I will certainly consider those very carefully, as I first reflect on ho… okay, yeah, I will probably start by cranking the knobs and come back to this: It’s worth reading the full notes on the update, which goes into more sound design tips. (Of course, you can pay for the other Valhalla plug-ins, and they’re all quite affordable.) ValhallaSupermassive is a plug-in you’d probably pay for, if it weren’t already free. That brings the grand total of algorithms up to a whopping 18. Every delay within the Libra mode is filtered by Low EQ and High EQ filters within the feedback paths. The DENSITY control will start to bring in shorter recirculating delays, and is very useful in smoothing out the reverb attack and decay. Turn up the WARP control, and Libra quickly transforms into a very lush reverb, with balanced modulation. The Libra mode in ValhallaSupermassive has a somewhat slower attack than Scorpio, and can sound like a delay at 4X the displayed DELAY length when WARP and DENSITY are both at zero. Libra is “the best mode … for lush modulated reverbs with a natural decay.” The Low EQ and High EQ filters in Scorpio are included within the feedback paths, versus outside the feedback path like in the Gemini mode. The feedback path in Scorpio is very different than Gemini with lower DENSITY settings, and can sound like a complex ping-pong delay. The Scorpio mode is similar to the Gemini mode in many ways: fast attack, rapid build of echo density, more of a “conventional” reverb.

Scorpio riffs on Gemini, but with a complex feedback network that delivers stereo width and “a more ‘open’ frequency response” ideally suited for realistic reverbs and reverbs that have easily tamed low ends: Plus, remember that Max for Live wrapper that lets it run like a native Live device? That got an update, too.įirst up – the new modes. The lush, free plug-in Supermassive is turning 2.5 years old, with its wonderfully sumptuous reverb/delays, celebrating with two new modes, Scorpio and Libra.
