about the presets and how to use them here. This version fix a bug with the stereo. Sound is also enhanced

Verb ONE (PC /MAC)

Warning : all our products needs the DSPLIB to be installed : please download it here and follow the installation instructions.

The Verb One is our Budget reverb. It is perfect for guitarist, or any solo instruments. It is light on both DSP and PCI, so it leaves you plenty of resources for other devices.

What is the difference with the Verb PRO?

The Verb ONE has been released to demonstrate the technology used in the Verb PRO, and to contribute to help the musicians who are looking for a light-weight low cost reverb to enhance their personal productions in-expensively. Here is a list of the features included in the Verb ONE.

what you will get:

• Stereo enhancer to create a wide stereo effect from a mono source.
• more than 60 type of reverbs in presets.
• You can change the Reverberation time, the Damping, the pre-delay and the reverb color from the front panel.
• a 4 point parametric graphical equalization with Q to change the reverb color.
• 32-bit internal calculation power
• uses less than 1 SHARC DSP.
• Low PCI usage technology. this reverb uses less PCI transfer while having a similar quality.

Installation :
Just copy the .mdl file in your Devices directory (c:\pulsar\devices) and drag & drop it in your project. Connect the "2 IN" in the "Aux Out" and the "2 Out" int the "Aux Return". It works like any effects.

More technical specifications:

This reverb uses less than 1 SHARC. It uses minimal PCI resources, however you may still experience PCI overflow errors, if you try to load 4-5 or more of them at the same time. That's a known problem with the Creamware platform. You can load 3 Verb ONE at the same time in a regular project.

About Presets:

The presets are not just some saved device states. They are truly different. To design them I've carefully tuned the internal parameters and most of the presets can be the starting point of a real new reverb algorythm, that can be changed with the front panel buttons.

Here are some explanation about the most used presets :

Default : this preset is the basic state of the reverb. This preset use a quite plate reverb, with 4 walls at almost equal distance from the sound source, quite far away.

Cathedral : is made of 4 walls very far away (more than 4ms away. The 4 walls are close so it may sound quite metallic if the Time is set very low. 

Medium : is made of 2 walls far away, one wall at middle distance and one wall close to the listener.

Plate : in order to have this little metallic plate feeling we place 4 walls very close (at about 2ms).

Small : the 4 walls are closer, less than 1 ms. The sound is shorter whatever you use the Time button at the max the result will never be long. It may sound a little bit metallic iif you leave the Damp at its max.

Universe : is using 4 walls at more than 5 ms distance. With 4 walls you may listen the delays. It must be used carefully, on synth and pads for example to hide the delays.

Drums : these reverbs are using a metallic material or an wood like material depending on the setup. They are made to be use with a very short Time.

Delayed : these presets are using an internal hidden feature to produce a kind of delay like if you have a sound bouncing on the walls. In fact there is no delay we are just changing the volume with the distance.

Harmo : these setups are using a excessive harmonic distortion to produce effects between chorus, flange and phase. It is like using a Doppler on each wall feedback, changing all the time the sound bounce from a wall to another wall.

Weird : these setups are just impossible to describe. Check them.
