Modern algorithmic reverb
Features
• Four unique, flexible reverb modes – Velvet Room, Hall Effect, Plate Glass, and Dark Energy (described below)
• Far-reaching control sweeps, from natural room sounds, to swirling soundscapes, to warbling resonances, to otherworldly washes
• Larger-than-life stereo field impression, superwide responses to all input signals
• Smooth, lively detuning and chorusing
• Fine-grained control of reverb frequency response
• Reverb ducking to get out of the way of the input signal
• GPU-accelerated stereo field visualizer
• Built-in presets to get you started
Reverb Modes
Velvet Room
• The sound Velvetverb was created to make
• Maximally decorrelated signals in each ear
• Strong detuning modulation to break up resonances
• Flexible, can sound great on just about any signal
• Great for widening and livening up nairow, static signals like synths and electric guitars
Hall Effect
• Slower echo density buildup, like a concert hall
• Weaker detuning modulation, more like the real world
• Twice as many delay elements as Velvet Room
• Great for natural, organic sounds like pianos, stringed instruments, strong vocals
Plate Glass
• Near-instantaneous echo density buildup – short main delays and immediate early reflections
• Hard high-frequency rolloff
• Diffuse allpass-based early reflections
• Vintage-inspired sounds, but with the width and lively chorusing of Velvet Room
• Great on drums, distorted guitars, whole mixes
Dark Energy
• Unusual, experimental reverb, not based on our reality
• Absorbs the input signal and releases it back slowly, for an evolving tail
• “Size” parameter controls echo fade-in time
• Interacts heavily with the shelf controls – try extreme settings for very unnatural echoes
