THE EFFECT DEVICES
347
Plate
A classic plate reverb, excellent for vocals for example. The parameters are:
Spring
An emulation of a spring reverb as can be found in guitar amplifiers, organs, etc. The
spring reverb has the following parameters:
Echo
This is an advanced echo effect, with diffusion controls and tempo sync. When Echo
is selected, the Decay control on the main panel controls the echo feedback (the
number of echo repeats). The parameters are:
Multi Tap
The Multi Tap delay produces up to four different delays with separate delay times,
panning and level. The whole set of four delay taps can then be repeated at a given
rate. Again, the Decay control on the main panel controls the feedback (the number of
repeats for the whole multi tap set). All delay times can be tempo synced.
Note: this algorithm is handled a bit differently since you make separate settings for
each delay tap:
• The parameters to the left of the display are common for all taps.
• You use the Edit Select parameter in the top right corner to select which tap to
make settings for - the three parameters below affect the currently selected tap.
Tap 2 selected for editing.

Description
LF Damp Controls how quickly the low frequencies should decay in the re-
verb. Raise it to gradually remove low frequencies, making the re-
verb sound “thinner” and less boomy.
Predelay Sets the predelay time, i.e. the delay between the source signal
and the start of the reverb.

Description
Length Sets the length of the simulated spring.
Diffusion At low Diffusion settings, you will hear the individual reverb
“bounces” more clearly, while higher settings produce a more
“smeared”, dense and even reverb.
Disp Freq When sending a signal to a real-life spring reverb, the initial tran-
sient will produce a quick, characteristic sweeping tonal noise.
This is because different frequencies in the sound are delayed by
different amounts (a phenomenon called dispersion). This parame-
ter controls the frequency of that sound.
LF Damp Controls how quickly the low frequencies should decay in the re-
verb. Raise it to gradually remove low frequencies, making the re-
verb sound “thinner” and less boomy.
Stereo (on/off) Determines whether the output of the spring reverb should be in
mono or stereo.
Predelay Sets the predelay time, i.e. the delay between the source signal
and the start of the early reflections and reverb.
Disp Amount Sets the amount of dispersion effect (see Disp Freq above).

Description
Echo Time Sets the time between each echo.
When Tempo Sync (see below) is off, the echo time is set in milli-
seconds (10 - 2000 ms); when Tempo Sync is on you set the echo
time as a number of 1/16 notes or 1/8 triplet notes, in relation to
the current song tempo.
Diffusion When this is set to 0, the echo will sound as a standard delay with
clear, precise repeats. Raising the Diffusion setting will introduce
additional echoes very close to the “main” echo repeats, causing a
“smeared” echo sound. This will also expand the echo stereo im-
age.
Tempo Sync Determines whether the echo time should be freely set (“off”) or
synchronized to Reason’s tempo (“on”).
LF Damp Controls how quickly the low frequencies should decay in the ech-
oes. Raise it to gradually remove low frequencies.
Spread Adjusts the spacing of the additional echoes added by the Diffu-
sion parameter. For a very smeared echo (sound more like a re-
verb), set both Diffusion and Spread to their maximum values.
Predelay Sets an additional delay time before the first echo repeat.
