Discover the Ethereal Ambiance of ShimmerVerb
ShimmerVerb is a unique reverb plug-in that combines a lush reverb with parallel pitch shifters to create mesmerizing and shimmering layers of sound. This effect, popularized by renowned producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno on U2's The Unforgettable Fire, was traditionally achieved using Eventide pitch shifting hardware like the H910, H949, or H3000 in combination with a reverb unit. Now, Eventide brings this iconic sound to your fingertips with a modern and unified interface, allowing you to add dreamy ambiance to guitars, keys, synths, samples, and vocals with ease.
Unleash Your Creativity with ShimmerVerb In true Eventide fashion, ShimmerVerb offers a range of features and capabilities to take your sound to new heights. You can infinitely feedback the signal, creating cascading reverbs that gradually blur into oblivion. The feedback can be finely tuned by specifying which frequencies are fed back through the low/mid/high cross-over network, giving you precise control over the tonal characteristics of the effect.
Playable Performance-Based Parameters ShimmerVerb provides intuitive and expressive controls for shaping your sound. The Ribbon, an easy-to-program performance macro, allows you to morph between two settings using a single control. If you're using the plug-in on your desktop, you can connect a MIDI keyboard and use the modulation wheel to command this function with tactile precision. Ribbon mappings are ideal for creating feedback swells, manipulating the Pitch knobs, or introducing massive detuning effects by adjusting the Size parameter. Additionally, ShimmerVerb features a Hotswitch that enables you to instantly switch between two sets of parameters within a single preset. This functionality is perfect for changing octaves, toggling the pitch shifters on or off, or adjusting the Mix parameter while crafting your performance. Finally, the Freeze button lets you transform single voices, full pads, or percussive elements into smeared textures with metallic shimmers.
The Power of Parallel Pitch Shifters ShimmerVerb's standout feature is its parallel pitch shifters, which operate on the reverb tail. You can easily pitch your signal in perfect fourths, fifths, and octaves, opening up a world of harmonic possibilities. MicroPitch tuning is also available, allowing you to fine-tune the pitch around perfect intervals. With four octaves of pitch shifting, ranging from two octaves down to two octaves up, you have extensive control over the tonal transformation of your sound. Furthermore, you can delay the pitched signals by up to one second or synchronize them to your DAW's tempo, ensuring tight integration with your music.
