BOREALIS

Borealis is a dynamic reverb plugin designed for the studio, stage, and beyond. It transcends conventional reverb plugins by allowing you to create an interplay between your dry input and its wet output, using its envelope follower and unique modulation possibilities. BOREALIS allows you to manipulate a myriad of parameters simultaneously for expressive results with a user-friendly animated interface with 3-axes macro controls.

Borealis offers an array of 14 unique reverb algorithms, from lush convolution reverbs sampled from epic spaces to shimmering algorithmic reverbs and vintage diffused delays. The plugin's extensive modulation capabilities, including complex non-linear modulators and a deep envelope follower, enable access to highly responsive and organic results. We have also included a mastering section in BOREALIS that allows you to shape both dry and wet signals, fine-tune your sound and makes it an essential tool to inspire and transform your musical creative process.

Dynamically morphing rooms

Borealis's modulation capabilities are extensive, featuring three modulators and an envelope follower. The modulators, including Sine, Triangle, Square, Random, Stepped and custom-drawn shapes, allow you to create intricate movement. The envelope follower derives control signals from your input, allowing for responsive performances with adjustable attack, release, gain, and threshold settings. Like a living, breathing organism, Borealis empowers you to go deeper, allowing you to modulate modulators with each other and with the envelope follower, creating a network of performable sound.

Mastering-Grade Limiter and EQ

As the cherry on top, Borealis also includes a powerful mastering section with a parametric equalizer and dual-mode modern and vintage-flavoured limiter. The Modern limiter offers ultra-transparent IIR look-ahead limiting, while the Vintage limiter is inspired by the classic UREI 1176 Peak Limiter. This section lets you shape and 'glue' both dry and wet signals, perfecting your overall sound.

With Borealis, we created a Spatial Effect Playground to inspire and enhance your creative process and transform your approach to reverb design with its expansive sound, advanced modulators, and inspiring control interface.

14 Inspiring Algorithms

Inspired by the boundary-pushing world of guitar pedals and Eurorack effects, Borealis offers a wide variety of inspiring time-based effects through its 14 algorithms, including multi-dimensional convolution reverbs sampled in epic and unusual spaces from a lush church to the inside of a piano, shimmering reactive algorithmic reverbs that go to infinity, and vintage modulated delay networks.
