Eventide Temperance Pro

Eventide Temperance Pro

Eventide Temperance Pro is a groundbreaking modal reverb that speaks the language of music itself. Operating on the 12-note chromatic scale, Temperance Pro determines which notes bloom or fade within a space, allowing you to sculpt reverbs that are musically intentional rather than incidental. With deep control, expressive movement, and 29 world-class spaces built entirely on modal technology, it redefines what a musical reverb can be.

World’s Most Musical Reverb

Unlike traditional algorithmic or convolution reverbs, Temperance Pro analyzes and shapes sound at the note level. Each space is built from thousands of individual resonators, enabling precise control over pitch, decay, and energy distribution. The result is a reverb that feels harmonically aware, responsive, and deeply integrated into your music.

Shape the Musical Texture

The Temper and Range controls define how musical notes are emphasized or de-emphasized within the reverb, and which octaves are affected. Advanced controls such as Target and Note Width expand these capabilities, offering detailed control for studio production and live performance.

• Temper: Controls the strength of note emphasis or suppression.
• Range: Selects which octaves are affected by tempering.
• Target: Choose when tempering occurs — Early reflections, Late reverb tail, or All.
• Note Width: Determines how broadly each note spreads in the modal field. Lower values produce purer, focused tones; higher values create richer, chorused textures.

Direct the Musical Movement

The Note Selection panel turns reverb into a compositional tool, letting you define which notes drive the motion of the space.

• Manual Mode: Build custom note selections using a note-roll interface. Quickly highlight chords, scales, modes, or intervals, and transpose them with ease.
• Sequencer Mode: Program evolving note changes that follow chord progressions or scales, adding dynamic musical movement to the reverb.
• MIDI Mode: Control note selection in real time using a MIDI controller for immediate, expressive interaction.

Unique Modal Controls

Alongside familiar reverb controls such as Mix, Decay, and Size, Temperance Pro introduces powerful modal parameters that reshape the space in ways not possible with conventional reverbs.

• Position: Adjust the balance between early and late reflections to change perceived listening distance.
• Density: Reduce modal density for progressively more fragmented, lo-fi textures; at 100%, all modes are active.
• Offset: Shift the center frequencies of all modes by up to ±500 Hz, repositioning the entire space independently of tempering.

29 World-Class Modal Spaces

Temperance Pro includes 29 expertly crafted spaces that sound exceptional even before customization. From intimate rooms and grand halls to lush mechanical reverbs and experimental synthetic environments, each space is created using Eventide’s patented machine-learning technology to transform classic algorithmic and convolution reverbs into the modal domain.

The collection also features authentic recreations of legendary spaces, including designs by acoustics pioneer Ralph Kessler, alongside Eventide originals created specifically to showcase modal reverb technology.

The Science of Modal Reverb

Imagine a room filled with thousands of tuning forks, each tuned to a specific frequency across the entire audible spectrum. Temperance Pro models reverberation as a collection of these independent resonators, giving you control over the loudness and decay of each one in real time.

This modal approach breaks free from the limitations of traditional reverbs, enabling spaces that are harmonically intentional, musically expressive, and uniquely alive.
