Dial in a subtle Mix — 10-15 % is typical for voice¶

The Mix knob controls the dry/wet balance of the Aetherial FreeVerb reverb on your transmitted audio. Keeping Mix in the 10–15 % range adds a light sense of space without making your voice sound processed or distant.

Before you start¶

The Reverb stage must be enabled in the CHAIN widget. The "Aetherial FreeVerb" sub-container is hidden until the stage is active.
You can adjust Mix from either the compact applet row inside the Aetherial Audio (TXDSP) container or from the floating "Aetherial FreeVerb — TX" editor.

Steps¶

Open the floating editor by double-clicking the VERB stage in the CHAIN widget. The editor titled "Aetherial FreeVerb — TX" appears.
Locate the Mix knob — the rightmost of the five knobs in the editor row.
Turn Mix to your target value. The knob label updates in real time, displayed as a percentage (for example, 15 %). You can also click the value text and type a numeric value directly — press Enter or click elsewhere to commit.
For voice, set Mix between 10 % and 15 %. Lower values blend in less reverb tail; higher values make the effect more prominent.
Close the editor or leave it open. The value is saved immediately.

What each control does¶

Label	Default	Valid range	Notes
Mix	15 %	0–100 % (0.0 to 1.0)	Linear mapping. Dry / wet balance.
Size	50 %	0–100 % (0.0 to 1.0)	Linear mapping. Sets the modelled room size.
Decay	1.20 s	0.3 to 5.0 s	Exponential mapping (0.3 * (5.0/0.3)^n, ~16.7x). Sets the reverb tail length.
Damp	50 %	0–100 % (0.0 to 1.0)	Linear mapping. Higher values damp high frequencies faster in the tail.
Pre	20 ms	0 to 100 ms	Linear mapping. Pre-delay between the dry signal and the first reflections.
Reverb visualisation	ReverbVizBox — live visualisation showing the dry sine packet (cyan), first-order reflections (yellow), and reverberant tail (magenta). All five knob values feed the rendering so the display follows knob edits in real time. 90 px tall.	Replaces the curve widget used by other DSP applets. Rendering algorithm matches StripReverbPanel::GridBox.

Inline value editing¶

v26.5.2.1 adds inline value editing to all knob controls in the "Aetherial FreeVerb — TX" editor. Click the numeric value displayed below a knob to open a text input field. Type a new value and press Enter, or click anywhere outside the editor, to commit the change. The value is clamped to the knob's valid range automatically.

To cancel an edit, press the Escape key before committing. The knob reverts to its previous value.

Live visualisation¶

v0.9.7 adds a small reverb visualisation inside the "Aetherial FreeVerb — TX" editor. It appears as a 90-pixel-tall waveform display above the knob row and updates in real time as you turn any knob.

The display uses three colour-coded layers:

Colour	What it represents
Cyan	Dry signal — a sine packet that fades toward the right as Mix increases.
Yellow	First-order reflections — short bursts whose spacing widens with Size and whose amplitude falls off with Damp.
Magenta	Reverberant tail — an exponentially decaying oscillation whose length tracks Decay and whose onset position tracks Pre.

The visualisation is read-only. It does not add or remove any processing; it reflects the current knob values only. The layout algorithm matches the reverb panel on the strip side, so the two views read consistently when both are open at the same time.

Knob colour theming¶

v26.6.1 introduces per-applet knob colour theming for the reverb applet. The reverb container registers as applet/reverb with the theme engine, allowing a theme file to assign distinct colours to the reverb knobs independent of other applet knobs.

Knob colours are drawn from the color.knob.* namespace in the theme: - color.knob.background — the ring behind the value arc. - color.knob.foreground — the filled arc showing the current value. - color.knob.handle — the pointer line drawn from the ring centre to the arc endpoint. - color.text.primary — the value text below the knob. - color.text.secondary — the knob label above the ring.

All five knobs in the "Aetherial FreeVerb — TX" editor use the same thematic colours. To apply a custom colour scheme, see Custom themes.

Tips¶

The default Mix value is 15 %, which is already within the typical voice range. If you reset the knob to default, it returns to 15 %.
Both the compact applet knob and the floating editor knob stay in sync. Changes made in one are reflected in the other within approximately 33 ms.
Mix at 0 % passes only dry signal; the reverb stage is still active but inaudible. To remove it from the processing chain entirely, see Bypass reverb from the chain.
Use the live visualisation to get a quick read on how Decay and Damp interact: a long, bright tail in the display corresponds to a long, high-frequency-rich reverb in the transmitted audio.
Inline editing supports both dot-decimal and comma-decimal number formats. For example, entering 1,5 and 1.5 both produce the same value on systems configured for European decimal notation.
