Breverb Breverb

Breverb is a hi-end algorithmic reverberation plug-in that aims to faithfully recreate the sound of revered hardware reverbs while keeping CPU load very low.

Breverb comprises four different algorithms, Hall, Room, Plate and Inverse, each one accurately modeled and engineered "with no compromises in sound quality". Breverb's no frills hardware-like user interface gives you immediate control over all of the parameters, allowing you to dynamically map parameters to six assignable controllers and to store, recall and automate presets in any way you want.

Main Features:

  • 4 main Algorithms: Hall, Room, Plate and Inverse.
  • Modeled after the most sought-after hardware units.
  • Each Algorithm is engineered with no compromises in order to achieve maximum quality.
  • Full EQ section to tailor Breverb frequency response.
  • Extended Nonlinear section to forge reverberation shape.
  • "Motion" controls to add liveness and musicality.
  • Two different user interface modes: compact and hardware-like.
  • Six fully assignable hardware-like faders.
  • Full automation capability through host sequencers.
  • Very low CPU usage: 80 stereo instances opened on a Pentium 4 3GHz processor.
  • Host-sync of all rates and times.

Stability
I tried a lot of reverb plugins for PC but never found something what sounds good and has low CPU usage.
Now I own Breverb, native reverb plugin with exceptional ratio between sound quality and CPU usage.

As I said, the sound quality and CPU usage is excelent but I can not say the same about user interface which seems to be the weakness of this baby mainly the work with presets is sometimes very confusing because of small place for presets handling and reset of preset window everytime I close the plugin window. The small stereo width faders are also not the best solution. Other things are OK.
The positive difference against its competitors is that you never heard clicks and drops while changing the presets and values. Everything works like a charm.

Sound quality is very subjective thing. For me the sound of Breverb is impressive and you will never believe how fine reverb processor can sound with that low CPU consumption. The overal sound is crystal clear with big depth and uncolored tail. This crystality sometimes evokes a little bit digital feeling.
There are 4 different algos: HALL, PLATE, ROOM and INVERSE
All of them are on the same quality level and highly useful and all of them are fully editable in all possible and impossible parameters.

Customer support is excelent. I got right answer via mail in 10 minutes :)

I use Breverb more than month under Ableton Live without any crash or indication of instability.

Best

TH1 is a virtual guitar amp that delivers huge sound with flexible and intuitive control. Modeled after a wide variety of amplifiers, one of its most unusual features is its ability to "morph" between amps, so the guitar player can "build" his own personal amp. TH1's Smart Control strip is a row of 8 soft buttons, pots and switches controlling the vital parameters of the current sound. The logic beneath these devices allows the user to control more than one parameter at once. The Smart Control strip and Preset Selection can also be controlled by host automation and MIDI con...
