About Reverb Effects
RAUM is a reverb effect that simulates the properties of acoustic spaces and adds special features like predelay feedback, the Freeze function, and lush modulation.
Reverb is a classic audio effect that simulates the acoustic properties of differently sized spaces, like rooms and halls. It has traditionally been used to add a sense of space to dry studio recordings, but its creative uses have also defined and spawned musical genres: from the iconic sound of gated reverb used on snare drums in 80s pop music, to psychedelic effects in dub music, to the cosmic sound of ambient.
Early devices used mechanical means to achieve the reverb effect, for example by exciting sheets of metal (plate reverb) or springs and picking up the vibrations of the material. Later, digital technology allowed the implementation of algorithms that model the reflection patterns in an acoustic space with increasing accuracy. Today, reverbs provide convincing simulations of real spaces, but also make it possible to explore sounds beyond what is physically possible.
RAUM bridges the gap between the different use cases by combining flexible reverb algorithms with special features like predelay feedback, the Freeze function, and lush modulation. Further expanding on the traditional notion of a reverb effect, it is designed to respond well to realtime control, whether it be in a performance situation or when automated in the DAW.
