VSS™ 6.1 Reverb
Choose your reverb wisely!
Make sure to read the Reverb Intro chapter of
this manual to learn about the differences be-
tween Generic and Source Reverb types.
VSS™ 6.1 is a Generic type. It takes in a com-
plete multichannel mix or stem and adds com-
plex Early Reflections as well as uncorrelated
diffused response to the signal. VSS™ 6.1 is the
first professional reverb to acknowledge the ad-
vantages of 6.1 room simulation to cover wide
audiences like in a cinema, or make the most out
of SACD 6.0 reproduction.
The improvements over 5.1 must be heard to be
believed, so make sure to enable 6.1 mode when
a separate Surround channel is available. The 6.1
mode is compatible with Dolby EX, DTS ES and
SACD 6.0.
VSS™ 6.1 Reverb – Introduction
Reverb is added to the five or six main-channels
(L,Center, R, SL, SR, SC). The LFE-channel is
passed through time aligned but unprocessed.
The algorithm can be used at sample rates be-
tween 44.1 and 96 kHz.
Input a 5.1 or 6.1 mix or stem, choose a Loca-
tion type and Output format. If you want to posi-
tion single-sources into the “VSS™ 6.1-Reverb”
or dynamically move sources around in the sur-
round-field, use either the SpacePan-5.1 algo-
rithm or a surround panner that may already ex-
ist within your mixing console.
High-quality Early Reflection patterns and five
uncorrelated Reverbs are integrated in this al-
gorithm. The extensive Early Reflection patterns
can be enabled to enhance localization and wid-
en the sweet spot.
The VSS™ 6.1 Reverb algorithm occupies:
– @ Normal Sample Rate: 2/4 DSP Resource
– @ Double Sample Rate: 3/4 DSP Resource
The inputs and outputs of this algorithm are dis-
tributed as follows:
Input Output
L
E1
E2
E3
E4
L
R R
C C
LFE LFE
SL SL
SR SR
SC SC
No Reverb is added to the LFE channel. The LFE
channel is time aligned according to processing
Delay.

Master Reverb
Master Decay
Range: 0.1 to 20 s
Adjusts the Master Decay time for the entire Dif-
fused image. If you need to adjust the Decay
time individually per channel, go to the Decay
page and use the multipliers for each channel.
Pre Delay
Range: 0 to 300 ms
Pre Delay on the complete wet signal on all five
main-channels.
Fr. Hi Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Hi Cut parameter for the Reverb Diffuse fields in
the Front channels.
