Lo Cut
Range: 20 to 200Hz
Adjustable filter that allows you to remove low frequencies from the Reverb Tail. The
Lo Cut frequency can be perceived as a Threshold frequency. The cut will be per-
formed according to the Lo Damp parameter.

Lo Damp
Range: -18dB to 0dB
Sets the amount of cut in dBs. (See Lo Cut description above).

Hi Cut
Range: 20Hz to 20kHz
Rolls off the top end of the signal as it enters the Reverb. Used in conjunction with Hi
Soften and Hi Decay to "darken" a room.

Hi Soften
Range: -50 to +50 (0 = default)
Hi Soften is a special filter used to "soften" the high frequencies of Reverb. This is not
a simple Hi Cut filter but a complex set of filters working together to remove those fre-
quencies that make a Reverb sound "brittle" or harsh. Hi Soften is scaled/linked to the
Hi Cut and Hi Decay.

Rev Balance
Range: -100dB R, center, -100dB L
The left/right balance of the Reverb. Allows you to offset the diffuse field from the
normal center position by attenuating the Reverb Tail level on the right or left channel.

Diffuse
Range: -50 to +50 (0 = default)
This parameter gives you more or less diffusion than the algorithm designer intended
for the given Decay time. For optimum performance the diffusion is automatically
adjusted behind the scenes whenever you change Decay times. This parameter gives
you the added control to vary the diffusion around this automatic setting.

Decay/Crossover

Lo Decay
Multiplier Range: 0.01 to 2.5
Multiplier for the frequencies below the Lo Xover frequency.
Example: If the Main Decay parameter is set to 2.0sec and the Lo Decay parameter is
set to 1.5, frequencies below the Lo Xover will decay for 3.0 sec. (=1.5 x 2.0sec).
Conversely if this parameter is set to 0.5 the Decay time below the Lo Xover point will
be only 1 sec.

Lo Xover
Range: 20Hz to 500Hz
Sets the frequency at which the transition from the low to the low-mid frequencies
takes place.
