Acon Verberate - Algorithmic Reverb with Surreal Realism, Acon Digital

Acon Digital Verberate is an algorithmic reverb plug-in that simulates real acoustical surroundings with a new degree of realism. Several conventional building blocks in traditional digital reverb design have been replaced by novel methods that allow Verberate to produce convincing early reflections and the dense reverberation tails that characterize impulse response measurements of real acoustical spaces. The result is a clean, unobtrusive sonic quality and a reverb that blends seamlessly into a mix. This is the reverb for those who like clean and realistic reverbs like convolution reverbs, but are in need of more flexibility and tweaking possibilities without sacrificing realism.

Unlike conventional digital reverberation designs, impulse responses obtained from measurements of Acon Digital Verberate sound and look almost indistinguishable from measurements of real acoustical spaces. The figure shows an impulse response obtained from the medium hall preset in Verberate with the source placed on the left channel.

A large catalog of factory presets along with a clear and to-the-point graphical user interface simplifies the search for the sound you have in mind. As with all Acon Digital plug-ins, functionality and audio quality are the top priorities.
