2 PRINCIPLES OF REVERBERATION

2 PrinciplesofReverberation

Artiﬁcial reverberation models tend to fall into two main types, which can best be

described as convolution and reﬂection simulation modelling. Both processes seek to

achieve a degree of realism and virtual space by modelling room characteristics. The

convolution model achieves this by recording the actual impulse response (due to

reﬂections and dispersion) of existing spaces, and imposing the resulting transfer

characteristic onto the programme to reproduce the character of the space. However this

model does not lend itself easily to the user interaction required for the artistic creation of

reverberation eﬀects that are commonly needed in production. Another important factor

is that the user cannot readily simplify a convolution model to avoid conﬂicts that often

occur between the recorded ambience and the simulated reverb.

The Sonnox Oxford Reverb belongs to the reﬂection simulation type, as this allows the

wide and varied user control intended from this device, in the pursuit of a high degree of

artistic interaction and creative freedom.
