Quasar (Reverb)

Reverb

Quasar Device

Essentials

Quasar is a versatile reverb with Pre-delay, Decay, Damping, filtering, modulation, and mix. It covers subtle rooms through to vast atmospheres. Creates echoes of sound, imitating how sound behaves in physical spaces.
  1. Pre-delay, decay, and damping controls
  2. Filtering and modulation
  3. Mix control for wet/dry balance
  4. From subtle rooms to vast atmospheres

Main

ControlDescription
Pre-delay Time before the reverb tail starts (0 to 1000 ms)
Decay Controls the decay duration of the plate reverb tail (0 to 100%). 0 = maximum decay time, 100% = minimum decay time
Damping Dampening factor of the plate decay (0 to 100%). 100% = maximum dampening, 0% = minimum dampening. Restricts the vibration of the plate

Diffuse

Quasar Diffuse
Diffuse
ControlDescription
Input The first of two diffusion parameters that "diffuses" the input signal across time (-100 to 100%)
Tank The second of two diffusion parameters that "diffuses" the input signal across time (-100 to 100%)

Filters

Quasar Filters
Filters
ControlDescription
HPF Highpass filter frequency, removes low frequencies (20 to 20000 Hz). Applied to the signal after the pre-delay
LPF Lowpass filter frequency, removes high frequencies (20 to 20000 Hz). Applied to the signal after the pre-delay
Slope

Filter slope:

  • 12 dB/Octave: 12 dB per octave
  • 24 dB/Octave: 24 dB per octave
  • 36 dB/Octave: 36 dB per octave
  • 48 dB/Octave: 48 dB per octave

Vibrato

Quasar Vibrato
Vibrato
ControlDescription
Amount Depth of the vibrato (0 to 100%). 0% = no vibrato, 100% = maximum vibrato. Creates a "flutter" effect on the reverb tail
Frequency Frequency of the vibrato (0.01 to 20 Hz)

Output

Quasar Output
Output
ControlDescription
Dry Gain factor for the dry signal (not affected by reverb). Equivalent to a dB range of -∞ to 0 dB (0 to 100%)
Wet Gain factor for the wet (reverberated) signal. Equivalent to a dB range of -∞ to 0 dB (0 to 100%)
On/Off Activates or bypasses the effect

Practical Tips

Practical Tips

  • Use Pre-delay for rhythmic separation.
  • Use HPF to keep the low end clean.
  • Increase Decay and Vibrato Amount for ethereal spaces.
  • Automate Wet/Dry for creative transitions.
