Make room for your sound. Some decorate. Others redefine.
Walls is a unique and versatile algorithmic space effect, an exploration of sound deconstructing the traditional ideas of what a reverb can be. A bendable structure, on the edge of texture.
Shape a space for your sound. Stretch it, scale it, tilt it. All sounds are welcome.
Six acoustic modes, each with its own character. A clean, responsive interface that invites movement over measurement. From grounded realism to bending, impossible geometries – Walls adapts to your sound, and how you choose to inhabit it.
Shape a room your sound belongs in. Or one that’s never existed before. From soft, natural reflections to abstract geometries, Walls gives sound a place.
Sweden based software company Klevgrand presents Revolv, a unique reverb plugin like no other, emerging directly from our cultural and sonic heritage. Whether you place your mix in a peaceful forest, an ancient ruin, or a sweaty sauna, Revolv’s impulse responses capture the unique ambiance of each location. Explore historically and acoustically unique spaces like the medieval Gotland ruins or Uppsala Cathedral, meticulously recorded to give your audio a sense of depth and authenticity that sets it apart.
A labor of love (and obsession)
At the heart of Revolv is the dedication of our close friend and sound designer Oscar Björk, who embarked on an epic journey across Sweden in a project called “Echoes of Our Time”, capturing the unique acoustic fingerprints of a diverse selection of handpicked locations. His passion for preserving the soul and sound of these locations has resulted in an extraordinary collection of impulse responses, each a testament to his painstaking efforts and deep appreciation for Sweden’s acoustic heritage.
Wheels of time and space
Revolv features an innovative design, revolving around “location wheels” and a loupe selector. Simply move the selector around the wheels to change location and sound. Each location also offers a detailed view where you can learn more about the site and customize the decay, predelay, and width, as well as adjust your microphone preference and recording distance. Six wheels are available, each representing a group of locations, ranging from rare and quirky to epic halls.
No AI, Just Pure Acoustics
A convolution reverb blends your audio with an impulse response (IR) from a real acoustic space. Revolv simplifies this complex process, offering a user-friendly interface and an extensive variety of authentic environments.
Revolv’s impulse responses are hand-recorded and processed (no AI involved). Each IR is a genuine audio snapshot of a space’s natural acoustics, ensuring that the reverb you add to your recordings is as real and rich as the location itself. This authenticity makes Revolv an invaluable tool for musicians, sound designers, and audio engineers, particularly in fields like film and video game sound design where convincing space replication is key. Each location has a unique acoustic character, and the diversity caters for many different creative ideas.
Despite convolution reverbs being resource-heavy, Revolv is designed for efficient performance without sacrificing quality.

TimeVerb-X is a new plugin from GSi that combines GSi’s “classic” Type4 spring reverb, first released in 2008, and a new algorithmic digital reverb. The “Type4” spring reverb emulation was originally inspired by an Accutronics reverb tank type 4, like those used in classic Hammond organs of the A100 series, also used in many famous electric guitar amplifiers. The digital reverb, instead, was first developed for the GSi Gemini sound module, but was also included in some Crumar hardware instruments. Both effects have been slightly expanded and further improved for the release of TimeVerb-X, as the spring reverb now features a self-oscillating feedback decay adjustment and a stereo width knob, and the digital reverb includes the early reflections section that was missing in the original project. Both reverbs put together make up a great sound when working in parallel, and create some interesting atmospheres when working in series.
TimeVerb-X app
TimeVerb-X main features:
– Spring reverb “Type 4” with feedback and stereo operation
– Digital reverb with pre-delay, early reflections and room size adjustment
– Built-in programmer with unlimited number of Programs (comes with 16 factory Programs)
– Integrated user’s manual
– Comes with AUv3 extension

2 PITCH SHIFTER STAGES:
– Two different pitch shifters each offer 3 pitch-shifting modes:
• PRE (signal is pitch shifted and sent directly into the reverb stage)
• POST (reverberated signal is pitch-shifted)
• FEEDBACK (reverberated signal is pitch-shifted and fed back again into the reverb stage)
– Each Pitch Shifter can be tuned with
• Pitch control [-24st; +24st]
• Fine control [-0,5st; +0,5st]
• Delay Time control
• Amount slider
REVERB STAGE:
• Room size control
• Color parameter (control the reverb’s high frequencies)
• Reverb Room Size modulation (amount and rate)
• Length control (200ms – 30s)
DUCKER STAGE:
• The ducker compresses the output signal using the dry signal as sidechain to bring more clarity
• Compressor parameters: Threshold, Attack and Release.
• Visual Input Sidechain Meter
MIX STAGE:
• Dry/Wet Mix
