Patent ID: 7561699

Claim:
A method for controlling a reverberation block to simulate the acoustic effects of a change in room size, the reverberation block comprising an early reflections module and a reverberation module and the method comprising: in the early reflections module, controlling an intensity of early reflections responsive to a reflection_intensity parameter; and controlling a delay of a first reflection relative to a direct path responsive to a reflection_delay parameter; in the reverberation module, controlling an intensity of a late reverberation signal responsive to a reverb_intensity parameter; controlling a delay of the late reverberation signal relative to a first reflection or to the direct path responsive to a reverb_delay parameter; and controlling a rate of decay of the late reverberation signal responsive to a reverb_decay parameter; changing a room_size parameter by a selected factor; and in response to the changed room_size parameter, changing a magnitude of at least one of the reflection_delay, reverb_delay and reverb_decay parameters by a magnitude determined by the selected factor; and changing a magnitude of at least one of reflection_intensity and reverb_intensity parameters by a magnitude determined by the selected factor.
