How does it compare with Eventide BlackHole, esp for huge, lush reverbs? Does it take more CPU than BH? Can one achieve similar results with BH?

For all you preset addicts:
Sampleconstruct aka Patchpool has a set for 11€ currently on offer.

IMO, they're quite similar. I find Blackhole is a tad darker (seems to be a Eventide thing...

UltraReverb is pretty dark too...). Comet is maybe a bit more pristine. I find they both work very well on lush, spacy pads. They do sound different, but, they're both more in the "spacy" direction.

Didn't try Comet yet on percussive sounds, but, it seems to be more of a "unnatural" sounding reverb, not so much the ultra realistic stuff. But, horses for courses.

Only one algorithm as far as i can see, but, loads of presets (also some good ones).

^^^ Thank you. The price is very tempting even though I don't need another reverb. The only thing that's holding me back is that it is NFR. Downloaded the demo 3 days back but didn't install. Kinda avoiding it

but this thread piqued my interest again.

Do you already have Black Hole? You're probably in good hands already with it and Comet, although I love it and it's stunning (I don't have Black Hole), it probably won'r bring alot on your reverb table if you have Black Hole. If you're looking for a reverb totally different than any other reverb you already have, you should check Adaptiverb from Zynatiq instead. That one, is a unique weird creature like nothing else.

Just got an email from Polyverse, dropping Comet down to $29 from the sale price of $59 on their website till November 30th at 12:00 PM PST - that was an instant buy for me - glad i waited 24 hours as i was about to pull the trigger last night.

I’m a bit surprised they did that.

Just got the $29 offer. Playing a little with it, looks promising

Please email me @ support@polyversemusic.com and I'll take care of anyone who bought Comet before the "flash" sale went live.

^ Now that is classy.

Also, very tempting offer. Not sure if I *need* another reverb, but it does sound tasty...

Damn, why did I come here! I absolutely love huge, spacey reverbs. Anytime. I am not currently making music where Comet would be very useful, but the lush sound and the glide features make it tempting.

Doesn't make sense to ask any questions about it, especially for the $29 price it is available at. Tempted to press the buy button...

Actually, I came to my senses yesterday after pitting it against Blackhole. I much prefer Blackhole's sound. Different flavors, but it didn't really give me anything I couldn't get with either Blackhole, the luscious Xenoverb (the perennial underdog) or B2. The preset glide is nice, but it's also the sort of gimmick I can't see myself using that often.
My VST folder's bloated enough as it is. If you're lacking in quality reverbs, though, this is an utter no-brainer.
