Cutting off Reverb

[John LaSala]

Is there a way for a cue to cut off (abruptly end) the lingering tail of reverb from a live effect?

For example:

Track A is playing with a big reverb effect on.

A cue stops Track A, but the reverb tail lingers.

Theoretical next cue would also terminate that reverb tail, while also starting Track B.

I don't have QLab in front of me to try it out, but I want to know if it can be done, in theory.

Any ideas?!

Use an OSC cue with a custom message

/cue/{cue number}/hardStop

For all things to do with reverb and fx the answer is often contained in this
