Equally made for reverb explorers and experienced reverb artists
Liberated from any legacy hardware style, the X-Verb graphical user interface will especially appeal to people who like to see what they are hearing. The fully interactive display shows the exact reverb shapes and resulting filter curves. Extensive control options include drag able Reverb and ER nodes, traditional mouse parameter control and exact numerical entry.
X-Verb gives you control over any aspect of a room, space or effect reverb. The innovative Quick Controls panel let's you quickly fine-tune presets or change rooms dramatically, with just a couple of controls.
If you really want to delve into room design, X-Verb offers you almost 100 parameters to control in the most minute detail. X-Verb is wrapped in a stunning GUI with context sensitive sub-pages for demanding situations where efficiency and speed of operation is king.
A reverb that makes a Song sound like a Hit – the story of X-Verb
SSL's signal processing has defined the sound of decades of successful productions. Our expertise in producing the highest quality signal processing in both analogue and digital domains is well proven. SSL analogue and digital consoles are the No.1 choice for many of the world's finest audio engineers and producers.
When SSL developed Duende, our aim was to bring our signal processing expertise to the world of digital audio workstations (DAWs). One area of signal processing that was missing from our processing arsenal was reverb. For SSL to release a reverb processing plug-in, it needed to be something special.
In discussion with our customers, we realised that many engineers still appreciate the unique character and complex processing algorithms that classic hardware based reverb units provide. These 19" engines full of dedicated processing create rich, realistic sounding spaces from hugely complex combinations of time, frequency and filter modulation that many modern plug-in and convolution based reverbs fail to reproduce. We made creating these rich environments our primary goals for X-verb.
From this initial vision, we wanted to create a reverb plug-in that not only sounded 'like' these legendary hardware reverbs, but create something new and more creative.
A reverb that sounds even better and offers a completely new workflow by adopting "DAW features" such as automation, graphical parameter animation, morphing and processing multiple instances in one project.
This demands the powerful processing that Duende V3's new Hybrid Core Sharing (HCS) technology and modern multi-core processors provide.
We had all the ingredients, we needed a recipe! To help us put this together we worked together with the very talented team at Relab Development ApS. Several thousands of hours of development and testing later, it was done.
We truly believe that X-Verb is the most exciting and revolutionary reverb plug-in released for DAW's in some time. We're excited to hear what happens when our science meets your creativity... Run the plug-in, read the manual, realise the possibilities, get creative!
X-Verb is an optional plug-in for Duende. Please be aware that X-Verb requires Duende V3 in order to run. The plug-in will only install and run on Duende Hardware.
