A few reverb things i’ve noticed lately:

It’s astounding how different an algorithm can sound when bandpassing its input. Obviously some high and lowpass filtering can clean things up but i’ve gotten interesting results from narrowing the band way down and just cranking the output gain to compensate for the lower signal.

Since embracing a hardware mixer i’ve really enjoyed feeding back reverbs into reverbs. Of course you can setup feedback in a daw but I never really think to do so.

Thanks for those - both ideas sound like a lot of fun, trying out the first as I type!

Let me know how it goes! I adore my erbe-verb, though I really wish it had stereo in sometimes, but oh well. Another thing I remembered is that having the tilt just slightly CW helps when trying to get natural sounding reverbs as it tends to get muddy otherwise.

Oh, and if you ever want to make your music sound like it’s coming from the club next door, turn size all the way CCW and absorb all the way up and listen to only the wet signal. It really sounds like it’s coming through the wall. (Can you tell I’ve spent most of my quaratine with my modular?)

I made an entire album out of a self-oscillating Erbe-Verb being modulated by a few LFOs I fed into Vector Space before patching into Erbe-Verb’s various CV inputs. The recording was built around that and the slow, manual manipulation of the knobs and attenuverters of each parameter. [edit: just remembered that, since I recorded this at @dan_derks’s place, I also had some OTO BAM in the final mix.]

The only other reverb I’m interested in at this point would be a dual spring reverb setup to add to the mix.

@caelmore Have you got a link to the album anywhere? Would love to hear the sounds you got out of it. I’m currently messing around patching just the Erbe and a Wogglebug together then running it through an Analog Heat and getting some crazy textures out of that combo.

@dubiousphil the pitch warble patch was awesome. The second one with the envelopes was great as well, got interesting results putting envelopes into pretty much any of the CV ins. Sending one to the decay as well as a filter cutoff on random notes of a sequence was really nice.

Here’s a link to the thread about it with some patch notes and stuff.

Anyone made a comparison of OTO Bam Vs Eventide H9? I am currently use my h9 as a compressor and have a dilemma of either getting another reverb or good compressor :slight_smile:

If you have an H9 Max you could get the cheapest H9 and still use all your algos on it.

Can i run two H9Max licenses while owning only one H9 max? How does it work?

You register them with Eventide. Once you have one Max, you can just get the cheapest from then on… as long as you sell the Max LAST.
I think it is a 1 Max to 5 licence deal.

I did it with a Max and two Core units. Super easy to register and set them up without any hassle as I remember it. I used the iPad app to control them all and it worked out really well.

H9 Max has incredible quality reverbs, and more than you could ever need. Never tried the Bam.

trying to land a h9 max to go with my h9 - been sooooo close

I remember once they had a sale on upgrading to Max. I tried frantically to score a Standard/Core but couldn’t swing it. Just pointing out there are sometimes deals but afaik it’s not a consistent Black Friday kind of thing.

Requesting help from any of you with an Apple computer and a bit of time! I’ve been using a bunch of Fokke van Saane’s free impulse responses for years, but have never had access to the ones he didn’t convert to wav format. I’m not sure if you also need Altiverb to convert these to .wav files, but he indicates you at least need a Mac, which I do not, nor do any of my friends.

I’m mainly interested in the Streets, Lexicon 200, Roland DEP3, Fostex 3180, and Masterroom II IR’s.

If anybody wants to take the time to convert those, myself and others would be very grateful!

Crazy… Those files are in the SD2 format, which can’t be read by OSX (now “MacOS”) because they have resource forks. But they can be read by an app called Sound Grinder, which will convert them with their folder structure intact to wav. The original files were 48/24. Since I own Sound Grinder and a de-archiver that can read the old Mac stuff-it format (.sit) files, I was able to download and open the sit files and convert them to stereo 48/24 wav files which are here:

I didn’t take too long, once I remembered how it all worked. Enjoy!

Edit: Actually, two of the folders couldn’t be seen by Sound Grinder, so they aren’t present here. They are the Fostex 3180, and Masterroom II IR’s. Oh, well.

  1. Patch a gate into SIZE. Instant whip sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OD-JSc_YiI

  2. Use to cv out into the decay with the attenuverter at 10 or 9 0 clock. Turn the decay all the way up: infinite tails without getting out of control.

  3. Feed the erbeverb back into itself using a mixer and adjust the predelay parameter to use it as an echo

  4. If you feed it back into it self an patch a sequence or s&h to the DRYWET cv input, you can get melodies out of it https://www.instagram.com/p/B2-nAF9ghoM/

  5. You can get more “dreamy” reverb if you put the DEPTH knob to the right, with slow SPEED

Thats what i remember. I sold mine a couple months ago.

Been beta testing this the last few weeks, it’s fantastic!

Thank you so much! Too bad about the spring reverbs but seeing as how the page hasn’t been updated in 16 years it’s lucky we still have access to any of them at all at this point.
