#### Description
# Learn how to use Autodafe's Reverb module

Reverb is a very important effect when synthesizing sound. Reverb provides an ambient sound to your patches. There are a variety of reverb modules available to you with an infinite number of sound combinations. 

Autodafe provides us with a simple Reverb module. It provides one simple ambient timbre which you can apply to you patches. It sounds like this module is emulating a plate reverb effect.

There are only two controls on this Reverb module: Time and Dry/Wet. Time is the amount of time it will take for the ambient sound to fade away to silence. The Dry/Wet selection is the ration between the amount of original to effected sound you hear in the OUT. 


# What is waveform phasing.

Consider that when a waveform starts its cycle its start is at zero on a time scale. If we duplicate the waveform and play it at the same time as the first there will be little change in the timbre of the sound. If we take the new waveform and delay it by a millisecond or so and play both again the sounds will be phased. They will sound 'wobbly.' This is phasing. A Phase module will not just put the two waveforms out of phase but it will move them gradually in and out of phase in a cycle. 


# How to use Autodafe's Phaser module and what is the purpose of Feedback and Depth. 

Autodafe's Phaser module is very simple to use. There are three controls: Rate, Feedback, and Depth. Rate refers to the speed that the Phaser goes through its cycle of bringing the waveforms in and out of phase. Depth is the amount that the Phaser put them out of phase. With the Feedback control, Phaser introduces a specified amount of the new signal it has created back into the mix.

In the video tutorial I go into great detail on how phasing works. I demonstrate how the interaction between the initial wave and the effected wave create something new. The amount of Feedback and Depth can have great impact on the sound produced. As with any effect, exploration is important. Use Phaser on some of your projects and see how it fits into your music.
