Nice plugin, great Ui; any reverb with a freeze is a win in my book. Thanks for suggesting it!

Spaceblender [very quick review]

The good:

  • sounds interesting
  • freeze, as Mr Boulé has noted
  • parameters published nicely for CV control

The bad:

  • very high CPU usage…110% for me on M2 macbook (4 'performance 'CPUs) even at idle with no input
  • license is held locally, yet still a lot of iLok logos on the various splash screens when you authenticate, which will give some people the shivers
  • Crashy? A few crashes when initiating or destroying the Host instance during my 5 minutes of experimentation so far

Don’t mean to be particularly negative. I can see plenty of use for it! But the cpu-hunger will be a limiting factor.

I’ve only tried it on a Windows laptop, CPU seemed comparable to other reverbs. I got an M4 Mac Mini recently, will test it on that too. First impressions, I really like it. Of course, I had to combine it with Supermassive and that makes some truly huge ambient soundscapes. Ultramassive maybe? :wink:

This looks interesting, a free polyphonic modal filter effect. Similar to resonators, modal filters are often used for physical modelling. It can process audio or generate sounds too.

Matthias Puech (EnOsc, Tapographic Delay, Parasites, Batumi) is now leading the modernisation of GRM Tools into what appears to be a quite extraordinary sound design platform. Previewing for the first time at Superbooth, due for a September release of an early version, but he says that this is a ten year project.
