Description
A âperfect algorithmic reverbâ 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 couldnât 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 werenât possible in the hardware days.
Crystalline stands on the shoulders of 60 years of chasing âthe holy grail of DSPâ. Weâve asked ourselves what the pioneers of the legendary digital reverbs would have done if they had the resources we have today â and then weâve made exactly that plugin. With all the bells and whistles a modern engineer would need.
