It can give a sound the quality of being performed in a large room, or apply special sound effects. While most reverbs are designed to give a sound a large room effect, a few are just effects. | ||
Reverb is created digitally through sounds called Impulse Responses, which usually sample how a space reacts to a sound. | Reverb is created digitally through sounds called Impulse Responses, which usually sample how a space reacts to a sound. | ||

*'' Church Reverb'' ― Church Reverb was added in 2022 with a sample of [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/15093 Cool172] clapping in a church, hence the name. This reverb adds an interesting dimension which could be described as hearing that instrument in a large room. | *''Church Reverb'' ― Church Reverb was added in 2022 with a sample of [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/15093 Cool172] clapping in a church, hence the name.
