Baby Audio has launched Crystalline, an innovative algorithmic reverb plugin designed for modern music producers. This unique tool emulates the lush, synthetic sounds of digital studio reverbs popular in the 1970s and 1980s, offering enhanced control compared to historical units.
Features of Crystalline
Crystalline allows users to adjust size and length independently, enabling the creation of various atmospheres, from expansive rooms with short tails to confined spaces with prolonged reverberation. Its pre-delay and decay settings can be synchronized with a DAW’s tempo, ensuring seamless integration with music tracks.
To maintain a clean mix, Crystalline includes several specialized tools. These features comprise a ducker that reduces reverb during the dry signal, damping filters, and a Sides filter that confines the reverb’s low frequencies to mono. There are also smoothing options to minimize harsh frequencies and a gate to achieve the characteristic gated reverb sound of the 1980s.
Sound Design Capabilities
This plugin also boasts sound design tools, including shimmer effects, modulation options, reverse functions, and a freeze button to hold the tail of the reverb. With over 300 presets available from Baby Audio and notable producers, users are equipped with ample resources for creative exploration.
Pricing and Compatibility
Crystalline is available for a promotional price of $5 at Plugin Boutique, reduced from its original price of $99. The plugin is compatible with VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats and supports macOS 10.11 or later, including Apple Silicon, as well as Windows 10 or later.
