Reverb
This module contains classic and generic algorithms for
simulating
an instrument-specific reverb
. Some reverb
types are traditionally generated electronically, while others
(e.g. Plate) emulate mechanical devices that add artificial
reverb to the dry recording.
The difference between instrument reverb and room reverb
is conceptual rather than a property.
Does an instrument possess reverb when there is no room?
This is certainly a philosophical question. Both modules
offer the same parameters except for the gate threshold
(Instrument Reverb only). With Room Reverb you can put
the whole kit in an environment and with the addition of
Instrument Reverb it is possible to add reverb effects to the
environment - selectively for each input channel. In this
sense, the additional Gate Threshold parameter is artificial
in nature and therefore belongs exclusively to Instrument
Reverb. The factory presets provided for Instrument Reverb
focus on instrument-specific effects but derive their proper-
ties from the same parameters and value ranges.
