Paragon ST: Stereo Reverb Plugin by NUGEN Audio Free Download

Convolution reverb uses recordings of real spaces, called impulse responses, so it tends to sound realistic but is fixed to the room it was recorded in. Algorithmic reverb is generated mathematically, giving more control over parameters but often sounding less natural.

NUGEN Audio says Paragon ST analyzes, decomposes and re-synthesizes impulse responses to create new spaces. The developer states this avoids the timestretching artifacts that can appear when a convolution reverb adjusts parameters such as room size and decay time.

Paragon ST includes frequency-dependent decay rate, which lets you shape how different frequency ranges fade over time. Configurable crosstalk affects how the stereo channels interact, and HPF and LPF filters let you control the low and high end of the reverb tail.

A spectral analysis view and a compact mode are also included, the latter for a smaller interface footprint in a session.
