LiquidSonics' Reverberate is a highly efficient convolution reverb 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 true stereo 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.

Press Coverage

Computer Music UK (September 2009 Edition): `Reverberate stands up to the competition in terms of sound quality, and the additional modulation options make it an absolute steal at £30.` and on the modulation: `In practice, it is very effective, and offers creative potential too`. Download the demo to try it out yourself!

Sound On Sound UK (April 2010 Edition): `Overall, I was most impressed. Affordable it may be, but Reverberate is a sophisticated product with few of the rough edges one often finds in budget software.` and `It is straightforward to use, and in its stated aim of bringing life and movement to convolution reverb, it succeeds admirably.`

Download and Demo Information

Click the link at the top right of the page to download the software. During the install process you will be given the choice between a demo or full version installation. Please evaluate the software in the demo mode before purchasing to ensure it meets your needs and that it is compatible with your system and impulse response libraries. The demo will function for 30 days; after this period audio will not be processed until you re-install using a full version key.

If you are unsure if you need the 32-bit or 64-bit version, you should probably download the 32-bit version as most operating systems and hosts' default installations are currently using 32-bit.

Presets and Impulse Responses

Reverberate is supplied with a number of presets and impulse responses in order to provide an overview of the plug-in's capabilities, but we strongly encourage you to seek additional impulse responses and experiment with Reverberate's modulation capabilities. Whilst there are many outstanding commercial DVD IR libraries there are some excellent, well respected packages available online such as those at www.rhythminmind.net (we encourage you to donate to support rhythminmind's work), www.echochamber.ch and more links at KVR.
