BLEASS Reverb, AUv3 Reverb Effect For Soundscape Designers

April 26, 2019 Synth Anatomy iOS, News, Software 0

Vianney, the designer of excellent BLEASS Delay is back with a new app. Its latest development is again an AUv3 effect processor and is called BLEASS Reverb. As the name suggests, it’s a new reverb app for iOS.

Interesting is here that the app has a built-in ducking function after the reverb processor that is made of a compressor side-chained on the dry input. This addition is especially very helpful for bringing clarity in kicks and basses. If this app sounds as good as BLEASS Delay, you can easily spend the $ 4.99.

App Description

BLEASS reverb is a unique sounding plugin effect bringing your music production and live performances towards new soundscapes! It is composed of 3 different stages:

A first stage modifies the input source by correcting the gain and setting up early reflections pre-delay in order to re-create distant walls. This first stage also contains a filter to modify frequencies. Switch between two different filter types:
- the Low-Shelf filter can reduce or boost your basses.
- the High-Pass filter cuts the low part of the signal and creates a resonant peak on interesting frequencies
The second stage offers a unique-sounding reverb with size modulation and length controls. It also contains a high-frequency damping control in order to re-create plate reverb effects, as well as a freeze toggle button for infinite sound soaring and exploration. This reverb offers also an X/Y panel which applies a set of fine-tuned frequency shifter as well as a wave shaper in order to mutate your reverb space on the go!
The third stage offers a duck effect made of a compressor side-chained on the dry input in order to bring clarity to heavy kicks and basses. Finally, a dry-wet controller offers control over the reverb level.

All these features are shown within the factory presets, and you can save your own presets which will automatically carry over across different host apps. All variables are exposed as AU parameters in hosts which support automation. BLEASS reverb can also be used as a standalone app using headphones and mic or an external sound card.
