the early reflections and reverb tail.
Toggles the display mode. Selecting ER (early reflections) displays early reflections data in the graph. Selecting RC (reverb contour) displays the initial reverberation envelope in the graph. Early Reflections and Reverb Contour can be displayed simultaneously.
