Cableguys have released their latest ShaperBox effect, ReverbShaper, described as a "rhythmic space machine with advanced ducking". The company have also launched a Black Friday Sale on the full ShaperBox 3 Bundle.
Here's what they say:
ReverbShaper unlocks the hidden rhythm of reverb, putting your sounds inside amazing spaces that move, groove and flow along with your music – never static, but dynamic and alive.
Explore 127 reverb spaces – or import your own impulses. Design any reverb pattern with drawable LFOs. Duck the reverb by envelopes or transients with amazing precision – or use the envelope like a gate to control what gets sent into the reverb. Reset reverb tails for clarity. Go full multiband with 3 separate reverbs. And get inspired with 100+ presets from professional sound designers Yoad Nevo, Solidtrax, InsideInfo, Cyclick, Andi Vax, Earworm and Ed Ten Eyck.
ReverbShaper offers 127 reverb types, from rooms and halls to vintage plates, ambiences, old-school spring units, and classic gated 'verbs. A selection of more experimental metallic resonances, slapbacks, swells and more are also on offer. Custom impulse responses can also be imported or choose from over 100 presets.
Volume and Send levels can be animated over time with Cableguys' LFO drawing tools. Shapes can be edited with the Pointer tool, Wave Presets, Pens, Smooth control, and more.
The reverb can be precisely focused using Cableguys' flexible modulation. The famous ducked reverb effect in can be done in a single click for ambience that moves out of the way of vocals and instruments automatically, keeping them up-front and clear. The drawable LFOs can trigger a custom ducking curve from transients, or otherwise be used to create rhythmic reverb patterns.
Enabling of the innovative Clear Tails mode allows for taming of large reverbs as and the reverb buffer resets every time the LFO reaches its minimum point preventing long tails from reappearing once silenced.
Multiband control is also provided over three frequency bands. Use it as a high/low-cut filter to avoid low-end rumble on drums and bass, exclude vocal sibilance, and add ambience to only specific frequencies in a loop, or combine up to 3 separate reverbs with fully independent settings per band.
ReverbShaper runs in Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin. It can be used on its own, or combined with Time, Drive, Noise, Filter, Liquid, Crush, Volume, Pan and Width Shapers for multilayered effects. ReverbShaper can also be purchased separately — or for a saving of 73% when purchasing all 10 Shapers in the ShaperBox 3 Bundle, on sale now for Black Friday.
