In fact, the idea can be traced all the way back to research papers from the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xch-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xch-paragraph\">Fast forward, and we now have the resources to do things that couldn't 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 weren't possible in the hardware days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xch-paragraph\">Crystalline stands on the shoulders of 60 years of chasing \u2018the holy grail of DSP\u2019. We've asked ourselves what the pioneers of the legendary digital reverb would have done if they had the resources we have today - and then we've made exactly that plugin. With all the bells and whistles a modern engineer would need.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"xch-heading\">Unrealistic Expectations Allowed<\/h1>\n<p class=\"xch-paragraph\">When we&#8217;re talking reverbs, there are two fundamental philosophies: Algorithmic and Convolution reverbs. Convolution tries to mimic the sound of a real physical space using impulse responses, while an algorithmic reverb seeks to create an artificial space from mathematical algorithms, free from the constraints of the natural world. The idea of an algorithmic reverb was first conceived in the 1960s \u2013 and evolved over the following decades, redefining the sound of modern music with every new technology leap (and improved memory chip!).<\/p>\n<p class=\"xch-paragraph\">Crystalline follows in the tradition of the classic algorithmic reverbs, but adds new features and higher fidelity thanks to modern computing power. It is meant to sound unreal &#8211; in the most positive sense of the word. Its rooms and halls won&#8217;t sound anything like those in your house &#8211; but closer to those of your dreams!<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"xch-heading\">Preset Creators<\/h1>\n<p class=\"xch-paragraph\">Crystalline comes loaded with more than 300 presets created by BABY Audio and friends of the house &#8211; including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"xch-list\">\n<li class=\"xch-list-item\">Damian Taylor (Bjork, The Prodigy, The Killers, Arcade Fire)<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-list-item\">Michele Canova (John Legend, Alicia Keys, Olly Murs)<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-list-item\">Eric J Dubowsky (Flume, St Vincent, Chet Faker, Kygo)<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-list-item\">Matt Sim (Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Gucci Mane)<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-list-item\">M-Phazes (Eminem, Madonna, Demi Lovato)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"xch-product__notes\">Award-winning creative tools for music makers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"xch-product__features\">\n<h1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main xch-product__features\">Features<\/h1>\n<ul class=\"xch-features__list\">\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">BPM-Synced Start And End Times &#8211; Crystalline lets you hard-sync the reverb attack and decay time to your DAW\u2019s tempo. This will generally result in cleaner mixes where the reflections are naturally in sync with the music. Prefer the classic way? Just hit the \u201cSync\/MS\u201d switch and Crystalline lets you set pre-delay and decay times in milliseconds instead.<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">Reflections Section &#8211; \u201dSize\u201d lets you set the room size from tiny to large. This control is detached from the \u201cLength\u201d control, meaning you can get any size\/length combination you want, including esoteric settings like huge spaces with very short tails or tiny spaces with very long tails. \u201cSparkle\u201d emphasizes high frequencies inside the reverb algorithm. This generates reflections that are naturally brighter, which will help you achieve that extra shine on vocals or snares.\u201dWidth\u201d lets you set t<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">Depth Section &#8211; \u201cResolution\u201d sets the complexity of the algorithm from \u2018basic\u2019 to \u2018pristine\u2019. More complex settings will give you an ultra-clean reverb response, free of metallic artifacts \u2013 while the \u2018Basic\u2019 setting will give you an efficient CPU performance at a normal fidelity. \u201dModulation\u201d creates pitch variations inside the reverb algorithm. This results in a richer sound that works especially well to fatten up synths, guitars and vocals. \u201cShimmer\u201d makes the high frequencies of the reverb t<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">Clean-Up Section &#8211; \u201cDamping\u201d is a dual filter control that lets you remove high and low frequency content from the reverb reflections. This control offers a fast way to get rid of clutter and muddiness in your mixes. \u201cSides\u201d is a high-pass filter that removes stereo information from the low end of the reverb, while keeping the mono-information intact. This is especially helpful for creating wide vocal or lead instrument reflections without muddying-up your low end. \u201cGate\u201d lets you instantly recr<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">Shape Section &#8211; \u201cTone\u201d is a tilt EQ that lets you quickly shift the frequency balance of the reverb to brighter or darker. \u201cSmoothing\u201d gradually applies an EQ-curve custom-designed to address the frequency areas that tend to get resonant and sharp. It mellows out harshness and gives Crystalline a more subtle feel. This allows you to add a little more reverb without drenching your mix. \u201cTransients\u201d lets you shift the reverb algorithm\u2019s emphasis to either the attack or sustain part of the incoming<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">Output Section &#8211; \u201cDucker\u201d lowers the reverb signal when the dry\/incoming track is playing. This gives you a cleaner mix, where you can turn up the reverb more without compromising the dry track. \u201cDucker Gentle\u201d mode offers a slow and natural ducker setting, while the standard ducker mode has a more pumpy feel. \u201dReverse\u201d reverses the reverb playback, giving you some radical sound design possibilities. \u201cFreeze\u201d is another creative effect that takes a granular snapshot of the reverb when clicked an<\/li>\n<li class=\"xch-feature\">Top Panel &#8211; \u201cColor\u201d lets you change between light and dark background colors. \u201cEco Mode\u201d lets you run Crystalline in a low-CPU mode by setting the resolution to \u201cBasic\u201d and disabling the shimmer effect. \u201cSave As Default\u201d lets you save your own default preset that will appear when the plugin initializes or you hit the reset button. That way, you can save your preferred color+size settings. \u201cReset\u201d resets the plugin\u2019s state to your default preset. \u201cTool Tips\u201d gives you help texts explaining each p<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next-Generation Algorithmic Reverb Make Space For Lushness Crystalline is a new, state-of-the-art, reverb plugin with a pristine and modern sound.
