ValhallaPlate Updated to Version 1.5.0

[Yorrrrrr]

Windows version please?

Reverb mode cornucopia... not necessarily a very good thing.

If simplicity is the goal, get Audio Damage Eos, which Sean wrote the algorithms for. It has only three reverb modes.

Or get Valhalla Vintage Verb and use only Smooth Plate, which Sean has recommended multiple times when people ask “Where should I start?”

Or do what I do and get Valhalla Vintage Verb and use only Smooth Random, which is loosely based on the Lexicon “Random Hall”; that’s the algorithm I use to replace Random Hall in my Lexicon PCM90 which is on the blink (VVV sounds better than the PCM90).

As a rule of thumb:

• For simple, Audio Damage Eos.
• For realistic small rooms, Valhalla Room.
• For that 1980s Lexicon sound, Valhalla Vintage Verb. Also has a non linear mode.
• For that rock and roll sound from the 1960s or 1970s, Valhalla Plate.
• For very deep editing of wild delays and even some reverbs, Valhalla ÜberMod.
• For experimental sounding ambient soundscapes, Valhalla Shimmer.

Four dedicated reverb plugins containing 41 reverb modes, if I counted correctly.

46, actually:

• 3 in Audio Damage Eos
• 12 in Valhalla Room
• 15 in Valhalla Vintage Verb
• 12 in Valhalla Plate
• 4 in Valhalla Shimmer

This does not count the reverbs in ÜberMod (Edit Alternate link), nor does it count the Halls of Valhalla available for the Z-DSP, nor does it count the FDN Reverb Sean once made for Csound (Sean’s very first reverb, as it turns out; making this a VST is left as an exercise for the reader).

I would really love a Valhalla uberVerb that contains all the algos in one plugin.

All of Sean’s plugins combined cost $250 (Edit $300 if you include Audio Damage Eos); there are single reverb plugins which cost over twice that.

Shhhh, don't mention the 's' word, you may give Sean some very bad ideas...

Sean has usually said, when asked for a spring reverb, that, as long as the sproing is not part of the desired sound, you can get very close with a convolution and the right impulse response. Yes, I have pointed him to the academic papers on how to get that sproing in an algorithmic spring reverb, and, yes, he was already aware of them.

I need to make 1 or 2 changes to the next OSX beta, and will then port things over to Windows. The Windows port will happen post-Christmas, once the bugs are worked out of the main code base.

Windows version please?

Sorry, you’ve been bad so Santa isn’t going to give you a Windows Valhalla Plate 1.5 for Christmas this year. If you’re a good kid, you might get it next Christmas.

Did I mention: Merry Christmas everyone!

Sometimes, less is more.

Yeah, like when Sean charges you less and gives you more.

[ImNotDedYet]

Windows version please?

He said in his last post he has to port the Mac stuff to Windows - it will happen after Christmas.

Patience my friend...

[Yorrrrrr]

Hehe..no rush, I will wait patiently for this gem to be updated. Thanks Sean, and merry christmas to all!

[valhallasound]

As I said: cornucopia.

Adamantium - is that for recording Adam Ant music

Hope you can Stand and Deliver the windows version soon after Christmas

You sound desperate, but not serious.

Too many Christmas cracker jokes I think

And I have them all except this one, I would rather not keep getting more single plugins but just have one that combines them all.

I think you might need a hint : Sean played along with you.

[Paulnz]

Yeah, I just thought the humour was plummeting to the depths of a Christmas cracker joke

maybe I was just being a goody two-shoes!

I can’t think of anyone besides Sean who currently has more than one reverb algorithm in a given .dll file (TC M40 was the only non-Sean reverb to do this, with three algorithms in a .dll).

The Lexicon PCM reverb suite, for example, has seven different algorithms (3 halls, 2 plates, chamber, and room) — and seven different .dll files, one for each algorithm. When Eventide/Princeton Audio had three different SP2016 reverb algorithms available as VST plugins, there were three .dll files, one for each algorithm. I am sure there are technical reasons for this, and why it’s not practical to have a single VST .dll where the number and type of knobs change depending on the algorithm chosen.

That said, Merry Christmas!

The only two that spring to mind for me are Breverb and TSAR-1

Looking forward to hearing some audio examples of the 5 new modes

Merry Christmas - it's already 3:20pm on Christmas day here in New Zealand

TSAR-1 is just one algorithm with different early reflection types to choose from. Breverb2, on the other hand, yes, has seven different algorithms, with different parameters for each algorithm, in a single VST .dll (or VTAS or standalone app or...). This is the first time I have seen this. I wonder what it looks like when you directly look at its parameters instead of opening up its gui when using it as a VST plugin.
