There are quite possibly hundreds of third-party reverbs available in VST plug-in format, and if you were looking for an alternative to Variverb Pro, the most obvious examples might include Wave Arts' Masterverb, Nomad Factory's Blueverb DRV2080, IK's Classik Studio Reverb, PSP's Easyverb, Spin Audio's Roomverb, Silverspike's Reverb.It and Cakewalk's Sonitus Reverb. The interface is dripping with well-thought-out features, including an informative graphical display, tool-tip help, and buttons that trigger sidestick, finger-snap and vocal samples for testing. There are also high and low shelving EQs, with fixed frequencies of 8kHz and 150Hz respectively. All of these will be familiar to anyone who's used a decent reverb before: the exact controls available vary with the algorithm, but in each case they present fairly conventional parameters such as pre-delay, early-reflections level, room size, decay time, high-frequency damping and stereo width. By default, Variverb Pro provides only Size, Decay and High Damp controls, but clicking on the Expert button reveals the full range. You choose one of the basic algorithms, which model various reverberant environments such as halls, rooms, plates and springs, and then shape the sound using various editable parameters. In its basic concept, Variverb Pro (left) is similar to many other hardware and software reverb generators. Samplitude Pro includes both a convolution reverb and a more traditional algorithmic reverb, and it's the latter that has been spun off as an independent product.
