01Overview

Toraverb 2 is designed as a concept reverb rather than a copy of a classic spring, room, hall or plate unit. The developer says it uses no off-the-shelf algorithm or impulse response, and that its goal was a reverb that sounds good wherever the controls are set. The plugin pairs a diffusion network with two independent reflection engines, each with its own modulation and parametric EQ, so producers can shape early and late reflections separately. A built-in ducker and tag-based preset browser cover common studio tasks.

Sound Design and Diffusion Character

The core of Toraverb 2 is a high-quality diffusion network. D16 Group describes it as based on modified all-pass filters with fine-tuned parameters, aimed at reducing flutter echo across different sound sources.

Tail modulation is controlled independently for early and late reflections, which changes how reflections are spread over time. The developer presents this as a way to make the tail sound more like sound propagating through a space.

Spatial cross-talk reflections add stereo reflections that move between the two channels, which the developer says helps with localization and a sense of realism.

Workflow, Controls and Mixing Options

Toraverb 2 has two single-band parametric EQs, one for each reflection engine, with low shelf, peak and high shelf options. Each EQ offers three curve types.

An early and late mixer includes balance controls that can work in left/right or mid/side mode, which allows stereo placement or mono low-frequency early reflections while keeping high-mid tails wide.

Pre-delay can be tempo-synced. The built-in ducker reduces the effect signal in proportion to the loudness of the dry input, so a separate sidechain compressor is not required in the effects chain.

05FAQ

Questions, answered

What formats does Toraverb 2 support?

Toraverb 2 is available in VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone formats. It runs on Windows and macOS.

What do I need to use Toraverb 2?

Toraverb 2 is not a standalone program for production use. A host application such as a DAW is required, and the system requirements list supported plugin formats for each operating system.

Which operating systems are supported?

Windows 7 to 10 (32 or 64-bit) and macOS 10.13 to macOS 12 Monterey (64-bit only) are listed. The Mac requirements cover Intel and Apple M1 processors.

Does Toraverb 2 have a built-in ducker?

Yes. The ducker reduces the effect signal in proportion to the loudness of the dry input, so you do not need a separate sidechain compressor in the effects chain.
