TC SX-1 Reverb
The TC Reverb plugin is a very comprehensive and
high-quality reverb algorithm. It mainly consists of 4 functional blocks:
Level Mix Controls
,
Space Editor
,
Highcut
Filter
, and
Time Editor
.
The TC SX-1 Reverb has a very powerful reverb
algorithm core. Take a look at the block diagram
below to get a better idea of the signal flow:
Level Mix Controls
MIX This parameter sets the balance between the
source signal and the processed signal. At
0%
, you
will only hear the source, while at
100%
you will only
hear the processed signal. When you are using the
reverb in a send/return configuration, you will usu-
ally want to check the
100%
box. This disables the
MIX
slider and locks the mix ratio at 100% wet.
L/R BALANCE Use this control to set the left/right
balance of the Initial Reflections.
TAIL BALANCE With this fader you can set the left/
right balance of the Reverb Tail.
STEREO WIDTH Stereo Width determines how
“wide” the reverb should be:
0%
is the same as mono,
and
100%
is wide stereo.
Space Editor The Space Editor defines the basic
structure of the room. In natural reverberation, the
early reflection happens within the first second of the
response. This is where the sound is very clearly
reflected by the walls and floors, and you can “feel”
which type of room you are in. The second stage is
the reverb process; here, the original sound is almost
‘lost’ within millions of chain reflections—so that
even two very different rooms often sound much
alike. The early reflection is actually the part of the
reverberation process that defines the room charac-
teristics.
SHAPE
Shape defines the basic room type and early
reflection pattern. By clicking on label beside the
Shape
label above the display you will get a pull-
