01Overview

Temperance Pro is an effects plugin in the reverb category, built around a modal approach rather than a traditional reverb algorithm. Instead of treating a space only as a set of delays and decays, it lets you control how the reverb's energy sits across the 12-note chromatic scale. The developer says the plugin includes 29 spaces, from intimate rooms and halls to synthetic spaces, and a set of extra controls for shaping the reverb's modal behavior.

Shaping Musical Texture in a Modal Reverb

The Temper and Range controls set how much emphasis or de-emphasis is applied to selected notes and which octaves are tempered. Target lets you choose whether tempering happens at the reverb onset (Early), during the tail (Late), or across both (All).

Note Width sets how far each note spreads within the modal field. Lower values give a purer, more focused result, while higher values disperse the note energy for richer, chorused tones. The default of 50% balances focus and dispersal.

Position, Density and Offset add further modal control. Position shifts the balance between early and late reflections, Density removes modes for a more fragmented or lo-fi sound, and Offset moves the center frequencies of all modes by up to ±500Hz.

Note Selection, Sequencing and MIDI Control

The Note Selection panel offers Manual, Sequencer and MIDI modes. Manual mode uses a note-roll style input, and a Choose Scale dropdown highlights chords, scales, modes or intervals in one click.

Sequencer mode lets you program note changes that follow chord progressions, scales or intervals. MIDI mode connects a MIDI device to select notes in real time.

The NoteScape Visualizer shows the reverb's energy as notes bloom or fade, and the Spectrum Analyzer displays the output of all modes across the audio spectrum.
