Use Space Designer output parameters

Use the output parameters to adjust the balance between the direct, or dry, signals and the processed signals. The parameters that are available depend on the input configuration.

Space Designer provides two output sliders—the Dry slider for the direct signal, and the Rev slider for the reverb signal—when you insert it as a mono, mono to stereo, or stereo effect.

• Set the level of the Dry slider: Move to set the level of the non-effect, or dry, signal. Move the slider to a value of 0 (mute) if Space Designer is inserted in a bus channel or you are using modeling impulse responses, such as speaker simulations.

• Set the level of the Rev(erb) slider: Move to adjust the output level of the effect, or wet, signal.

The Spread and Xover (crossover) knobs enhance the perceived width of the signal without losing the directional information of the input signal normally found in the higher frequency range. Low frequencies are spread to the sides, reducing the amount of low frequency content in the center—allowing the reverb to encompass the mix.

• Set the level of the Spread knob and field: Rotate to extend the stereo base to frequencies that fall below the frequency determined by the Xover parameter.

  • At a Spread value of 0.00, no stereo information is added. (The inherent stereo information of the source signal and reverb, however, is retained.)

  • At a Spread value of 1.00, left and right channel divergence is at its maximum.

• Set the level of the Xover knob and field: Rotate to set the crossover frequency in Hertz. Any synthesized impulse response frequency that falls below the value you set is affected by the Spread parameter (at values over 0).
