![]() And at the top of its range, this decay time jumps to infinty as Aaltoverb’s freeze function is seamlessly faded in. The decay control works in tandem with the size control to set an accurate T60 (the number of seconds it takes for a sound to decay by 60 decibels) for any space, even the weird ones. With longer decay times, weird spring-like beasties can be found along the way. So a giant room can turn smoothly into a small and natural sounding chamber, and then into a tiny and very unnatural resonator. But instead of a single speed, the shift applies to the whole acoustic space, vibrating “air” and all. This results in in pitch shifting that is reminiscent of what tape delays do when the speed changes. ![]() We've already mentioned Aaltoverb’s most remarkable trick: you can smoothly change the size of the virtual space that the sound is reverberating in. Our focus as a company is always on new tools for performance, so we thought: what additional features would a performance reverb have? Aalto’s reverb is meant to sound good as part of Aalto, but like the spring reverbs in our favorite vintage synthesizers that inspired it, it’s not at all flexible. We made Aaltoverb after hearing from people who wanted to use the reverb from our synthesizer Aalto as a standalone effect.
