Reverb Foundry Tai Chi
Flagship surround-capable chorused reverb has sound design tools built in, making it highly manipulatable and flexible
24 November 2021
Software company Reverb Foundry announces their new flagship reverb, Tai Chi. Combining newly developed DSP with a unique and creative set of audio crafting tools and techniques, Tai Chi seeks to redefine the sound design standards of reverb technology while integrating high levels of control over fidelity and dynamics.
At the heart of Tai Chi is a Feedback Delay Network engine, creating an incredibly thick, rich and luscious chorus unlike any other reverb.
Tai Chi’s most unique feature is an imaginative and useful set of onboard sound design options that are fully integrated into the reverb itself. These include dynamics processors, multi-band filters and fidelity tools. The onboard compressor and ducker can be set to control the late reverb while preserving the integrity of critical early reflections.
Up to four bands of multi-band reverb decay time allow surgical sonic sculpturing beyond standard reverb contouring controls, bringing the ability to take the spectral shape of the decay into all sorts of interesting places.
The bit-crushing and density controls deliver the grit and dirt that gave vintage reverbs their character and flavour, while providing the option to apply signal degradation to different elements such as the reflections or the tail, or apply the master EQ’s low / high roll-off and shelving filters.
Tai Chi Lite boasts the same chorused sound engine as Tai Chi, but in exchange for a more affordable sticker price drops the surround, dynamics, multi-band and some of the fidelity tools.
Tai Chi supports channel counts up to 7.1.2. Tai Chi Lite is a stereo reverb processor.
Tai Chi is available now for US$199 in AU, VST 2, VST3 and AAX formats on Mac and PC.
Tai Chi Lite is also available now for US$99.
