We’ve received a few requests to change the NOW GUI to something darker, to keep it in line with the 70s and 80s modes. The other major change to VintageVerb is a GUI option added to the NOW Color mode. There are definitely tape-esque artifacts in the decay, but the analog-style saturation reduces ringing in the tail, and the tape chorusing results in less random pitch shifts than the random walk modulation used in the other modes. It turns out that adding chaos to these algorithms resulted in more clarity and transparency in many cases. When I was adding the chaotic algorithms to VintageVerb, I presumed that the results would be closer to the dark murkiness of tape delays. Chaotic Chamber also adds some unique signal dependent diffusion parameters, which results in a clearer sounding reverb tale. Chaotic Chamber is closer to the Smooth algorithms, but with the “digital” artifacts of the Smooth algorithms replaced with “analog” artifacts. The “chaotic” modulation is closer to the wow/flutter/tape crinkle noise that can be heard in tape echoes, where the wear and tear of the tape loops results in a distinctive pitch modulation.Ĭhaotic Hall is fairly close to Dirty Hall in its basic structure, just with “chaotic” elements. The “random walk” used for chorusing in most of the VintageVerb algorithms has been replaced by a more “chaotic” modulation source.The digital quantization noise of the “Dirty” algorithms in VintageVerb has been replaced by tape modulation noise, which results in a more broadband spread of frequencies as the reverb decays.The saturation and pre/de-emphasis are based on tape delays, with a higher internal drive level than the other VintageVerb algorithms.The “chaotic” aspects of Chaotic Hall and Chaotic Chamber: These modes are the results of a thought experiment: what would “old school” digital reverb algorithms sound like if they were made using tape delays? ValhallaVintageVerb 1.7.1 adds 2 new reverb modes, Chaotic Hall and Chaotic Chamber. Demo versions can be downloaded from the main product page. The 1.7.1 VintageVerb update is a free update, and is available in the user accounts of all people who have purchased a VintageVerb license. I am happy to announce that ValhallaVintageVerb has been updated to version 1.7.1.
