Diffuse
-

- Adjusts the coefficients of the allpass filters in the late - reverberation algorithm. It enables the user to balance echo - density against unpleasant colouration so that the result - enhances rather than detracts from the audio input signal. -

-

- A challenge that the designers of early digital reverbs - faced was generating a realistic number of early reflections - or echo density. One solution to this problem was to use - allpass filter networks. Although successful in increasing - echo density, the downside of allpass filter networks is - that they have a tendency to resonate, particularly when the - input signal is impulsive. This means that there is a - tradeoff between echo density and colouration. -

-

- In general, low echo density or diffusion settings increase - the perception of discrete echoes. In the case of - transient-rich sounds this can lead to “machine-gun-like” - effects in which individual echoes are heard. For sustained - sounds, this is less of an issue. Increasing the Diffusion - setting makes individual echoes less perceptible and - generally leads to a smoother, more lush reverb sound - however it also can introduce metallic resonances which can - be noticeable but depend to a large extent on the nature of - the input signal. -

-

- To better understand the effects of the Diffuse control, - open a track with clear percussive sounds. Decreasing the - Diffuse value will result in fewer, more discrete - reflections in the late reverberation. When set at very low - values the late reverberation has an almost "shattering" - sound to it. A higher Diffuse setting results in the late - reverberation having a smoother and richer sound. -

Spin
-

Wander
-

- Length of modulated chorus effect on the late reverberation, - measured in milliseconds. -

-

- To better understand the effects of Spin and Wander, set a - large room size, a long delay, Modulation to 100%, and - Wander to 0%. Then play an abrupt sound such as a - percussion hit or a chord on piano or guitar. You'll notice - the reverb tail panning alternately left and right in the - stereo field at the rate set by Spin control. There are - multiple layers to the late reverberation, but they are all - synchronised in the stereo space when Wander is set to 0 - ms. Next, increase the Wander setting, which will make the - layers spread out in the stereo space. The layers all still - spin at the same rate, but at any given time each one has - its own location in the stereo field. -
