eaReckon has updated BloXpander to version 1.2.2 and announced a new reverb plug-in: EAReverb - Earthy Algorithmic Reverb. A 3-part teaser is being uploaded to Youtube. Parts 1 and 2 are already available. EAReverb will be available by end of 2010. Its price is not yet announced.

EAReverb is a true stereo VST reverb plug-in for Windows. EAReverb stands for "Earthy Algorithmic Reverb". This reverb is 100% algorithmic and does not use any IR files. Early reflections are built "on-the-fly" depending on your own settings. The main "Size" parameter has an impact on both early reflections and late reverb... Switching from a size to another will immediately put your music and/or sounds in a place that matches your choice.

Then you can tweak early reflections using 5 easy parameters + 15 advanced but still comprehensive settings. Finally, you can set the late reverb so it matches your needs. "BNC" and "Warp" settings will add the extra randomness your late reverb deserves. For even more realism, you can inject some of the early reflections into the late reverb.

Most of all, EAReverb provides a natural sounding, "earthy" reverb effect. It is able to simulate the subtle reflections of a very small room as well as very large spaces. It is suitable for music and sound design.

EAReverb has been designed and "fine tuned by ear" to sound the most possible natural... Though, the plethora of parameters should be enough to place your music in a twisted environment if you really want it.

Fixed bugs and Improvements in BloXpander v1.2.2:

• Far more stable authorization process. BloXpander should not need multiple authorizations anymore.
• A new button has been added to easily clear the search box (Plugins Case).
• Subscenes can now optionally store and call plugins' state.
• More anti-virus friendly loading procedures.
• Checks for Scene Control Configuration validity on start-up.
• Using the same MIDI input port for both "Scene Control" and "Main Controller", it is now possible to assign Basic Control elements via MIDI learn (as prior 1.2.0).
• Fixed Unicode typo issues ('Rename Preset' input box).
