Ascent: Dual Hall and Granular Shimmer Reverb by Audio Damage Free Download

The hall reverb and particle reverb run simultaneously rather than as separate effects, so both contribute to the same tail. Resonance Sound describes the particle engine as pitch-shifting from -12 to +12 semitones using two overlapping grains. Audio Damage says this approach is designed to avoid the metallic artifacts found in many shimmer reverbs.

Expanse selects one of three tuned room modes (Small, Medium, or Large). These modes shape the delay network and spatial character of the hall reverb, not only the decay time, which gives you a way to change the feel of the room itself.

Bloom is the main control for shimmer amount, so you can adjust the pitch-shifted layer without changing the hall reverb. The built-in dynamic ducking reduces the reverb tail when transients hit, which helps keep the dry signal present without constant fader adjustments.

Presets use an XML-based format that works across VST3, AU and AAX on every supported operating system, so you do not need to track separate preset folders for each host.
