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.
