Favorite Reverb Device For Extremes?

[Melody303]

What's your favorite reverb device for extremely long reverberations?
I don't mean for the simulation of a great hall or anything particularly realistic. I mean more like nearly infinite decay stuff, unreal stuff.

My own favorite is the good old RV7000, because I can understand it, because it has all those different algorithms, and because I can take almost all of them to infinite decay, which I love.
I also use RPVerb, but I don't really grok it yet, and if it wasn't for the patches (mostly Navi Retlav's), I probably wouldn't have bought it.

How about you?

I rarely use this one, but it does do weird modulation, weird sounds.

The Synapse verb - https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/ ... ep-reverb/ which everyone loves for the lush long stuff can be shaped into more extreme things too (I often use rhythmic gates on it, for example, or even formant filtering), because it's so "thick" sounding, which gives loads to sculpt.

To put it simply for long verbs: I have no doubt you'll grok the DR-1.

I've seen it written many times that Antidote's effects are the same (or based on) their effect units. Would you say the same about Antidote's reverb?

DR-1 for me too, its not called deep reverb for nothing

[Ronin]

Dr-1 is pretty much the same as the one on antidote.
(and it is super sexy)

Hmmm...that would be Valhalla Shimmer. Inside Reason? Hmmm...Polar automated through the RV7000 in a tweaked Big Blue or Filmscore setting. Maybe doubling up on the RV7000 using both presets and sending them to different channels.

That sounds really fun. Care to share an example of how it sounds?

My favorite extreme reverb effect is not made by a reverb - really. It's made by Neutron, a very interesting RE that I found CAN be turned into the longest more beautiful long artificial reverb effect I've heard in Reason, complete with something similar to what I believe is called "shimmer" by other devices.

Get the free Combi I made here:

Listen to a basic example of the effect on clean electric guitar here:



Otherwise, I agree the RV7000 is one of the best, and recently I have been pleasantly surprised to find the new AD 480 to get pretty inspiring on longer settings (reset, then all black faders at max) - the unique "In Bypass" is very useful in these cases, preventing further input from ruining a nice ambient loop that seems to hang on forever at these settings (to get a very slow decay, add a dB or so of high and low damping). TO my ears this reverb is not as "chorused" sounding as the RV7000, which I love but I also like an alternative that doesn't have quite the "Lexicon" effect (which still sounds best on my PCM-70s more than any other reverb for some reason).

For unreal stuff i like the versatility of RP-Verb.
I've build a several combinators with it that have added feedback. Usually through an echobode and an EQ to dampen frequencies that are going out of control. I could easily go on many minutes playing the feedback.

Alti-verb maybe we can see it in the future for Reason

Lovely.
But how about when you don't want the so-called shimmer side effect? Can Neutron give you an extreme reverb-like effect devoid of that shimmer?

I'll give it (AD480) a try once I upgrade beyond 6.5, thanks.

Honestly, I'd be far happier with an RE of SIR than one of Altiverb.
It'd be quite amazing to be able to use any waveform you'd like as an impulse response. Hopefully once the next SDK rolls out?

Yes, there's a button especially for that in the Combi I built (called "Shimmer").

But remember, Neutron isn't a reverb itself, but it can be used to create a beautiful long reverb effect once you combine it with a few key additional elements.

What I've found pretty cool recently is having a Audiomatic set Wash before the Reverb which sort of creates an industrial vibe behind the original sounds when used as a send, doesn't really sound like Reverb. Use as an insert and it can be pretty cool for making sounds for film.

[challism]

Yup, Synapse DR-1 has a ridiculously long tail.  Very lush, rich sound too.  Great reverb!

[pedrocaetanos]

Always heard Antidote's builtin reverb is about the same as Synapse Deep Reverb.
I only have Antidote, and I'm pretty happy with the reverb for the purpose you ask.

Check Selig patch and improvisation, with oceans of Antidote reverb

Check mine - it's an improv with Selig's preset, but just a tiny bit dryer

A lot of them are based on (but not quite the same as) the stand-alone effects.  The reverb though is either the same or only very slightly different, from what I've read on the old forum (I don't have the stand-alone effect).

I remember a post from the dev talking about differences between some of the other effects though.  If anyone's got a copy of that, it would be useful information to put up again on this forum!

I just got hold of Neutron on the strength of that demo alone.

I'm trialing it because of this thread

[Tincture]

I'm a big fan of Neutron and the sale price is amazing.

I used Selig's brilliant neutron verb combi on the guitar in Sweet Nothing (in my Sig)

[gak]

Valley people dynomite after reverb x. You can try all the comps but it's a neat trick.

[XysteR]

I just nailed Neutron too. I'm quite liking AD480 aswell.

[satyr32]

When the reverb is in send or in insert? In other words do you compress the dry and the wet signal or only the wet?

[Bonkhead]

I just tested neutron due to the sale and the only reasson i'm not buying it is because of the lack of high frequencies.
They just drop above 5 khz, with a re-emerge just before 20 khz .... otherwise a great effect

[Rook]

Definitely the DR1. I love that thing. It helps me not miss my Valhalla vst so much.
