ShimmerVerb by Eventide
Ethereal Reverb with Pitch Shifting Move Toward the Light ShimmerVerb combines a massively lustrous reverb with parallel pitch shifters to add ethereal layers making any signal, well, “shimmer.” Oftentimes, producers would achieve the effect by using Eventide pitch shifting hardware, such as the H910 or H3000, in combination with a reverb. This production technique was popularized by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno on U2’s The Unforgettable Fire. Now, this iconic sound has been refined and extended with a modern, unified interface that is great for adding dreamy ambiance to guitars, keys, synths, samples, and vocals. In typical Eventide fashion, features have been added such as the ability to infinitely feedback the signal, resulting in cascading reverbs that smear into oblivion. Feedback can be further fine-tuned by specifying which frequencies are fed back through the low/mid/high cross-over network. Tweak it Live ShimmerVerb shines via its playable, performance-based parameters. THE RIBBON allows users to morph between two settings with one control. Plug in a MIDI keyboard and gain tactile command over this function via the modulation wheel. Ribbon mappings are great for Feedback swells, moving the Pitch knobs, or changing the Size for a massive detuning result. ShimmerVerb also boasts a HOTSWITCH for calling up another state of parameters inside the same preset. Change octaves, turn off/on the pitch shifters, or simply turn the Mix up or down while crafting your performance. FREEZE allows you to make smeared textures out of single voices, full pads, or percussive elements resulting in metallic “shimmers.” Features Unique reverb plug-in with parallel pitch shifters on the reverb tail Easily pitch with perfect fourths, fifths, and octaves MicroPitch tuning available around perfect intervals Four octaves of pitch shifting (from two octaves down to two octaves up) Delay pitched signals up to one second or sync them to your DAW’s tempo FEEDBACK determines how much delayed signal is fed back into the input of the reverb Low, Mid, and High cross-over network determines which frequencies are fed back FREEZE holds the current state of the reverb in a smeared texture The RIBBON allows for real-time modification of several parameters at once HOTSWITCH allows for instant switching between two sets of parameters within one preset Artist Presets: Ronit Kirchman Ronit Kirchman is a composer, music producer, songwriter, conductor, singer, and multi-instrumentalist.
