I need a reverb that allows for pitchshifting of the reverb tail. I have Shimmer but it isn’t working for me so am looking for alternatives.

BTW, I can’t simply add a pitchshift plug after the reverb because that is a fixed pitch rather than a fade down (unless I automate it).

I can recommend TB-Reverb 4. Sounds nice, and it does what you ask.

Toneboosters Reverb 4

Replika XT (is a "delay" effect but includes a diffusion mode and pitch shifter effect that can be enabled simultaneously)

Thanks guys will check TB Reverb 4 out.

I do have Replica XT also so will check that first.

GrainSpace, Xenoverb, EchoBode.

Are you looking for control on the pitch shift or for a standard shimmer effect ? If you're only looking for a shimmer effect, then maybe this reverb would work for you, its shimmer effect is absolutely superb :

I’m not interested in a shimmer effect. I simply want the reverb tail to pitch down one or two octaves.

Thanks. I have Echobode but it is a frequency shifter not a pitch shifter. That said I should give it another shot because I do love it.

If Live is your DAW can do this with any reverb and pitch shifter. Put the reverb on a send and the pitch shifter on another. Send the reverb to the pitch shifter and the pitch shifter back to the reverb.

There might be other DAWs that allow mixer feedback loops like this (Bitwig maybe?). I just know of Live as it's my main.

Reaper also allows feedback loops, but it's disabled by default on account of the risk it presents to inexperienced users; you can switch it on from the mixing preferences.

Thanks but wouldn't this result in the reverb being at a fixed pitch still? I want the pitch to drop slowly after each hit.

The reverb will be pitched down each time it passes through the pitch shifter.

original pitch -> pitch shifter -> original -1
original -1 -> pitch shifter -> original -2
original -2 -> pitch shifter -> original -3

Ah gotcha, I can certainly have some fun with that routing

Looking for reverb with pitchshift other than Valhalla Shimmer
