WireGrind releases BlizzVerb for Windows VST3

WireGrind has released BlizzVerb, a new VST reverberation plug-in for Windows.

BlizzVerb is an algorithmic room-style reverberation effect. It uses multiple physics-based strategies to produce realistic reverberation.

Features:

• Physically-Informed Wetness Control - Wetness is adjusted by altering an underlying acoustic model. This differs from the more-common approach where wetness is adjusted by cross-fading two signals.
• Frequency Damping Modeled on Real Rooms - A special algorithm shapes the spectrum so as to recreate the spectral-decay behavior often observed in measured room impulse responses. This compares favorably to the more-coarse and more-common practice of splitting the reverb tail into several decay bands.
• Stereo Enhancement For Both Headphones and Speakers - BlizzVerb renders stereo reverberation for both headphones and speakers. Both rendering schemes run concurrently, and two parameters independently adjust the depth of each scheme.
• 1,000 Rooms - BlizzVerb includes 1,000 different rooms. In literal terms, there's a parameter called "room number." Each room number corresponds to a different set of early echos. With BlizzVerb, the early echos will impact temporal texture, stereo field, and coloration. The company states that "It often yields subtle results, but it remains useful for those wanting fine-tuned reverberation.".
• Early Echo Build-Up - The build-up of the early echos is based on geometrical acoustics theory. This is done to improve realism while helping to reduce certain types of artifacts.
• Freeze - BlizzVerb includes freeze functionality. In reverb plug-ins, freeze causes the plug-in to maintain its current output for an indefinite period of time. Freeze is often used for creative purposes including the creation of pad sounds.

Additional Features:

• Room size adjustment.
• Undo / redo.
• A / B settings toggle.
