KVR Audio

Once I owned a hardware effects processor from Dynacord, that had a very special type of hall effect, called freeze. It took the first few milliseconds of a sound and made a pad like texture out of it, that slowly faded out. (over a minute on default settings) With some instruments it sounded similiar, other ones gave you a completely different sound. It depends on the characteristics of the first tiny bit of the sound. With a guitar it sounded incredible. I never could achive something silmiliar with any other effect.

Does by any chance someone knows the effect processor I mean, and a VST that can do this?

The sampler by Disco DSP can I think.

Edit: Highlife but it's been Discontinued. Weird.

Eventide Blackhole can do that. There's also Audiothing Frostbite that has a different take on the concept (and more besides).

I'll have a look at that one too, thanks. What I'm looking for isn't just an infinite plate or extra-long hall. This specific freeze effect made instruments like a piano or guitar sound like a synth.

Frostbite?

It sounded like this:

The song contains 1 bass guitar track, 1 guitar track (with freeze), 1 drum track and 1 percussion track.
(it's very, very old...^^)

Great, this looks like I can do that with it. Seems generally great for experimental music. (what i mostly do)
Another one on my list. Thanks.
Btw. for me it's more "unfortunately". I've bought so many effects and bundles already... There are effects of the same type that I have in 8 different versions.

You'll need to experiment with the timing of the freeze button, but you might get similar sounds out of Boscomac's Freezebee if you have Reaktor.

Yes, I have Reaktor. Another promising one. Thank you.

GRM Tools Freeze, for granular freezing.

SpectrumWorx, for spectral freezing.

Same effect but very different sonic results

Does anyone knows a VST that has a "freeze" effect?
