Reverb
Reverb is the phenomenon in which sound bounces off the walls within a room, creating hundreds (thousands?) of echoes
that cannot be individually identified by the human ear. The total result of all these echoes is a wide and ethereal sound
that can add a nice touch of space to your mix.

The most obvious characteristic of a Reverb is how long it lasts. This is referred to as the Reverb Time and is the only
adjustable parameter in Torq’s Reverb effect.

Mix Knob and Routing Button
When the neighboring Routing button is set to Send mode, the Mix knob will set the amount of signal fed into
the Reverb processor. This signal will then be blended with the original signal from the Deck, making it sound like
the Reverb was added to the song.

When the Routing button is set to Insert mode, the Mix knob will adjust the Dry/Wet balance of the Reverb.
The difference is that the audio generated by the Reverb will replace the original song as you turn this knob up.

By default, the Reverb effect will load with the Routing button set to Send mode since this is the typical way to
use a Reverb. However, feel free to experiment with Insert mode—you can create ambient textures that can be
interesting to blend into your mix.

Tweak Knob
This knob controls the Reverb time. When fully counterclockwise, the Reverb will be extremely short, similar to
the sound heard in a small shower stall. As you turn this knob clockwise, the Reverb will become longer until it
sounds similar to a huge cathedral.

Tweak Button
Pressing this button will “freeze” the Reverb. When activated, the Reverb will stop accepting audio input from
the Deck and will feed back on itself instead. The result is a reverb that “hangs” or “stalls” indefinitely. When you
turn Freeze off, the Reverb will begin accepting input signals again, and the current “frozen” reverb will fade away
following the current Reverb Time. This can be another interesting way to fill up space during a break or to add
emphasis to a hit in the song.
