Reverb simulates room acoustics with decay and pre-delay
Problem: dry or lifeless reverb
Modulate amplitude and decay with velocity for percussive articulation
Problem: lifeless synth articulation
Use short reverb decay (1 second or less) for intimacy
Problem: reverb sounding too artificial or distant
Shorten bass notes with decay adjustment
Decay and sustain are interdependent
Problem: misunderstanding ADSR behavior
