1. AudioUnits This format theoretically allows having one plug in build that works for any channel count However in some hosts the ability of a plug in to have more than two channels will prevent using multi mono instances for multi channel scenarios Also some hosts are not capable of inserting multi mono instances to create a multi channel instance Hence we need two separate plug ins to cater for all scenarios The advantage of multi mono is that it allows you to have separate settings for the individual channels VST 2 4 The VST 2 4 standard allows plug ins to have a large number of channels under the hood but activating only the number actually required by the channelstrip bus the plug in is inserted into However some hosts will always activate all the under the hood channels regardless of whether they are needed or not This results in a very large CPU overhead if all you want to do is process one or two channels Also VST 2 4 does not easily allow using multi mono instances for multi channel use Hence it makes sense to have separate mono stereo and 8 channel versions of the plug in RTAS amp AAX RTAS and AAX allow using plug ins in multi mono configurations under all circumstances As using multi mono is actually preferable as ProTools is able to run the multi mono channels on separate cores these formats need only one plug in build In ProTools the AAX plug in allows being used as AudioSuite for offline processing inclu2. able to separate reverb without applying the process to the entire signal at once As an analogy think of this as the number of bands less bands mean less control but less artifacts more bands give more control but more potential for artifacts t REFRACT determines the refractory time for the analysis network or how long the algorithm thinks about what it has heard before reacting Shorter values will cause the analysis to be more sensitive to signal changes but might affect short term oscillations such as noise in a way that sounds artificial If you increase the refractory time the overall sound of the de reverberated signal usually improves but some of the reverb reflections might return We recommend you start out at a zero value and increase as needed t ADAPTATION PRESENCE UNVEIL 18 User Manual v 1 5 A zynaptiq This determines the adaptation time of the analysis network forgetting factor The setting of this parameter should be approximately equal to the reverb tail length of the signal You can get an idea of how to set this parameter by visually comparing the related decay curve in the display to the amplitude decay of the input signal If the steepness looks similar you re good Release Time is a suitable analogy to get the idea of this control though technically it is very different If the adaptation time is lower than the reverb tail time of the reverberated signal you will hear some reverb

4. information to the signal As a pattern recognition based algorithm that de mixes the signal it has the advantage of not requiring stereo information to determine room reflections from the signal Therefore it can be applied to mono and stereo even surround channel configurations with equal ease and success Also since it does not use Fourier transform based filtering it does its magic with a minimum of side effects keeping your signal crisp clean and transparent NOTE that UNVEIL is designed to leave discrete echoes untouched Feedback delay is often a relevant part of a composition and should thus be considered as part of the signal rather than as reverb UNVEIL comes with a number of parameters that allow tweaking its basic properties to work well with a variety of signals User Manual v 1 5 FOCUS UNVEIL 16 User Manual v 1 5 A zynaptiq The FOCUS parameter controls the overall signal focusing or reverb attenuation boost Essentially it is a cross fade between reverb mud and the direct foreground signal Higher values remove reverb and mud from the signal lower values add reverb by attenuating the direct incident signal Center has no effect and leaves the signal unchanged For best results we recommend setting FOCUS to its highest value while adjusting the other parameters so their effects become immediately apparent then backing of FOCUS as needed CTRL Click sets this parame
