Reverb Node

An algorithmic reverb with 8 distinct room types, early reflections, and modulation for realistic spatial effects.

Visualizer

The Reverb Visualizer displays:

• Early reflection pattern
• Decay envelope
• Current early/late balance

Tips

• Start with Pre-Delay to separate the dry signal from reverb
• Use Damping to prevent harsh high-frequency buildup
• Lower Size for tighter spaces, higher for vast halls
• Shimmer mode works beautifully with long decay times
• For drums, try Plate or Gated modes
