Glitz parameter

[shilohlsk]

Hi All,

 

Could someone explain the "Xover" parameter under Glitz reverb?

 

What is it actually controlling?

 

Thanks and have a good day~

Glitz Reverb

The Glitz reverb is Helix's take of the modern modulated reverb sound. There are oscillators in the pre-delay sections as well as near the end of the reverb algorithm. For the latter, there is crossover where everything above the set frequency is modulated to get that glistening sound int the mix without getting too much in the way of the core tone.

Controls Rundown: (excludes non-specialized controls, unless modified for this specific effect)

 

Decay:

 

The Decay control controls the amount of damping within the reverb algorithms, and such that as this is set higher the longer the reverb will last.

(Note: Our Decay parameter has a 0-10 nondescript unit, and not a time value, as the decay is very organically tied to the reverb voicing.)

 

PreDelay:

 

The amount of pre-delay time between the dry and wet sound. This is modified compared to the Legacy reverbs as the delay time is very slightly modulated with the Rate and Depth parameters. More modulation effect gives the effect of being in room with moving and spinning walls.

Note: If you want a less boozy reverb, this modulation can be nullified if the PreDelay is set to zero

 

Delay:

 

The amount delay time before the latter modulation oscillator.

Rate: The speed of the modulations for all oscillators in the reverb. This is interactive through different sections of the reverb algorithm. This can be set to tap tempo values as well.

 

Depth:

 

The depth of the modulations for all oscillators. This is interactive through different sections of the reverb

 

Xover:

 

The crossover will set the frequency where the later modulations will take effect. Everything below will only have the modulations from the early sections of the effect, and above will have the extra modulation. This and the Mod Mix param can be used to completely transform the voice of the Glitz Reverb. This is a parameter where experimentation is highly encouraged!

 

Mod Mix:

 

The amount of extra-modulated vs non-extra modulated sounds. This does come after the crossover section, so that your voicing for this reverb is highly dependent on the Xover parameter.

Thansk!~ You're awesome!
