Stone Voices

when i downloaded the plugin it had no parameter smoothing yet. i don't know if the developer has fixed that yet. that would be cool. apart from that it's just really good. has a great sound with a dark and smooth vibe to it, almost of wooden nature.

I also got the risk message but on another (freeware) platform you get the direct link and just can place the .dll file into your VST folder. No other files needed for installing.

To the plugin itself: I usually am no big fan of ambient reverbs, as they usually sound too digitally and synthetically to me, but this one really enables some nice, more naturally and organically sounding reverb tones, than I had expected, if properly adjusted. The possible long decay time is a nice additional feature for some self oscillation or drone sounds, although usually some seconds will be the sonically better solution.

Will not replace my (not so cheap commercial) favorite reverbs, but is a nice addition to them. Definitely worth a try.

I had played with version 1 a few times, and thought it was an interesting concept and effect.
I'm glad to see that v2 builds on that, while updating the plugin to modern standards (the v1 interface was really tiny on my 4k monitor!).
A suggestion/request, would be to include a legend for the colours of the activated nodes on the sequencer. I can never remember what yellow dots mean vs blue dots, etc.

I'm giving this 5 stars mainly because 1) the freeze function is incredible 2) most other free reverbs are junk (the exception being OrilRiver) 3) the CPU load is excellent.

I still need to see if I will use this very much for routine mixing tasks, but after spending just 30 minutes with it I know for sure I'll be using this for sound design, namely making organic pads. If you use the freeze function, or even just dial the decay time up to 100, this thing will make gorgeous sounding pads out of almost anything. So far I've mainly just experimented with single sound sources (piano, tuned percussion, synths etc), but the next stage of experimentation will be to use some bussing and/or sends to create some multi-timbral pads. As someone else pointed out, this reverb does not modulate the wet signal, but honestly it sounds pretty lush anyway, and I plan to bounce these pads I make to audio and then use other FX plugs (EQ, chorus, phaser, trancegates etc) to give these pads some life and movement.

Overall, great great freebie.

This is a good one. I kept it around because the valhalla vintage verb does not have a freeze function, but over time i realised it has its own sound; ambient like it says on the tin but capable of going beyond. The is a lot of clicking and popping when changing settings but its is not a big deal really. Its better than most freeware reverbs ive tried and its capable of a variety of sounds. Definitely a well thought out plugin.

Nice verb! THANKS.

Unlike v4.0, v4.2 does not set dials when changing presets (Using Reaper v5.70).
