XL-305R

The XL-305R Plugin is the software version of AudioScape's acclaimed XL-305R Spring Reverb. Their designers teamed up with Canadian plug-in developer Kiive Audio to recreate in the digital realm their take on a classic 1980's analog reverb tank.

AudioScape has stayed true to our philosophy of more-real-than-recreated by making this plugin a doppelganger of our hardware offering.

The XL-305R for Mac and Windows is perfect if you want to stay in-the-box, but still want the sweet vibe of vintage analog reverb.

12 Springs Equally Tempered

AudioScape's hardware version of the XL-305R has its roots in the digital-free XL-305 Spring Reverb released by Micmix in 1979. An immediate success, it quickly found its way into major studios worldwide. Owing to its smooth decay and unique sonic signature, it has been a secret weapon reverb over the years and has gained cult-like status. Unlike many spring reverbs, this spring assembly has 12 springs tuned together making it equally tempered, very similar to opening the lid of a piano, holding the damper open and singing into the strings. Working from this core design principle, we re-imagined the rest of our hardware version of the XL-305R from the ground up. After four years of R & D under the direction of Wayne Kirkwood (original designer of the XL-305), we brought our take on this ground-breaking design from the last century into this one.

Now we're proud to bring you the software version of this classic with our new XL-305R Equally-Tempered Spring Reverb plugin. We've stayed true to our philosophy of more-real-than-recreated by making this plugin nearly a doppelganger of our hardware offering.
