AFAIK the reverb parameters in the D550/D50 were never publicly
documented by Roland. Dr T had an editor that made it possible to
(blindly) adjust them all. I used that editor extensively until I
understood touching a single parameter did nothing intelligible. A
comment I read some years later from someone involved in its
development (Eric Persing?) taught us that the reverb programming
nearly cost the guy who did it his job, but serendipitously the result
was astounding (for the time), and he was instead lauded for his
efforts, though nobody understood really what he had created, and also
suggested that whole groups of these "parameters" were required to
get
anything audible to happen. So if I recall correctly, Dr T learned how
to access them all, and I think it was page after page of sliders,
none of them marked, since noone knew what any one slider did. So, get
yourself an Atari 1040 (at least) or perhaps an emulator and hunt down
that Dr T editor, and you'll be all set, so to speak. Or just turn the
reverb off and use Space Designer...
