Im proud of the results, and am excited to hear what you will create with this tool. The algorithms in ValhallaShimmer are the results of over a decade of research into both reverberation algorithms and pitch shift algorithms. the decay rate EQ, which allows you to control the EQ of the decay tail. At the same time, the algorithm has been highly optimized, so you get a huge reverb sound without straining your CPU. Reverb Foundry HD Cart - Exponential Audio R4 - Valhalla DSP Reverbs. All of the sliders have a smoothed response, to avoid clicks when changing settings or automating the controls. ValhallaShimmer has been designed to be tweaked in real time. A wide variety of other sounds can be created by the algorithm, ranging from spring-esque reverbs to 'reverse' reverbs, to glistening pitch shifted pads that are usually associated with high end hardware processors. * Bypass, which turns off the pitch shifting (useful for standard reverb sounds).īy setting the Shift amount to +12 semitones, and the Feedback to 0.5 or greater, the classic shimmer sound is produced, as heard on Eno / Lanois productions for U2 and others. Similar to the Dual mode, but with reversed grains, for a smoother pitch shifting sound. This results in a smoother pitch shifting sound than the Single mode. This controls the decay time of the midrange, which is defined differently for the different reverb modes. * SingleReverse, where each grain is reversed before it is pitch shifted. * Dual, where the feedback is shifted both up and down (in parallel) by the Shift value. There are 5 pitch shift modes available: * Single, where the feedback is shifted up or down by the Shift value. In addition, ValhallaShimmer has the ability to pitch shift the feedback signal. At its core, ValhallaShimmer is a high quality reverberator. * Two tone controls and the Color Mode selector allow the timbre to be adjusted from bright and glistening to a more natural dark decay, similar to that produced by air absorption in large spaces. Best for Ethereal decay and pitch shifting soundscapes. * The modulation controls can be set to produce subtle mode thickening, glistening string ensemble-esque decays, and the distinctive random modulation of the older Lexicon hall algorithms. Features: * By adjusting the Feedback, Diffusion and Size controls, the attack, sustain and decay of the reverb signal can be fine tuned. There are several reverberation modes available, to allow the user to dial in reverb decays of different sizes, ranging from smaller rooms to vast ambiences. At its core, ValhallaShimmer is a high quality reverberator, designed to produce a smooth decay, that is both dense and colorless. From concert halls to the Taj Mahal to the Halls of Valhalla. The classic Eno/Lanois “shimmer” sound is produced.Īn algorthimic reverb designed for BIG sounds. You can use this with or without the soft piano, so you can use your own piano plugin if that's what you prefer.This is generated by the keygen. If you'd like to have something that works out of the box, the products mentioned above will also work, but you can use Spitfire Audio's Originals Cinematic Soft Piano, which has a pad layer. Valhalla Shimmer provides a combination of reverberation and pitch shifting, inspired by the sound of some 1980s Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois collaborations. This is of course not a requirement, use whatever works for you. Valhalla ÜberMod is a plugin which is geared towards delay effects, but can also create reverberant effects. Each has a specific function, and turning one even slightly can drastically. This little guy comes packaged with nine flexible adjustable knobs, that are able to be tweaked in real time without clipping your sound. Then, since I like to add some extra movement and I'm not a fan of shimmery reverbs for this specific task, I use Things - Texture by AudioThing. Valhalla Shimmer is an algorithmic reverb designed for BIG sounds, from concert halls to the Taj Mahal to the Halls of Valhalla. As a bonus, having some reverb pitch modulation is great for some movement. Seventh Heaven is also a great reverb choice, so are Valhalla's reverbs, but in theory any quality reverb should do. It needs plenty of reverb as mentioned before, R2 has a dark hall preset which can be customized to taste (I usually increase the size, and pull back on the send level). I usually set the color to be darker, and use its built-in formant shift feature to further tune the sound.
