Reviver is a multiband transient shaper plugin from Black Salt Audio that adds punch, definition and warmth to a mix by processing transient and sustained layers separately.
Reviver splits the signal into Low, Mid and High bands with a flat summing multiband splitter, then applies its own detection and processing to each band. The developer says the plugin treats transients separately from sustained material, so you can add attack and presence while the rest of the sound stays intact. It was produced with Michael Wynne of the In The Mix YouTube channel, and Black Salt Audio describes it as a tool for mixing and mastering engineers.
Reviver's Low module adds punch and thump to drums and bass while keeping the source material's integrity. The Mid and High modules each contain two dynamic, variable transient shaper algorithms that add attack, punch and tightness without changing the original character of the sound.
The Low, Mid and High bands are handled independently, so you can shape the low end, the body of a sound and its top end without affecting the others in the same way.
Reviver includes three even saturation algorithms for adding presence and warmth to any sound material. The developer says the harmonic processing is designed to enhance tonal quality without adding unwanted distortion or noise.
Oversampling can be switched on to limit aliasing and keep the original signal intact. Light and Dark modes are included to suit different preferences and working environments.
