Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Name

The name of the Effect instance.

Effect instances are a group of effect property settings. They can be one of two types: custom instances or ShareSets. Custom instances can be used by only one object, whereas ShareSets can be shared across several objects.

Effect

The type of effect.

Shared by (Used by)

A list of objects that currently subscribe to the selected ShareSet.

This field is called “Used by” when editing a custom instance of the Effect.

Opens a search field where standard alphanumeric entries filter out unmatching elements from the view. Learn more in Using Tables.

Click the Close icon to the left of the search icon to close the search field and remove the filter.

	Note
	The searches do not include elements in collapsed nodes of the List View, Query Editor, MIDI Keymap Editor, and Reference View.

Returns the Effect property settings to their default values.

This option is only available when editing a custom instance of the Effect.

Effect Settings

Pre-delay

The delay that occurs before the signal enters the reverberation unit. A longer pre-delay time can be used to simulate larger rooms where the first echoes take longer to be heard. The first reflection will be heard at a time interval based on the sum of the pre-delay time and the shortest of the delay lines specified for the reverb.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 1
Units: Seconds

Reverb time

The time taken for the sound to decay by 60 dB from its original amplitude.

Default value: .4
Slider Range: .1 to 10
Units: Seconds

HF ratio

A rolloff factor to control the reverberation time for high relative to low frequencies. For example a ratio of 2 means that the reverberation time at Nyquist frequency will be twice as short as the reverberation time of DC, a 0 Hz oscillation frequency.

When the value of this ratio is less than 1, the high frequency reverberation time becomes longer than the lower frequencies. In some cases the HF Ratio used will be less than specified to avoid stability problems fundamental to the algorithm when using shorter reverb times combined with long delay times and higher HF ratio.

Default value: 2
Range: .5 to 10

Wet level

Gain factor applied to reverberated sound.

Default value: -35
Range: -96.3 to 0
Units: dBFS (decibels full scale)

Dry level

Gain factor applied to direct path sound.

Default value: -96.3
Range: -96.3 to 0
Units: dBFS (decibels full scale)

	Note
	This property has no effect when the reverb is used in an Auxiliary Bus. In this case, the dry signal is defined by the object sending to the Auxiliary Bus.

Process LFE

Determines whether the Effect is processed in the LFE channel or not. When selected, the Effect is always processed in the LFE channel. When unselected, either of the following occurs:

There will be silence in the LFE channel, if the Effect is used in an Auxiliary Bus.

The LFE channel will be unaffected, if the Effect is applied as an inserted effect.

Quality vs Performance

A setting that specifies your preferences in the compromise between sound quality and performance (memory and processing) You can select one of the following:

Default delay lengths

Specifies that the delay length's default settings will be used.

Custom delay lengths

Specifies that a matrix comprised of individual delay lengths for each delay line will be used to change the “color” of the reverb and to add artistic effects. Longer delay lines increase the modal density of the reverb but also increase the memory usage, and decreases the echo density.

Range: 1 to 35
Units: Milliseconds
