Re: [fluid-dev] [FS reverb level sounds]

Hi David,

 

"(Hmm, this one didn't go to the list?)"

 

dunno why. I always press Reply.

 

"So if the base reverb level is 100% then CC91 level does not make a
difference as we cannot go above 100%."

 

That's the point. If I set the "base reverb level" in the soundfonts to 100%, the FS reverb level should not operate anything.

 

Lets see the soundfonts as the master and the FS reverb level as the slave.

 

I limit usage of reverb in the soundfonts, by setting the "base level reverb" amount to, e. g. 20%.

Then those 20% should have been seen as 100% work area, for CC91 - I'd assume?

If I turn FS reverb level to 0, there should be zero effect. If I turn the FS reverb level to 100%, this shall operate the amount I limited in the soundfonts.

 

Do I understand this model right?

 

Regards

Bernd.

On a scale between 0% and 100%, the reverb level is calculated as follow's:

  - The base level (or "default reverb level", or whatever it is called,
not sure), which is set in the soundfont and can be anything from 0% to 100%
  - Add to that the CC91 level. That normally adds up to 20% (for CC91 =
127), but that scale can be overridden by the soundfont as well.

So if the base reverb level is 100% then CC91 level does not make a
difference as we cannot go above 100%.
