I'm pleased to announce the release of a new reverb from LiquidSonics. Coming in a regular and professional version, Seventh Heaven is the most advanced Fusion-IR reverb ever. By combining the realism of Fusion-IR with an extensive multi-sampling of the Bricasti M7, Seventh Heaven combines the quality of a modulated sampled reverb with the flexibility of an algorithmic reverb.
By focusing specifically on the Bricasti M7 in terms of its sound and features - with all new samples and a custom UI - it's the closest yet sonically and in terms of the experience of using the actual M7 that's ever been available in the box.
While Reverberate 2 remains the most flexible general purpose convolution reverb around, tailoring this plugin to the hardware allows things to be done that were impossible to do before that make the experience more authentic as soon as you want to move away from the default presets positions. It includes freedom to edit to decay lengths (200ms to 30 seconds) / darken & brightening of early & late roll-off filters (sounding just like on the hardware) / proper pre-delay editing (inc tempo sync, and showing/editing a preset's inherent pre-delay) / great M7 style late reverb delay (including sync and editing any preset's existing delay) / early reflection selection for flexible source/reverb placement and low frequency reverb level control (the low reverb component plays a big role in the M7's sound especially on shorter reverbs).
Subtle things like how the low freq reverb doesn't follow decay time linearly, how the early/late/low reverbs all respond differently to pre-delay, how size/density/diffusion shapes are affected by decay time, that all gets special attention here for a much more authentic and crucially more musical reverb experience as you would expect from an algorithmic reverb. It's all achieved with a big increase in Fusion-IR multi-sampling in a device-focused way with clever capture interpolation (disk footprint is slightly under that of the existing Fusion-IRs thanks to some very powerful lossless compression and data management).
Full details about it can be found on the Seventh Heaven and Seventh Heaven Professional product pages, and I'll be happy to answer questions here too.
It requires iLok and I am aware some of you may not be thrilled about this, but the reason is the significant amount of piracy of Reverberate 2 and the subsequent pressure to serve 10GB+ samples to people not contributing to the business puts a lot of pressure on for data distribution so I am trying to reduce the effect of piracy for the new release. Crackers hack the plugins and then point to the .com for the Fusion-IRs, and that can't continue for a release like this even despite a very significant (and costly) server upgrade recently to keep up with demand. Also it will assist with license transfer and refunds if those are needed, it is hard to really do that on a license file that can't be revoked. (No changes to Reverberate 2 licensing is planned).
There are some video demos with descriptions to show off the new features on the Facebook page, and some high quality audio demos online too.
It's available to demo, and intro discounts (including extra discounts for Reverberate 2 users looking at the pro version) are now available.
