A synthesizer for generating a decorrelation signal using an input signal is operative on a plurality of subband signals, wherein a subband signal includes a sequence of at least two subband samples, the sequence of the subband samples representing a bandwidth of the subband signal, which is smaller than a bandwidth of the input signal. The synthesizer includes a filter stage for filtering each subband signal using a reverberation filter to obtain a plurality of reverberated subband signals, wherein a plurality of reverberated subband signals together represent the decorrelation signal. This decorrelation signal is used for reconstructing a signal based on a parametrically encoded stereo signal consisting of a mono signal and a coherence measure.
