Primavera: Spring Reverb Plugin by Pulsar Audio Free Download

Primavera includes six spring tanks. Great British Spring is the cleanest option and suits vocals and other parts that need to sit above the mix. HR12 is a lo-fi tank with little low end, so the initial spring attack stands out. SR202 sounds darker, with prominent beats in the tail, and RE201 is the most versatile, with dense, diffuse tails for many sources. Tubby gives a round, watery dub sound, and Twang draws on the guitar amplifiers that popularized spring reverb.

For tone, a Drive knob adjusts the tube stage, and you can switch between Germanium and Tube saturation modes to add grit to the tail. Built-in EQ filters let you blend or sculpt the reverb.

The Tension knob changes the physical model of the springs, producing a softer or higher-pitched character. The Excitation knob triggers spring strikes as the input passes through, a feature you can use for creative sound design. The developer also notes that the springs can be hit and shaken by hand, or moved with modulation and automation.

Ducking reduces reverb level based on the input or sidechain signal, which keeps dense reverb from clashing with other elements. A Presence control boosts a chosen frequency range to help the reverb stand out in the mix. Predelay, Decay and Width complete the timing and stereo controls.
