Great !
Do you offer an intro price (please, please...) ?
189 EUR is a lot of money for me.
I have to decide to get your reverb or Kjaerhus GAC-1 for this month.

My first impression:
Superb Sound, great userfriendly gui,
presetmanagment is a killer feature.

Really good work !

Just played around with it a bit and honestly I am not very impressed related to the price and announcements.

I mean, it is not a bad one, but there is so much competition out there on this quality level and unfortunately none of them (except VSS3) comes close to (of course much more expensive) hardware but with every release it is step further. If you do not own a good reverb already it might be a good choice.

Performance is not much better compared to other reverbs, at least on my box.

so waiting for the holy grail is not over

Alright,

from some test I made I can say that I'm impressed. Most param combinations do sound at least good. Some sounds I dialed in were really stunning. Rooms can sounds impressively good and big washes, too. Overall usefulness for various sounds is good. Ambience is on the loose compared to this one.
Performance is OK, way lower than Ambience (I'm using a P4).
Gotta do some more tests later also checking it inside of mixes but my first impression is that this is the next quality level of reverb vst plugins.

All the best, FRitz

I've also demoed the reverb for a while now. It's quite good sounding when using big rooms/halls but it doesn't do a "hardware" like small room, extreme tight ambience (think lexicon 'closet'/dry studio sounds or TC Mx000 series tight ambiences). Also, I had quite big problems dialing in a good kick drum reverb ambience. These are extremely tricky to setup as they can easily muddy the track. It is a high quality reverb, that's for sure, but it's definately not the holy grail for me. However, it does seem to be one of the best sounding native plugin 'non-convolving' revebs around. I'll keep tweaking and see if my opinion will change.

Cheers!

indeed, you`re right!

ttoz wrote:I am glad you offered a USD option at least.
well, we do what we can to satisfy the users, as we are users ourself.
this was one thing we at least could do, while others were not possible.

ttoz wrote:It sounds gorgeous from my demo testing so far. the most it uses is about 8% of my centrino 1.8 laptop, which is very reasonable.
thank you. we of course allways keep going on .

ttoz wrote:I have a feeling you will end up doing a group buy, as the demand for one on such an expensive plugin will be huge. And I bet you do it because it's better to get 200 sales at $99 then 20 sales at $189.

you know, calculating like this is not all. against all roarings about the quality of native reverbs we`ve worked hard to create a high quality reverb that still is usable on an average cpu. this took a lot of time. but, of course, we react on the users

. let`s see what future brings.

Unfortunately, it sounds pretty much like all the "free-verbs" to me...not trying to be dick, just one dude's opinion....
