    <para>
      <emphasis>iskip</emphasis> (optional, default=0) -- initial disposition of delay-loop data space (cf. <link linkend="reson"><citetitle>reson</citetitle></link>). The default value is 0.

    <title>Performance</title>
    <para>
      <emphasis>krvt</emphasis> -- the reverberation time (defined as the time in seconds for a signal to decay to 1/1000, or 60dB down from its original amplitude).
    </para>

    <para>
      <emphasis>xlpt</emphasis> -- variable loop time in seconds, same as <emphasis>ilpt</emphasis> in <emphasis>comb</emphasis>.  Loop time can be as large as <emphasis>imaxlpt</emphasis>.
    </para>

    <para>
      This filter reiterates input with an echo density determined by loop time <emphasis>ilpt</emphasis>. The attenuation rate is independent and is determined by <emphasis>krvt</emphasis>, the reverberation time (defined as the time in seconds for a signal to decay to 1/1000, or 60dB down from its original amplitude). Output will appear only after <emphasis>ilpt</emphasis> seconds.
