Quasar (Reverb)

Quasar Device

Essentials

Quasar is a versatile reverb with Pre-delay, Decay, Damping, filtering, modulation, and mix—great for subtle rooms to vast atmospheres. Creates echoes of sound, imitating how sound behaves in physical spaces.

  • Pre-delay, decay, and damping controls

  • Filtering and modulation

  • Mix control for wet/dry balance

  • From subtle rooms to vast atmospheres

Main

Quasar Main

Pre-delay

Time before the reverb tail starts (0-1000 ms)

Decay

Controls the decay duration of the plate reverb tail (0-100%). 0 = maximum decay time, 100% = minimum decay time

Damping

Dampening factor of the plate decay (0-100%). 100% = maximum dampening, 0% = minimum dampening. Restricts the vibration of the plate

Diffuse

Quasar Diffuse

Input

The first of two diffusion parameters that “diffuses” the input signal across time (-100 to 100%)

Tank

The second of two diffusion parameters that “diffuses” the input signal across time (-100 to 100%)

Filters

Quasar Filters

HPF

Highpass filter frequency, removes low frequencies (20-20000 Hz). Applied to the signal after the pre-delay

LPF

Lowpass filter frequency, removes high frequencies (20-20000 Hz). Applied to the signal after the pre-delay

Slope

Filter slope:

  • 12 dB/Octave: 12 dB per octave

  • 24 dB/Octave: 24 dB per octave

  • 36 dB/Octave: 36 dB per octave

  • 48 dB/Octave: 48 dB per octave

Vibrato

Quasar Vibrato

Amount

Depth of the vibrato (0-100%). 0% = no vibrato, 100% = maximum vibrato. Creates a “flutter” effect on the reverb tail

Frequency

Frequency of the vibrato (0.01-20 Hz)

Output

Quasar Output

Dry

Gain factor for the dry signal (not affected by reverb). Equivalent to a dB range of -∞ to 0 dB (0-100%)

Wet

Gain factor for the wet (reverberated) signal. Equivalent to a dB range of -∞ to 0 dB (0-100%)

On/Off

Activates or bypasses the effect

Practical Tips

Practical Tips

  • Use Pre-delay for rhythmic separation.

  • Use HPF to keep the low end clean.

  • Increase Decay and Vibrato Amount for ethereal spaces.

  • Automate Wet/Dry for creative transitions.
