Rotating the Time control controls the decay time of the selected reverb model from its minimum decay time to its maximum decay time. At 0%, the decay time will be at minimum and will simulate the smallest room size available to the currently selected reverb type. At 100%, the decay time will be at maximum and will simulate the largest room size available to the currently selected reverb type. Each reverb type has their own usable range of decay times that work best for the selected model type. The Reverb Decay parameter allows you to adjust the reverb time between the specific ranges that work best for the selected reverb model type.
- (T4S/T8S only) Press the Time control to switch to Bal. Rotate the Bal. control to adjust the early-to-late reflection ratio (0% = all early reflections, 100% = all late reflections).

- Note
- The Time settings are different from the T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine. If you are trying to get the same results as you had with a T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine you will have to increase the Time and Balance settings on T4S/T8S. Start with doubling the values for Time and Balance and tune by ear.
