03In depth

Spring Reverb Tanks and Sound Character

The reverb is built around three tanks modeled on popular designs. The developer describes the reverb as physically modeled rather than based on impulse responses, simulating the mechanical behavior of springs instead of a recorded sound.

Spring behavior can be shaped through controls such as the twang control, which shakes the springs manually or through modulation and automation. Independent input and feedback routing options allow every possible stereo or mono combination, and a switchable coupling setting lets you choose how strongly the springs interact.

Workflow, Modulation and Control

Twangström offers an LFO with eight waveform types, a variable and syncable time base, and a four-flavour envelope that can follow the input, output or an external sidechain. A comprehensive modulation matrix enables real-time control of the parameters.

Many technical parameters can be controlled via MIDI CC, with an optional 14-bit resolution. The interface resizes instantly from 70% to 200%, and the plugin ships with 76 factory presets that are NKS-compatible for Native Instruments hardware.
