The length of time it takes for the reections to build up is known as
the reverse time, or the gate time, since it works like a gated reverb that
has been reversed in time. Figure 11.12 depicts a possible reverse reverb
impulse response.
An interesting, related technique is to reverse the signal, apply the reverb,
and reverse again.
Common Parameters
The available parameters to control a reverberator can vary widely. The fol-
lowing parameters apply mainly to algorithmic reverb. For convolutional
reverb, the choice of the room impulse response is of primary importance,
and a commercial audio effect will often come with a wide ...
