FS FreezeVerb Audio Unit
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , ,

FS FreezeVerb is a lush sounding stereo reverb, perfect for both subtle ambience and cavernous reverberation. With its clear and simple design, FS FreezeVerb makes it easy for users to dial in their ideal reverb settings – complete with a visualisation of the virtual room. The Dampen function lets users vary the damping within their virtual room – lower settings mean less damping, making the room’s walls more reflective.

The app’s defining feature, however, is its Freeze Mode. When turned on, the reverb signal at that particular moment is ‘frozen’ and continues indefinitely – perfect for creating ambient soundscapes and unique textures.

FS FreezeVerb can be used as standalone application or can be used as an Audio Unit.

Features:
– Stereo Width control
– Room Size slider with room size visualisation
– Freeze Mode
– Dampen control to alter the reverb’s tonal characteristic
– Wet/dry mix control
– Clean and simple design
– Runs on both iPad and iPhone
– Selection of factory presets (when used as an Audio Unit)
