The DreamVerb user interface ( Figure 36 on page 100 ) is similarly organized.
Reflected energy equalization is controlled with the Resonance panel. The
pattern of early reflections (their relative timing and amplitudes) is determined
by the room shapes in the Shape panel (
Figure 40 on page 103 ). Early reflec-
tion pre-delay, slope, timing, and amplitude are specified in the Reflections
panel (
Figure 42 on page 108 ). The Materials panel ( Figure 41 on page 105 )
is used to select relative late-field decay rates as a function of frequency. The
late-field predelay, decay rate, room diffusion, slope, and level is specified in
the Reverberation panel (
Figure 43 on page 109 ). Finally, the Positioning
panel ( Figure 44 on page 111 ) contains controls for the placement of the
source, early reflections, and late-field reverberation.
Resonance (Equalization) Panel
The Resonance panel ( Figure 38 on page 102 ) is a five-band equalizer that
can control the overall frequency response of the reverb, effecting its per-
ceived brilliance and warmth. By adjusting its Amplitude and band Edge con-
trols, the equalizer can be configured as shelving or parametric EQs, as well
as hybrids between the two.
The EQ curve effects the signal feeding both the early reflections and the late
field reverberations, but not the direct path.
Bands 1 and 5 are configured as shelving bands. Bands 2, 3, and 4 also
have an Edge control for adjusting its bandwidth.
Generally speaking, a lot of high-frequency energy results in a brilliant rever-
beration, whereas a good amount of low-frequency content gives a warm re-
verberation.
Note: The values for the EQ parameters are displayed in the text fields at the
bottom of the Resonance panel. The values can also be entered directly using
the text entry method.
