What Verberate 2 does
Version 2 introduces the Vivid Hall algorithm, which adds time variance to the late tail so that the reverb avoids the stiffness the developer associates with earlier hall models. The variations are meant to mimic air currents and moving performers in a real room, and they are modeled without chorus-like artifacts. Legacy Hall remains available as the second late reverb algorithm, and the two can be chosen as different late reverb models. Early reflections are handled by a separate processor from the reverb tail, which lets the early part and the tail be shaped independently. The developer states that the early reflections blend into the mix without comb filter effects.
The plugin offers 15 early reflection patterns that are calculated in real time and applied using convolution, and it processes in true stereo. Dispersion and Swirl add mechanical plate simulation and a frequency-modulated, cloud-like tail typical of vintage digital reverbs. The release ships as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS. Apple Silicon is listed as natively supported. A large set of factory presets is included, and the bundled manager can save, load and categorize user presets. Pro Tools is the host named by the developer.
Key features
- Vivid Hall and Legacy Hall algorithms. Two different late reverb algorithms are offered. Vivid Hall adds time-variant behavior to the tail, and Legacy Hall is the earlier hall model kept in the plugin.
- Independent early and tail processing. Early reflections and the reverberation tail each have their own processor, so the two parts of the reverb can be shaped separately.
- True stereo processing. The reverb runs as true stereo, with early reflections and late tails handled in both channels.
- Frequency-dependent decay editor. A graphical equalizer style editor shows the frequency response and sets a different reverberation time for each frequency band, which is used to sculpt the tail.
- Dispersion and Swirl parameters. Dispersion models the frequency dispersion of mechanical plate reverbs, where high frequencies travel faster than low frequencies. Swirl adds the frequency-modulated feedback character of vintage digital reverbs and is optional.
- Uncluttered interface. The user interface is laid out without extra panels, and the developer describes it as clear and to the point.
Compatibility
Pro Tools is named as the host by the developer. The plugin requires 1 GB of RAM.
