Space

The SPACE tab holds the late tail, a feedback delay network: a set of delay lines whose outputs are mixed and fed back into every line, so that each echo seeds the next and the echo density keeps rising as the tail decays. The lines’ lengths follow the active shape on the DENSIFICATION tab, so changing profile changes the tail too. On a stereo output the Space MIX crossfades from the signal entering the stage to the tail. On a multichannel output it sets the level of the Space object. See Signal Chain.

ENGINE

T60 BANDS

Open [+] T60 BANDS (EXPERT view). The tail decays at three rates, one per band. size sets the mid band; low and high set the outer bands on their own.

DIFFUSER

Open [+] DIFFUSER (EXPERT view). A nested allpass chain between the pre-delay and the delay lines smooths the onset of the tail.

MODULATION

Open [+] MODULATION (EXPERT view). Each delay line’s length moves slowly, at its own rate between half and all of rate, so the tail’s modes do not ring as metallic sweeps.

MATRIX

The colorless toggle under [+] MATRIX swaps in a different mix between the lines that gives a flatter, less coloured tail. It acts at Low and Medium density only (16 and 32 lines), does nothing at High and Maximum, and is off by default. Flipping it rebuilds the network with a crossfade.

REFERENCE

The [+] REFERENCE panel beside ENGINE (below it on a narrow window) is a printed reference for setting size and the bands. It lists typical mid-band T60 and pre-delay for 16 rooms, from an anechoic chamber to a Gothic cathedral, a logarithmic T60 scale, and absorption coefficients at 125 Hz, 500 Hz and 2 kHz for 12 materials. It does not read or change any control.

MINIMAL View

In MINIMAL the tab shows size and pre-delay with two macros: Decay Color (the band decay times and crossovers) and Motion (the modulation rate, depth and organic switch).
