Description

ValhallaVintageVerb is a postmodern reverb plugin, inspired by the classic hardware digital reverbs of the 1970s and 1980s.

Updated to 2.1.2. Big Sur ready, signed & notarized installers for Mac, signed installers for Windows.

Features
8 true stereo reverb algorithms:

  1. Concert Hall. Based on the hall algorithms of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Huge spatial image, echo density that can be adjusted from very sparse to very dense, and lush chorusing modulation.
  2. Bright Hall. Similar to the Concert Hall algorithm, but with a brighter initial sound, and deeper and lusher modulation.
  3. Plate. Inspired by early 1980s plate algorithms. Highly diffuse, bright initial sound, high echo density, lush chorused modulation.
  4. Room. Emulates the sound of early 1980s room algorithms. Medium diffusion/early echo density, somewhat darker sound, chorused modulation.
  5. Chamber. A transparent and dense algorithm. Highly diffuse, high echo density, less coloration than Plate/Room algorithms, chorused modulation.
  6. Random Space. This generates DEEP and WIDE reverbs, with a slow attack, and more diffusion than the late 1980s algorithms that inspired it. The modulation uses internal delay randomization, to reduce metallic artifacts without the pitch change that can occur in the algorithms with chorused modulation.
  7. Chorus Space. Same as Random Space, but with the delay randomization replaced with lush chorused modulation.
  8. Ambience. Combines time varying randomized early reflections with a full-featured reverb tail, with the balance between early and late reverb controlled by the Attack knob. Useful for adding "air" to drums, vocals, and any place where a reverb should be felt but not heard.

3 color modes for dialing in the tone color and sonic artifacts of a specific reverb era:
  1. 1970s. Replicates the reduced bandwidth of the earliest digital reverberators (10 kHz maximum output frequency). Downsampled internally, to reproduce the artifacts of running at a lower sampling rate. The modulation is dark and noisy, and can produce strange and random sidebands with sustained notes. This is intentional.
  2. 1980s. Full bandwidth / sampling rate, for a brighter sound than the 1970s. The modulation is still dark and noisy, but will produce different artifacts than the 1970s mode as it is running at the full sampling rate.
  3. NOW. Full bandwidth / sampling rate. The modulation is clean and colorless, versus the funky artifacts of the 1970s/1980s modes.

The copy protection is based on a simple keyfile, and the plug-in can be installed and used on multiple computers. No dongle required, no challenge/response.

I have to say if you know your way around Valhalla Vintage Verb its tough to believe you need anything else...for electronic music anyway... I have to say tho if I was starting fresh now I'd probably take Sonsig A because its so easy to use and get a good reverb from...trying to decide whether...

ValhallaVintageVerb. Available now for OSX/Windows. $50.

We’ve just released the ValhallaVintageVerb 4.0.0 update, with two new reverb modes: Chamber1979 and Hall1984! Chamber1979 is inspired by a chamber algorithm from the late 1970s. The original design has been updated with lush & balanced modulation, a less metallic sound, and a smooth decay at all settings of the reverb time. We've also modeled...

For plates at the moment I am using the Iconic intrruments SP140 and GF240. I'd forgotton about these for a while but rediscovered them. Well worth checking out. I have UAD, Arturia and BR plates but these 2 stand out to me.
