The 1.0.3 version of ValhallaShimmer is provided as a free download on our software library. ValhallaShimmer belongs to Multimedia Tools. This program is a product of Valhalla DSP, LLC. The latest installer takes up 2 MB on disk.
At its core, ValhallaShimmer is a high quality reverberator, designed to produce a smooth decay, that is both dense and colorless. 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: • By adjusting the Feedback, Diffusion and Size controls, the attack, sustain and decay of the reverb signal can be fine tuned. • 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. • 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. In addition, ValhallaShimmer has the ability to pitch shift the feedback signal. There are 5 pitch shift modes available: • Single, where the feedback is shifted up or down by the Shift value.
• Dual, where the feedback is shifted both up and down (in parallel) by the Shift value. Ronan keating when you say nothing at all rapidshare files free. • SingleReverse, where each grain is reversed before it is pitch shifted.
This results in a smoother pitch shifting sound than the Single mode. • DualReverse. Similar to the Dual mode, but with reversed grains, for a smoother pitch shifting sound. • Bypass, which turns off the pitch shifting (useful for “standard” reverb sounds).
I am happy to announce that has been updated to version 1.7.1. The 1.7.1 VintageVerb update is a free update, and is available in the valhalladsp.com user accounts of all people who have purchased a VintageVerb license.
Demo versions can be downloaded from the ValhallaVintageVerb 1.7.1 adds 2 new reverb modes, Chaotic Hall and Chaotic Chamber. These modes are the results of a thought experiment: what would “old school” digital reverb algorithms sound like if they were made using tape delays? The “chaotic” aspects of Chaotic Hall and Chaotic Chamber: • The saturation and pre/de-emphasis are based on tape delays, with a higher internal drive level than the other VintageVerb algorithms. • The digital quantization noise of the “Dirty” algorithms in VintageVerb has been replaced by tape modulation noise, which results in a more broadband spread of frequencies as the reverb decays. • The “random walk” used for chorusing in most of the VintageVerb algorithms has been replaced by a more “chaotic” modulation source. The “chaotic” modulation is closer to the wow/flutter/tape crinkle noise that can be heard in tape echoes, where the wear and tear of the tape loops results in a distinctive pitch modulation.
Chaotic Hall is fairly close to Dirty Hall in its basic structure, just with “chaotic” elements. Chaotic Chamber is closer to the Smooth algorithms, but with the “digital” artifacts of the Smooth algorithms replaced with “analog” artifacts. Economics 4th edition hubbard pdf viewer online. Chaotic Chamber also adds some unique signal dependent diffusion parameters, which results in a clearer sounding reverb tale. When I was adding the chaotic algorithms to VintageVerb, I presumed that the results would be closer to the dark murkiness of tape delays. It turns out that adding chaos to these algorithms resulted in more clarity and transparency in many cases.
There are definitely tape-esque artifacts in the decay, but the analog-style saturation reduces ringing in the tail, and the tape chorusing results in less random pitch shifts than the random walk modulation used in the other modes. The other major change to VintageVerb is a GUI option added to the NOW Color mode. We’ve received a few requests to change the NOW GUI to something darker, to keep it in line with the 70s and 80s modes. Other folks really like bright NOW GUI. The solution was to add a new text field in the upper right corner of the GUI, that is displayed when viewing the NOW mode. Click on the text to select between Brightness (the original white background GUI) or Darkness (the new mode, which is white text against a dark background).
