I came across an interesting function in Zynaptiq Adaptiverb: harmonic filtering. As far as aI understood it means, the reverb tracks the input's frequencies and only affects the harmonics of it while not reverbing "mudish" frequencies.

That's a pretty nice idea, as the reverb sounds very clear and straight in this mode while preserving a warm sound...

Here's a review (unfortunately in german, but you get the idea, if you watch the plugin and listen to the sound). Starting from 3:50...

Any chance of doing similar things with MTotalReverb?

I've been asking for similar functionality for a while, if you do a forum search for 'tonal vs noise' you'll see some discussion. The goal being to use the crossover to separate a sound into noise and tonal/sinusoidal elements. In your use case you'd apply Turbo reverb to the tonal output only. It has a whole bunch of other potential uses too though. I believe it's on the 'maybe' list.

I agree I've never had a reverb that fits more in a mix without cluttering and even is good for experimental sounds. Adaptiverb is high on cpu, that's the only con of it. First I thought I wouldn't need it but after demoing it I was quite surprised.

To be perfectly honest, I tried it 2x already, and I just don't see a point of it... To me it seems experimental only, when it comes to realisticity, it is pretty useless. I generally just dislike how it sounds, but I'll try on a full mix who knows...
Anyways it's based in spectral domain, so it's unlikely that you'd be able to do the same thing in MTurboReverb, since it works in time domain, but who knows...

I think we can just wait until noise/tonal crossover, if you manage to do it. Another great use case of the largely requested and anticipated powerful crossover addition.
You can do it Vojtech!

Adaptiverb is amazing.

In 2017 there's definitely no shortage of great "natural" and "unnaturally" good sounding reverbs: Lexicon, Valhalla, Altiverb, Slate, Relab etc. etc.

It's nice to having something unique and creative in my opinion (aside from MMultibandConvolution

).

If you don't "get" it, check some of the examples posted by the Patchpool guy, or the Zynaptic video switching between wet/dry.

Very impressive!
Sounds like a new sound world made out of cheap GM samples while maintaining clarity und punch...

My first thoughts: this is the first fx that's able to make gold out of shit

Whoa... that was close!!!
After watching the video I already started to count my money, but luckiliy I decided to get the demo first. So after demoing it for about an hour on the second look it is still a good reverb but heavily on the experimental side. If my job was making soundFX for movies it could be must-have. You can also get some very lush standard revrbs out of it, but comparing them side by side to my Pro-R and my Valhallas its all in the same ballpark.

Hopefully Vojtech will add those harmonic crossovers for the multiband modules so together with the new MTurboReverb we should be able to make something pretty similar...

Cheers,

Yes, Adaptiverb is a big bummer. I agree. Was worth its money. It sounds incredible on those long tails with high wet signal. These transitions between when the harmonics change are really innovative and what I was looking for

And yes, it can also be used experimental very easy with the expected results.

And thanks to trackfreezing in most hosts, the cpu usage doesn't matter. But they described some workarounds if you'd like to use realtime. But that's the price you have to pay for this versatile plugin and I like doing that.

Well, Adaptiverb is a spectral reverb, after all everything from Zynaptiq is spectral probably. Personally I just don't like it to be honest, but I can see the potential for some sound effects and some "ambient" pad-ish stuff. But I don't think I'll get to that soon to be honest. It's just not really interesting to me afraid. Harmonic crossovers could get one lots of creativity, but I don't think it would be the same. Anyways we'll see when I get into that.

I was thinking this might be possible by using MTR and Mspectraldynamics. Put the MSD after MTR and send the dry signal into the side chain of MSD. Have MSD dampen the reverb frequencies that aren't present in the dry signal. I haven't tried it, but it seems like it could work. Of course you might want to adjust some settings MSD so the transitions are smooth. If I'm correct and the idea works if should be easy for someone to make in MXXX once MTR is released.
