Adaptiverb 60 Percent off! The world's best reverb?

[enCiphered]

Subspace is limited but sounds great and worth having.
It’s free but if you look hard enough you can pick it up from a seller here for $44 on the buy and sell pages...

This is crazy, should be reported asap if you ask me.

I think the guy thought it was only initially free, I pointed it out to him and he removed the plugin and thanked me for pointing it out.
I don’t think it’s worth taking further.

Nice move

Have it, it's great but it's not to be used like a traditional verb, this thing excels when used as a sound design FX

[pixel85]

This is purely sound design reverb heaven. It's (rather it was) CPU demanding but for a good reason. Today modern CPU can handle it easily.
I love it on pads, sfx and vocal pads

"Sound design reverb heaven" is a very apt way to describe this. It blurs the line between effect and instrument.

Thanks so much! I take it then this is a bit similar to Blackhole (which I have and like a lot). What got me interested was the adaptation to the key, so that it would be superclean and entirely mud-free. But maybe that is marketing talk only? Will try the demo but there's not much time left...

It's not just marketing talk. There's an adaptive filter of some sort (Zynaptiq are vague about how it's done) at the end of the signal chain that compares the input to the filter output and removes (or enhances, if you so desire) frequency content from the output that isn't in the input. This part of the signal flow is independent of the reverb, so you can even turn off the reverb and use the adaptive filter purely as a sound-design tool. For example, you can freeze audio in the buffer and use it for the filter, or you can quantize the adaptive filter to any notes you choose, thus making Adaptiverb act like a vocoder.

The other big sound-design part of Adaptiverb is the resynthesizer, which is at the beginning of the signal chain (before the reverb) and can also run independently from the reverb. Because of the resynthesis and adaptive filtering engines, imo you can't compare Adaptiverb to other reverbs since it does way more than just reverb. You can get amazing sounds out of it even with the reverb turned off.

I have both - they are different - I like them both as well
if you are after a super clean reverb so you can embed instruments in a realistic space then Adaptiverb is not for you, other software does this better and cheaper eg Reverberate for a convolution reverb . If you are looking for a reverb based effect with a unique sound then it might be - spend some time demo-ing it

No way is it grainy. The opposite.

But the latency kills it for me.

+1. Damn what a reverb! But with this latency, I'm out

[Buckster]

I thought the latency was just me

I like playing "live" so was a deal breaker for me

[Smapti]

There is a low-latency mode in Adaptiverb for live playing, if the latency is something that bothers you.

[MogwaiBoy]

It will increase the CPU even more though.

It's like Adaptiverb is made for CPU's not yet invented. I knew it, Zynaptiq are from the future aren't they

Very true! Meanwhile, let's hope they learn how to use the GPU to take some heat off the CPU.

Adaptiverb is a reverb that sounds different from other reverbs.
Its fantastic for Ambient, Film/Soundtrack production.
A high quality plugin.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. Will have to try it tomorrow. "You can get amazing sounds out of it even with the reverb turned off." Reminds me of iZotope's Neutrino: was it ever on?

Thanks fairlyclose! Reverberate sounds interesting because yes, I'd love a superclean reverb, like looking through extremely clear glass. "reverb based effect with a unique sound": well, there areen't that many reverb-based effects, so yes I sure will!
