ChronoVerb
Phase Smearing. Harmonic Folding. Physical Resonance. One Masterpiece.
Currently exclusive to Windows systems (additional OS support in development).
What is it?
ChronoVerb is not just a reverb; it is an atmospheric synthesizer designed to construct spaces that exist beyond the physical world. While traditional reverbs merely simulate a room, ChronoVerb builds evolving, living environments—from tight, punchy chambers to infinite, frozen voids.
It fuses two distinct reverberation technologies into a single, cohesive engine: a precision Reflection Generator for spatial definition and a lush Spectral Diffuser for density. Whether you are designing the sound of a reactor silo, a vast ice cavern, or a sub-oceanic trench, ChronoVerb gives you total control over the flow of time and texture.

Reverb Profiles
ChronoVerb features 14 unique profiles categorized into four distinct sonic families.
The Classics
Essential, high-fidelity algorithms for everyday mixing tasks.
- Room: Clean, intimate reflections that place your sound in a real physical space. Perfect for adding subtle depth to dialogue or Foley without washing out the clarity of your mix.
- Hall: The classic sound of a grand concert stage, offering wide stereo imaging and a lush, sophisticated tail. It is the ideal choice for orchestral textures and cinematic leads that need a sense of prestige.
- Plate: A shimmering, mechanical classic that adds a timeless, metallic sheen to any source. Its dense, bright character makes it a legendary choice for vocals, drums, and high-energy game UI.
- Spring: Capture the iconic, "boingy" character of vintage hardware tanks. From surf-rock drips to gritty lo-fi textures, this profile delivers pure analog nostalgia with every bounce.
Atmospheric & Cinematic
Designed for scoring, soundscapes, and emotional weight.
- Shimmer: Elevate your sounds with ethereal, pitch-shifted cascades that bloom into angelic clouds. It turns simple chords into majestic, harmonically rich soundscapes that feel truly otherworldly.
- Abyss: Descend into the deep with a dark, resonant engine that tracks your audio and adds massive fundamental weight. It is the ultimate tool for creating ominous, cinematic drones and world-shaking sub-frequencies.
- Bloom: A beautifully soft reverb that swells into existence, gently wrapping your sounds in a growing atmosphere. Perfect for ambient pads and emotive transitions where you want the reverb tail to breathe and evolve.
Experimental & Organic
Living, breathing textures for advanced sound design.
- ShroomVerb: An organic, living network of granular "spores" that create a swarm of chaotic, evolving textures. This mycelium-inspired engine is built for designers seeking unpredictable, biological soundscapes.
Specialized Environments
Unique acoustic signatures for specific narrative needs.
- Reactor Silo: A haunting, industrial space defined by metallic rings and disorienting flutter echoes. It is perfect for gritty sound design and horror-tinged textures that need a cold, concrete edge.
- Glacier Heart: Brittle, glassy, and intensely cold—this profile emphasizes the "crack" of your sound before it dissolves into a crystal-clear halo. It brings a sharp, icy brilliance to your high-end textures.
- Ice Cavern: Wander through a frozen underworld of sparse, frost-bitten reflections and deep, crystalline depth. It creates an evocative, sub-zero atmosphere that feels both ancient and mysterious.
- Leviathan: Submerge your audio in the crushing pressure of the deep ocean, where high frequencies vanish and massive low-end drones travel for miles. This sub-aqueous engine turns transients into suffocating, liquid swells—perfect for creating that "whale song" effect.
- Grand Cathedral: Step inside a massive stone sanctuary with dark air absorption and majestic, long-decaying tails. This physics-inspired engine captures the awe-inspiring scale and somber reflections of a vast, ancient cathedral.
- Alpine Canyon: Experience the lonely majesty of the outdoors with sparse, wide-open echoes and mountain-scale reflections. It is a breathtakingly wide space where your sound can roam free across majestic, jagged landscapes.

The Hybrid Architecture
ChronoVerb splits the atom of reverberation. It allows you to sculpt the "Impact" (Early Reflections) separately from the "Tail" (Late Reflections). This enables the creation of impossible acoustic spaces—imagine the immediate intimacy of a small booth combined with the infinite decay of a canyon. It delivers clarity where you need it and wash where you want it.

Living, Breathing Spaces
Static reverbs sound dead. ChronoVerb brings your mix to life with Chrono-Modulation. This feature injects organic movement into the reverb tail, preventing stagnant frequencies and adding a subtle, chorus-like shimmer to the decay. The result is a spatial effect that feels like it’s breathing along with your music.
-
4
"Infinity" Freeze Mode
Transform your reverb into a playable instrument. Engaging the Freeze function instantly locks the current sound in a suspended state of infinite sustain. This turns a simple piano chord or vocal chop into a massive, evolving drone pad—perfect for transitions, cinematic beds, or creating textures that hang in the air forever.
-
5
Analog-Modeled Saturation
To keep your mixes warm and controlled, ChronoVerb includes a built-in Soft Saturation stage within the feedback loop. As you push the decay times to their limits, the reverb gently saturates rather than spiraling into harsh digital noise, ensuring that even the most massive washes of sound remain musical and mix-ready.

FAQ
Q:What is the difference between
"Size" and "Decay"?
+
Think of Size as the physical dimensions of the room—how far away the walls feel. Think of Decay as the energy of the room—how long the sound hangs in the air. By adjusting them separately, you can create unique textures, such as a "Small Size" room with a "Long Decay" (metallic and resonant) or a "Huge Size" space with a "Short Decay" (vast but controlled).
Q:How does the "Freeze" button differ
from a looper?
+
A looper repeats audio. The Freeze button in ChronoVerb suspends the reverberation itself. It disconnects the input and traps the existing sound in an infinite feedback loop. Because the sound is constantly passing through the internal diffusers and filters, the frozen texture slowly evolves and shifts over time, creating a rich, organic drone rather than a static repetitive loop.
Q:Can I use this for realistic room
simulations?
+
Absolutely. While ChronoVerb excels at massive, creative FX, turning the Diffusion and Modulation down allows it to function as a pristine, high-definition room simulator. It is designed to be a "chameleon" processor—invisible when you need it to be, and unmistakably massive when you want it to be.
