REV2 Plate & Shimmer Reverb
REV2 is Nodens Software's 3rd plug-in, that has been on and off development since December, 2024. Finally, the project has been given the attention needed to be released into a plug-in, and is now available to download for free. It sounds like a mix of plate with shimmer and is excellent at making sharp, metallic sounds.
This plug-in uses the technologies JUCE for the reverb, and FAUST for the shimmer algorythm.
Supported Platforms:
Windows
Linux (Unofficially under Yabridge)
Installation Guide (Windows): Execute the installation script as administrator, this is needed as it needs to install a font pack into your system, which requires registry entries. You can aslo install it manually by dragging the files into the appropriate directories if needed.
Zones and their functions:
Dry/Wet: Controls the global Dry and Wet levels of the plug-in.
Reverb Parameters: Features 3 controls: Width; Decay and Damping.
Filters: The "PRE" section allows you to apply a High Pass Filter (HPF) and a Low Pass Filter (LPF) to the signal before it goes into the reverb. This filter can be bypassed by pressing the On/Off switch. The "POST" section allows you to apply a HPF and a LPF to the signal exiting the reverb. It too can be bypassed by pressing It's On/Off switch. All 4 filters are of the Biquad variety.
Shimmer: Basic knob that controls the amount of shimmer that goes into the signal.
Autopan: Features the Autopan's parameters, which are respectively, "Rate", "Bypass" and "Depth". Rate controls how fast the sine-shaped panning happens. Bypass simply toggles it on and off by bypassing Autopan entirely. Depth controls how intense the Autopan is by amplitude.
Special thanks to Christoph Hart and David Healey for helping me debug this project.
