Verberate 2 sets a new standard for algorithmic reverb plug-ins by offering unparalleled realism in simulating real acoustical surroundings. Building upon the success of its predecessor, Verberate 2 introduces the groundbreaking Vivid Hall algorithm, which adds time variance to avoid the static nature common in convolution-based reverbs. This innovative approach preserves the natural high-density reverb tails while delivering a sound that feels more organic and lively.
In real acoustical environments, slight variations caused by air currents, moving performers, or audience members contribute significantly to the authenticity of the reverb tail. Verberate 2’s Vivid Hall algorithm captures these subtle nuances without unwanted artifacts such as chorus effects or pitch changes, resulting in a more realistic simulation of real hall reverberation.
The addition of the Dispersion parameter allows Verberate 2 to accurately simulate mechanical plate reverbs by modeling how high frequencies travel faster than low frequencies in metal plates. Combined with the decay editor, this feature enables highly realistic plate reverb simulations. The new Swirl parameter further enhances versatility, allowing for the feedback modulation effect found in vintage digital reverb units.
The 15 early reflection patterns in Verberate 2 are calculated in real time and applied using convolution, delivering convincing room simulations with impressive depth and flexibility. These reflections seamlessly blend with a dense, resonance-free late reverb tail, creating an authentic and immersive sound experience. A comprehensive library of factory presets and an intuitive graphical user interface make it easy to achieve the perfect reverb quality for any mix.
