01Overview

Deep Waters 2 takes a different approach to reverb by building a small map of spaces instead of loading one static room. Up to four nodes sit on a 2D pad, and moving the cursor between them blends the reverbs in real time. The developer's water-based spaces draw on 83 water environments, including streams, rain, waterfalls, oceans and drops, while a prompt-driven AI Texture engine creates new reverb characters from plain-language descriptions.

Three Reverb Engines and the 2D Morph Pad

Each node on the pad can use one of three engines: Algorithmic, Neural IR or AI Texture. The Algorithmic engine is a feedback-delay-network reverb driven by neural water parameters, built for long ambient tails, modulation and freeze. Neural IR generates impulse responses from learned water identities for cinematic and convolution-style spaces.

The cursor can be moved by hand or set to move on its own with a built-in LFO offering Sine, Triangle, Square and Random shapes. Per-node controls for Spread, Pre-Delay, Damping and Tone let you shape each space before blending.

Prompt-Based Reverb Textures and Sound Design Use

The AI Texture engine turns short prompts, such as a train station after midnight, into playable reverb textures. Prompts are processed locally on your machine, and generated textures can be saved to an AI Textures library for recall later.

A built-in Freeze holds reverb tails for sustained textures, and an FX panel with Chorus, Diffusion and Tape Delay adds color on the wet path. The developer positions the plugin for imagined, cinematic and atmospheric spaces rather than exact recreations of real rooms.
