What Reviver does
The signal is first divided by a multiband splitter that is described as flat when summed back together, so the bands can be processed without changing the overall balance. Each band runs its own detection circuit tuned to its frequency range, and the low module is set up to reinforce punch and thump in drums and bass while keeping the character of the source.
The mid and high modules each hold two dynamic, variable transient shaper algorithms, and a set of three even saturation algorithms adds presence and warmth to any material. Oversampling is engaged to limit aliasing, and a light and a dark mode give two tonal directions.
Key features
- Flat-summing multiband splitter. The splitter divides the spectrum into bands that are described as flat when recombined, so each module works on its own range without coloring the sum.
- Low module. The low module reinforces punch and impact in the low end while leaving the sustain of the source material intact.
- Mid and high transient shapers. The mid and high modules each contain two dynamic, variable transient shaper algorithms that adjust attack and body in their ranges.
- Light and dark modes. Both light and dark modes are provided to choose between two tonal characters.
- Oversampling. Oversampling is engaged to limit aliasing and keep the integrity of the original signal.
