convolution reverb
LiquidSonics' Reverberate is a highly efficient convolution audio processor offering true zero-latency operation for two separate, stereo impulse responses.
Reverberate seeks to provide a richer and more dynamic sounding reverb from impulse responses by optionally modulating an amalgamation of two, separately controllable IRs using an LFO. Further modulation is possible using the post-processing effects; an all-pass interpolator chorus provides a fuller sound and an over-sampled analogue prototype paragraphic equaliser is provided with dual LFOs. These features make for a livelier sound than typically associated with some convolution reverbs, at a very competitive price.
Features and Specifications:
* Stereo convolution reverb
* Dual IR for true-stereo capability
* Zero latency (or select up to 8192 samples latency)
* Wav, Aiff and Flac support
* ADSHR envelopes
* 50%-150% stretch
* Double oversampled IR-EQ
* Pre-delay up to 500ms
* Linear-interpolation chorus
* Post EQ with LFO modulation

Windows XP |
(VST) |
May 7, 2010 |

Version 1.410 |
Windows XP |
(VST) |
Apr 14, 2010 |
- All: Added a new modulation capability to IR1's EQ and IR2's EQ to allow start-end sliding EQ configurations for changing the frequency and gain of all 5 bands of equalisation independently.

 |
Version 1.402 |
Windows XP |
(VST) |
Feb 28, 2010 |
- All: Added a stereo to mono conversion capability for the IR1, IR2 and Master mixer sections (accessed via topology view).

- All: Upon detection of the first run of Reverberate under the VST-RTAS wrapper a dialogue is shown to recommend reducing the host processors to one below the maximum (this increases performance of multi-threaded VST plug-ins under PT).
- OS X: AU has reduced CPU consumption when operating in non-zero latency modes.
- OS X: Further changes to fix an installer permissions fault.
 |
Version 1.401 |
Windows XP |

Feb 22, 2010 |
- All: An option to chain output of IR1 into IR2 has been added into the mixer.

- OS X: AU now supports delay compensated increased latency modes for CPU conservation.
 |
Version 1.400 |
Windows XP |
(VST) |
Feb 16, 2010 |

 |
Version 1.250 |
Windows XP |
(VST) |
Jan 8, 2010 |
- All: Added function to down-sample the plug-in when running above 48 kHz to reduce CPU consumption in hosts running at high sample rates.
- All: Sample rate independence mode added so that moving between sample rates in hosts does not change the IR gain and filtering characteristics of Reverberate. When this mode is set (as is now the default) IR gain is independent of the host sample rate, and the filters are limited to a maximum frequency of 22 kHz rather than being set as the Nyquist of the sample rate. A compatibility mode is available (see 'Settings', 'Sample Rate Dependence', 'Host Rate Dependent') for users with presets or songs used with sample rates other than 44.1 kHz that may now change when running in the default 'Host Rate Independent' mode.
- All: The core convolver now more evenly distributes CPU load where projects have multiple instances of Reverberate loaded concurrently. This is especially noticeable in high sample rate projects with multiple instances of Reverberate loaded.
- All: VU meters now only show as red when the audio is above 0dBFS.
- PC: Support for Aiff files in .aiff format extensions (as opposed to just *.aif) in IR open dialog box.
- OS X: IR navigation buttons now correctly function with aiff files.
 |
Version 1.240 |
Windows XP |
(VST) |
Dec 13, 2009 |
- All: Added additional modulation options into the IR mixer to facilitate modulation of the balance of the wet IR1 and IR2 signals. A phase control is provided to allow modulation of the IRs to be set relative to each other's position in the modulation cycle.
- All: Factory presets modified to take advantage of the new pan modulation capabilities.
- All: Fixed an issue with auto pairing if L, R, and C files are present in the same directory.
- All: The contrast on the grey navigation and eject buttons has been increased.
- OS X AU and VST: Fixed an issue where truncated OS X long file names were causing left/right navigation buttons to fail in some cases.
- OS X AU: Since AU hosts do not support loading FXB files, the AU now includes an option to load an FXB bank from the settings tab's bank/preset options menu (note the updated preset names do not propagate through to the host's preset lists). Furthermore, presets can now be selected via the settings tab's bank/preset options menu (AU only) to enable loaded bank files to be navigated once the preset names have changed.
- OS X AU: Work-around for PDC bug in AU implemented such that only zero latency mode is supported when running the AU plug-in.
 |
Version 1.230 |
Windows XP |
(VST) |
Dec 7, 2009 |
- All: Added 29 new true stereo presets powered by 26 new true stereo IRs bringing the total number of factory presets to 48. Many of the new presets utilise 8 channels of convolution (using IR1 and IR2 both loaded with true stereo impulse responses) providing a full, rich reverb.
