Applying reverb

You can process the dry piano sound with the built-in high-quality reverb. With the reverb parameters, you can specify different ambient spaces, e.g. concert halls, churches, or studios. In addition, you can adjust the characteristics of the reverb.

To add reverb to the piano sound, proceed a follows:

1. From the reverb pop-up menu, select an ambience preset.

   The On/Off button to the left of the pop-up menu turns red.

2. If necessary, adjust the parameters Room Size, Time, Pre-Delay, and Mix, see below.

The following reverb parameters are available:

Reverb pop-up menu

The integrated reverb effect can use two different reverb engines, a convolution and an algorithmic reverb. For both, the Reverb menu offers various ambient spaces, organized in correspondingly named submenus. When you change the Reverb preset, the parameters Room Size, Time and Pre-Delay are updated accordingly to match the characteristics of the selected room. Only the Mix parameter remains unchanged.

Room Size

This parameter lets you scale the dimensions of the room.

The control range is from 0% to 100%. For example, by decreasing the Room Size you can turn a concert hall into a small room.

Time

Use this parameter to shorten or extend the reverb time. The control range is from 0% to 100%. With lower settings, the reverb decays earlier and vice versa.

Pre-Delay

With Pre-Delay, you can add a short delay to the reverb signal. The greater the delay, the later the reverb will start and the more separated the reverb signal will be from the direct sound of the piano. The control range is from 0ms to 500ms.

Mix

This determines the mix of the piano and the reverb. The control range is from 0% to 100%. At a setting of 0% you will hear only the piano, just like the player sitting close to the piano. At a setting of 100% you will hear only the reverb, just like sitting in the audience. Hence, by increasing this parameter, you increase the distance between the listener and the player.
