The reverb effect adds an echo to the original sound. There are 3 main types: Hall (room) Gate,
and Reverse.

Predelay: This adjusts the delay time from the generation of the sound to the beginning of
the reverb.
Time: This adjusts the time it takes for the reverb to diminish and dissolve.
Diffuse: This sets the density of the reflected sound of the reverb. When the value is low,
the echo effect is emphasized. When it is high you get a smoother effect.
Near: This adjusts the distance from the sound source. The larger the value, the closer the
sound, the smaller the value, the more distant the sound becomes.
LF damping: This cuts the low frequency contained in the reverb.
HF damping: This cuts the high frequency contained in the reverb.

Select GATED 1 or GATED 2 in the Type: field of the Reverb window. This produces an
effect of a reverb sound that is forcedly cut. The decay characteristics differ between GATE 1 and
GATE 2. GATE 2 sounds more synthetic.
