Make Space For Lushness

• Crystalline is a new, state-of-the-art, reverb plugin with a pristine and modern sound.
• Gives you unprecedented creative control to shape your reflections.
• Lets you sync reverb start and decay times to your song's tempo.
• An evolution of classic 20th century studio reverbs - fully upgraded for today.

A ‘perfect algorithmic reverb’ is often considered the holy grail of digital audio effects. In fact, the idea can be traced all the way back to research papers from the 1960s.

Throughout the 20th century, algorithmic reverbs evolved thanks to companies like EMT and Lexicon. But limited computing power at the time forced manufacturers to work within narrow constraints.

Fast forward, and we now have the resources to do things that couldn’t be done during the golden age of studio reverbs. Both in terms of sheer sound quality. But also in terms of adding creative features that weren’t possible in the hardware days.

Crystalline stands on the shoulders of 60 years of chasing ‘the holy grail of DSP’. We’ve asked ourselves what the pioneers of the legendary digital reverb would have done if they had the resources we have today – and then we’ve made exactly that plugin. With all the bells and whistles a modern engineer would need.

Unrealistic Expectations Allowed

When we're talking reverbs, there are two fundamental philosophies: Algorithmic and Convolution reverbs. Convolution tries to mimic the sound of a real physical space using impulse responses, while an algorithmic reverb seeks to create an artificial space from mathematical algorithms, free from the constraints of the natural world. The idea of an algorithmic reverb was first conceived in the 1960s – and evolved over the following decades, redefining the sound of modern music with every new technology leap (and improved memory chip!).

Crystalline follows in the tradition of the classic algorithmic reverbs, but adds new features and higher fidelity thanks to modern computing power. It is meant to sound unreal - in the most positive sense of the word. Its rooms and halls won't sound anything like those in your house - but closer to those of your dreams!
