Strange New Worlds
Galactic Reverb is an algorithmic reverb plugin that captures the expansive sound of coveted classic hardware digital reverbs. With a decay time up to 35 seconds, it enables users to create massive, beautiful aural spaces. Galactic is a natural for transporting guitars, drums, keys, and even vocals into an extraterrestrial ambience.
Based on a reverb algorithm featured in Cherry Audio's smash hit Dreamsynth virtual instrument, the Galactic plugin adds modulation controls, predelay, and an equalizer. We've also added a remarkable ducking function for automatically reducing reverb levels while a singer or an instrument is playing to improve mix clarity, no sidechain required. Ducking can also be used to dramatically alternate between super dry and immense reverb tails, setting Galactic apart from other spacey reverbs.
Galactic is intuitive to use and produces musical results at lightspeed. Like all Cherry Audio plugins, Galactic includes our convenient preset browser, loaded with over 50 ethereal presets. It can be used as an insert or bus effect, and is fully compatible with mono or stereo sources.
Bypass the compressor. Initiate the matter-antimatter integrator. Engage the warp drive and go Galactic.

I bought the reverb because of the really long decay times and also, because some demos sounded nice, this spacey, ethereal sound was still missing in my collection.
I usually do not like modern reverbs a lot, especially not the typical, for my taste too digitally sounding ambient reverbs, therefore I prefer using some - for me - more usable, sonically more vintage vocied spring reverb or plate reverb plugins.
After some first tests I was astonished, how good and also how flexible the Galactic Reverb is. Simple controls, which make sense, nothing unnecessary, but all you really can need.
The long decay sounds are beautiful and due to the modulation and ducking options also sound good and vivid, never boring or synthetic, but also shorter reverbs work very well.
I had planned to mostly use it with keyboards, synthesizers or percussion, but I was astonished, how good these reverb sounds also harmonize with electric guitars. They can, properly adjusted, almost compete with a good spring reverb. They never really sound like one, but they can be a good, more modern voiced alternative with comparable quality and vividness, only with a different character but also much longer decay, if wished or necessary.
This is an aspect, I did not even expect, but which I like a lot. I also have some more expensive reverbs, with more knobs, but this one seems to become one of my favorites in the future.
Also the price is for the quality more than fair.
