Reverb
Also called “reverberation,” this refers to the sound energy 
remaining in a room or closed space after the original 
sound stops. Similar to yet different from echo, reverb is the 
indirect, diffuse sound of reflections from the walls and 
ceiling that accompany the direct sound. The 
characteristics of this indirect sound depends on the size 
of the room or space and the materials and furnishings in 
the room. Reverb Effect types use digital signal processing 
to simulate these characteristics.
