UVI releases Bloom - “A Creative Reverb That Grows With You“ (quote from their website).
Bloom is a vibrant, modern reverb designed to spark inspiration. Built on a custom diffusion architecture, Bloom shapes sound with rich, blooming tails that naturally evolve over time, softening transients, filling space, and adding motion and emotion to your mix. From ambient textures and atmospheric washes to swelling transitions and dreamy vocals, Bloom creates expressive depth for producers, composers, and sound designers of all backgrounds.
Beta-testing it was inspiring I must say.

Intro price discount through June 30, 2025. wow short window. $79 full price. I like UVI, but I think I'd rather spend $50 on Valhalla VintageVerb for something that is established, that's next on purchase list.

Yeah, complaining about getting something cheaper for a while ....

I haven't checked it out yet, but reading the description has me wondering why UVI didn't just update Sparkverb to v2 and include this as a new algorithm. Reading the boilerplate jargon for both would have me thinking that they now have two products almost competing with each other. Anyway, that's just more of an observation than a complaint and maybe they're more different than the words imply. One side of my brain is thinking, dude, the last thing you need is another reverb, while the other side is looking at that intro price and GUI and already justifying the purchase without even trying it yet :dog:

Yes! I actually felt confused looking at the interface and thinking it was Sparkverb (or Sparkverb 2).

I tried the demo. Sounds nice. It has some interesting features. I can see why its a separate product from Sparkverb. It's worth trying the demo and working through the preset categories to get a good sense of it.

Showcasing two presets I made for the Bloom factory library using piano/strings as audio input.

I got the same vibe from Venus Theory’s videos. They have two delay plugins as well, not including their tape emulators, which also seems odd to me. The plugin sounds good, though, and the preset interpolater thing is a cool idea.

Reverb plugins and associated over-the-top marketing spiel have become a bonafide meme on YouTube.

works/worked quite well for e.g. Valhalla and Exponentail Audio...

can´t make iLok to authorise the Demo here, for some obtuse reason (on my part, most likely).
I wonder, are there any similarities with ADPTR utopia?
