Frankenverb, crafted by Alter of Wisdom, is a reverb plugin that pushes the boundaries of traditional reverb effects. Designed with two unique algorithms, Frankenverb offers an extensive range of control over your reverb parameters, allowing for both subtle ambiance and massive, cavernous spaces. Its user interface is intuitive, making it accessible for quick tweaks or deep dives into complex sound design. Whether you're looking to add a touch of space or completely transform your audio, Frankenverb is equipped to deliver.

Reverb Types:

A regular room reverb, that can be configured from tiny little metallic boxes with maximum resonance to giant halls with indistinct reflections and maximum density.
A shimmer/blackhole reverb that is placed after the reverb to generate pitched versions of it.

Highlights:

A pre-delay that is useable both in time mode or beat synced.
A stereo wideness setting, from mono to super wide.
An internal compressor to tame possible resonances and volume changes when modulating parameters.
An additional ducking compressor that allows to pull the reverb down when incoming audio is received.

Frankenverb isn't just another reverb plugin; it's a tool for sonic exploration. Beyond its ability to create lush, atmospheric reverbs, Frankenverb excels in pushing the envelope with experimental soundscapes. Its capability to produce dense, layered textures with an extremely long tail opens the door to creative possibilities that traditional reverb plugins can't match. The beat-synced pre-delay is a powerful feature, allowing you to lock the reverb's onset to your track's tempo, which is incredibly useful for maintaining rhythmic precision while adding depth and space to your mix. With Frankenverb, you can venture into uncharted territory, transforming ordinary sounds into evolving, otherworldly experiences that travel throughout an entire recording, adding depth and dimension to your music like never before.
