Sound Parameters – Effects

105 Waldorf Q User’s Manual

doesn´t produce all frequencies equally so the lowpass cuts the higher frequencies to produce a more

realistic reverb effect.

Predelay !Diffusion

100.0 ms | 127

Predelay 0…300ms

Determines the delay in milliseconds between the direct sound and the reverb effect output. A natural

reverb contains a reflexion which is heard later than the original signal. The predelay determines this

delay so that the reverb is separated from the original sound. Lower settings connect the reverb more

to the original signal while higher settings separate the effect signal to produce a more spatious sound.

Diffusion 0...127

Determines the consistency of different room materials. Lower settings produce a cold strong

reflection like a metal or tile wall. Higher settings make a warm and thick reverb as if the signal were

reflected by a uneven surface. Settings above 100 change the room characteristic even further.

Size ! Shape

010.0 m | 064

Size 3m…30m

Determines the length of the longest room side in meters. Lower settings simulate a normal room

while higher settings simulate a big hall or church.

Shape 0...127

Changes the characteristic of the reverb. In most effect units you can select different rooms and reverb

types like plate or echo chamber. The Shape parameter enables stepless changes of these reverb

types. Lower settings simulate a more natural reverb while higher settings simulate a plate reverb.

Decay ! Damping

100 | 100

Decay 0…127

Determines the length of the reverb reflections. To simulate a big room choose higher Decay settings,

to simulate a smaller room choose lower settings.

Damping 0…127

Determines how fast the room simulation dampens the higher reverb frequencies. Higher frequencies

are not dampened not as much as lower frequencies. This phenomenon makes a natural echo sound

somewhat hollow. Higher values of the Damping parameter mean more high frequencies will be

dampened.
