01Overview

Verberate 2 is Acon Digital's reverb effect plugin, built around the Vivid Hall algorithm. Acon Digital says the algorithm models small random variations found in real rooms, such as air currents and moving people, which helps the reverb tail avoid the stiffness often associated with convolution reverbs. The plugin is offered in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats, and includes a trial.

Reverb Algorithms, Decay Control and Plate Modeling

Verberate 2 pairs 15 algorithmic early reflection patterns with a late reverb tail. Two late reverb algorithms are available: the new Vivid Hall and the Legacy Hall from version 1. Vivid Hall is time-variant and resonance-free, and the early reflections and tail have independent processors.

A decay editor lets you set frequency-dependent reverb times, so you can shape how the tail behaves across the spectrum. An integrated output equalizer and a graphical display of the EQ response and frequency-dependent decay times help you see what the settings are doing.

For plate sounds, a Dispersion parameter models the faster travel of high frequencies in metal plates. Used together with the decay editor, it can recreate the longer high-frequency decay of plate reverbs. A Swirl parameter adds the frequency-modulated, cloud-like tails of vintage digital reverb units.

Who Verberate 2 Suits and What It Needs to Run

Verberate 2 suits producers and mixing engineers who want natural-sounding rooms, halls and plates from an algorithmic reverb. Its uncluttered interface and a large set of factory presets make it easier to find a starting point for vocals, drums, strings or full mixes.

It runs on Windows 10, 8 or 7, and on macOS 10.9 or later, including macOS 11 Big Sur on Intel and M1 Macs. The plugin is 64-bit only. Windows needs an Intel Core i3 or AMD multi-core processor, with an Intel Core i5 or faster recommended, at least 1 GB RAM (4 GB recommended), and 1 GB of free disk space. A host that supports VST, VST3 or AAX is required, and Pro Tools 10.3.5 or higher is listed for AAX.

Main Features at a Glance

Verberate 2 includes true stereo processing, dense late reverberation tails and early reflections designed to blend into the mix without comb filter effects. You can save, load and categorize your own presets through the built-in preset manager.

What do I need to run Verberate 2?

You need a host that supports VST, VST3, AU or AAX, depending on your system. Windows requires Windows 10, 8 or 7, and macOS requires 10.9 or later. Pro Tools 10.3.5 or higher is listed for AAX.

What is the Vivid Hall algorithm?

Vivid Hall is the new late reverb algorithm in Verberate 2. Acon Digital describes it as time-variant and resonance-free, adding small random variations to the reverb tail.

Does Verberate 2 include the older reverb algorithm?

Yes. The Legacy Hall algorithm from version 1 is included alongside the new Vivid Hall algorithm.
