Chapter 17: DreamVerb
Shape Menus
DreamVerb lets you specify two room shapes that can
be blended to create a hybrid of early reflection pat-
terns. The first and second shape each have their own
menu. The available shapes are the same for each of
the two shape menus.
The first shape is displayed in the upper area of the
Shape panel, and the second shape is displayed in the
lower area.
To select a first or second shape, click its shape pop-up
selector menu to view the available shapes, then drag
to the desired shape and release.
Shape Blending
Bar
The Shape Blending Bar (see
Figure 74 on page 207
) is used to blend the two
shapes together at any ratio. The two shapes are not just mixed together with
this parameter; the early reflections algorithm itself is modified by blending.
Blend the early reflection patterns of the two rooms by dragging the Blending
Bar. Drag the bar to the bottom to emphasize the first shape; drag to the top
to emphasize the second shape.
The relative percentages of the two rooms appear at the bottom of the Shape
panel. To use only one room shape, drag the Blending Bar so a shape is set
to 100%.
The resulting early reflection pattern is displayed at the top of the Reflections
panel (
Figure 76 on page 212
), where each reflection is represented by a yel-
low vertical line with a height indicating its arrival energy, and a location in-
dicating its arrival time.
