<h2>Syntax</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">ares <span class="command"><strong>reverb</strong></span> asig, krvt [, iskip]</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="idp40822440"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>iskip</em></span> (optional, default=0) -- initial disposition of delay-loop data space (cf. <a class="link" href="reson.html" title="reson"><em class="citetitle">reson</em></a>). The default value is 0.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="idp40823888"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>krvt</em></span> -- the reverberation time (defined as the time in seconds for a signal to decay to 1/1000, or 60dB down from its original amplitude).
</p>
<p>
A standard <span class="emphasis"><em>reverb</em></span> unit is composed of four <a class="link" href="comb.html" title="comb"><em class="citetitle">comb</em></a> filters in parallel followed by two <a class="link" href="alpass.html" title="alpass"><em class="citetitle">alpass</em></a> units in series. Loop times are set for optimal <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">natural room response.</span>”</span> Core storage requirements for this unit are proportional only to the sampling rate, each unit requiring approximately 3K words for every 10KC. The <a class="link" href="comb.html" title="comb"><em class="citetitle">comb</em></a>, <a class="link" href="alpass.html" title="alpass"><em class="citetitle">alpass</em></a>, <a class="link" href="delay.html" title="delay"><em class="citetitle">delay</em></a>, <a class="link" href="tone.html" title="tone"><em class="citetitle">tone</em></a> and other Csound units provide the means for experimenting with alternate reverberator designs.
</p>
<p>
Since output from the standard <span class="emphasis"><em>reverb</em></span> will begin to appear only after 1/20 second or so of delay, and often with less than three-fourths of the original power, it is normal to output both the source and the reverberated signal. If <span class="emphasis"><em>krvt</em></span> is inadvertently set to a non-positive number, <span class="emphasis"><em>krvt</em></span> will be reset automatically to 0.01. (New in Csound version 4.07.) Also, since the reverberated sound will persist long after the cessation of source events, it is normal to put <span class="emphasis"><em>reverb</em></span> in a separate instrument to which sound is passed via a <span class="emphasis"><em>global variable</em></span>, and to leave that instrument running throughout the performance.
