Reverb Space Builder

A noise burst fires every 2.5 seconds. Pick a space — closet, room, hall, cathedral — then fine-tune pre-delay, decay, damping, and dry/wet. Watch the tail length change as you adjust decay.

Triggered noise burst plays every ~2.5 seconds. Silence between hits lets you hear the reverb tail clearly.

Source burst (the dry hit) Reverb tail (the space)

Press start to begin. A burst fires every 2.5 seconds. Compare the four presets — closet's tail fades in 0.4 s, cathedral's lasts 4 s. Then fine-tune pre-delay (the gap before the reverb wash starts), damping (high-frequency rolloff in the tail), and dry/wet mix.
