Michael Sagov launched the GReverb gigantic reverberator plugin as a free release in his Gumroad store.
The indie dev released the plugin for Windows (VST3) and macOS (VST3, AU), with native support for Apple Silicone.
Sagov describes the release as a true algorithmic reverberator that can create supermassive structures or small ambiance.
He describes the algorithm as being based on an FDN structure, which presumably refers to a feedback delay network, which is a method for producing high-quality artificial reverb.
Sagov produced a demo video for YouTube showcasing the sound of GReverb, which he applies to a synth part that, to my ears, is a tad reminiscent of Blade Runner.
Sagov made the plugin available via a ‘name a fair price’ model on his Gumroad account.
Gumroad has a very easy and convenient method for checking out, so I’m always a fan of seeing indie devs use it for distributing plugins.
In the case of GReverb, it’s as easy as ever. Just enter a figure (zero and up) on the product page, then complete the checkout, which only requires an email.
From there, you’ll be presented with a link on the checkout page, which offers you the option of downloading a Zip file or saving it to Dropbox.
The Zip file contains the files needed to install the plugin for macOS and Windows, as well as a readme file with the instructions on how to install the macOS version, which involves using the Terminal.
Windows users don’t get any installation instructions in the readme file (uh oh), but there are only two files in the Windows Zip folder, so presumably, you can just drop it into your plugin folder and load it up in your DAW.
GReverb has a no-frills control scheme with 12 parameters, namely: Mix, Decay, Pre Delay, Size, Mod Rate, Mod Amount, In, Out, Dampening, Brightness, High Cut, and Low Cut.
There’s also a user demo on YouTube that demos the plugin with an electric guitar, which I have to say really shows the ambiance and space you can create using the plugin quite well.
Sagov goes by several names online with his various user accounts linked to his development efforts, including Michael Sa, Misha Sa and Mishikaroo.
He launched GReverb on October 22, 2024, and updated it with a new build on October 28, which added additional parameters.
