AtomicReverb is a modern algorithmic room- and reverberation effect plug-in for VST 2+3 and AudioUnits.

With sophisticated algorithm design AtomicReverb give users all possibilities to create dense, smooth and natural reverb acoustic patterns with a high degree of customization.

AtomicReverb comes with a huge set of 240 predefined factory presets which are intuitively modifiable to support the maximum productivity for designing individual sound.

Realistic, not static

AtomicReverb does not use static models like convolution or impulse-response related reverb effects. Every process renders reflections like in the reality - with all its characteristics and dynamics. Simulated moving airflow realized by complex modulations will also add deep and individual reverb tails for every instance.

Halls, Rooms, Plates, Chambers, Stages, Tubes, ...

Highly configurable processing for both early-reflections and late-reverb/tail provides a maximum flexibility throughout the entire spectrum. This enhances the sonic range to produce sounds from subtle voice reverbs over impressive rooms to full and dense halls or even tubes, stages or special-FX.

For early-reflections, the most important part to describe the sound of the 'room', AtomicReverb supports a set of over 170 different predefined early-reflection signatures, which are additionally changeable in size, hardness, and resonance and spreading.

And to add more creative freedom, different algorithms for late-reverb ('reverb-tail'), interesting wall-absorption effects, complex modulations and even gated tail length (used for percussive sounds) are provided.

High quality and precision

AtomicReverb uses an internal 64-bit signal processing with optional 2x oversampling and high degree sample interpolation. Reverb tails beyond minutes will be as accurate as possible.

And even more...

AtomicReverb supports even common parameters like room-size, room-width, stereo-position, different damping parameters and a 5-channel EQ with spectrum-analyzer to design individual sound colors. Parameters like dry/wet, gain and density can be locked from changes when selecting other presets.
The A/B program comparison and preset copy/paste simplifies preset creation and sharing.

Because different presets need different calculation details, a preset additionally stores the degree of detail - and thus optimizes the needed CPU load.
High performance algorithms allows to run more than 100 plug-in instances, depending on your CPU.

Using the integrated MIDI-learn function, parameters can be assigned to MIDI controllers via your host-software.

For Windows-Systems a standalone application is included to use AtomicReverb directly as a reverb-effect through your audio-hardware.
