OVERVIEW 
There are two secons to the user interface:
• Conguraon and preset management
Conguraon and preset selecon secon
• Signal processing control secon contains all the remaining controls

Signal Flow
This chapter describes the signal path through Toraverb 2. It explains the basic components of the unit and its control parameters.
Basic modules
Internally Toraverb 2 consists of a few basic components. These correspond to the secons on the graphical user interface.
Pre-delay
Controls the delay between Dry and Reverberated signals

SIGNAL FLOW BASIC MODULES
By default Pre-delay is expressed in milliseconds and controlled in a range of 0to 500 [ms] (when Sync mode is disabled). The value can be
adjusted by dragging the mouse pointer up or down above the digits represenng the consecuve decimal posions on the display.
Sync. toggle buon:
Sync. buon
This acvates / deacvates the synchronizaon of the Pre-delay with the host applicaon tempo. When enabled, the delay is represented
as a Rhythmic value (in tempo-dependent units) consisng of Note value and Rhythmic modier. It should be noted that when this mode is
acve the Pre-delay value is controlled in a slightly dierent manner and the look of the Pre-delay display changes.

Note values
The Pre-delay’s Note value can be adjusted by dragging the mouse pointer up or down while selecng it.
Pre-delay’s Note value
We can choose one of following values; 1 Bar, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64.
Rhythmic modiers
Clicking one of available Rhythmic modiers, selects it;
Pre-delay’s Rhythmic modier
There are 3 values to choose from:
• Full – Eecve delay value is equal to set Note value.
• Tri - Eecve delay value is equal to 2/3rds the duraon of set Note value.
• Dot - Eecve delay value is equal to 3/2nds the duraon of set Note value.

Early / Late reecons secon
This secon controls the Early and Late reecons of reverb.
Early / Late secon
Switching between Early and Late tabs gives an access to parameters controlling Early and Late reecons respecvely.

Early reecons tab
This tab controls the early reecons of the reverb.
Secon controlling Early reecons’ tail
The following parameters can be selected:
• Size - Size of the room.
• Bass cut - Controls the properes of the reecng surface with respect to bass frequencies. Bass frequencies are cut below the value
selected. The range is from 0Hz to 22kHz.
• Crosstalk – Between the le and right channel delay lines
• Aenuaon - This parameter changes the characterisc of the reecng surface - it’s damping properes.
• Diusion – – Is the reecng surface’s ability to spread the echoes out. If this parameter is set to Sharp, the reecng surface is
perfectly at and does not distort reected waves. If this value is set to Smooth, the reecng surface distorts the waves and spreads
them out into dierent direcons.

• Type – There are three dierent types of EQ lter available:
• - Low-shelf
• - Bell
• - High-shelf
• Gain - Gain value for a band in range −24 dB to +24 dB.
• Freq. – EQ Frequency.
• Bandw. – Band width in range 0.5 to 4 octaves.
