United Plugins has announced SounDevice Digital’s Biverb plug-in, offering two independent reverbs with ‘unparalleled flexibility and creative control’.
Biverb’s Crossover options comprise Left/Right, which splits the signal in a traditional way such that users can apply Reverb 1 to the left channel and Reverb 2 to the right; Mid/Side, which splits the signal into the centre (mid) and left and right (side) allowing different processes to be applied to different audio areas.
Low/High processes different frequency ranges anchored around an adjustable frequency set by the Crossover control to apply different reverbs to the low and high frequencies; and Quiet/Lound, which splits audio at a certain loudness level (also set by the Crossover control) so that the two reverb processors independently work on quieter and louder audio, a feature unique to the Biverb plug-in.
Biverb boasts dual ducking controls, helping a clean signal to push through without losing punch and attack by lowering the wet signal level automatically whenever a new dry signal arrives at the plug-in’s input. Further flexibility for each reverb comes courtesy of associated Time, which determines how fast the wet signal level will get to its original state, and Filter, where HP (high-pass) determines the minimal frequency of the signal going to the reverb, while LP (low-pass) determines the maximal frequency of the signal sent to the reverb ‘unit’ controls.
Duality continues with Reverb 1 and Reverb 2 including identical Modulation 1 and Modulation 2 sections, offering control over modulation Level, Rate (speed) of the modulation section oscillators, and Dispersion. Sometimes the difference between those two reverb ‘units’ might only involve a subtle change in one of those latter settings.
The plug-in employs internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate192kHz or higher. Its photorealistic yet flexible (resizable) nature of its GUI creates the feel of working with real hardware as opposed to a virtual effect plug-in.
SounDevice Digital’s Biverb is available to purchase at €79.00 as an AAX, AU, VST, and VST3-compatible plug-in (using internal 64-bit audio processing capable of handling any sample rate).
