SuperflyDSP releases Flying-Reverb, a freeware reverb effect for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Who doesn’t love reverbs? You’re literally soaking in the ambiance of a room right now, so I know you do.
Anyways, if you’re after a fun new reverb, why not look at Flying-Reverb by SuperflyDSP?
This is a super simple reverb on the surface, providing access to a dozen readily usable reverb algorithms. Parameters are kept to a minimum, so you’re using the reverb rather than getting into just tweaking the sound for a perfect fit.
There is a rather sonorous hall and temple algorithm, which aren’t close to the real world, but are a wonderful synthetic representation of the spaces themselves.
Additionally, there is also a shimmer, which is extremely rare to find a free reverb.
This is a nice shimmer, too, well suited for gentle pads and volume-swelled guitar leads. You’ll find halls, rooms, and plates galore, but the more sound design options aren’t out there usually.
If you’re in love with ambient sound creation, each of the reverbs can be frozen. You can make some absurdly dense soundscapes just by playing into this. Freeze options in reverbs are also a major bonus for me, even if I use them sparingly.
Flying-Reverb has a clean interface with a nice blue background and high-contrast text that is easy to read. You get a nice visual display sitting in the center of the interface, which visualizes the effect and the sound spectrum of the input.
All said, I think this is a wonderful free reverb and a welcome addition to anyone’s already swollen reverb folder. There are, of course, dozens of other options I’d love to see, but I am a huge fan of plugins that just get the effect done and get out of the way.
Flying-Reverb is free to download and is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac computers. Supported plugin formats are VST3 and AU.
It is a universal binary for Mac computers, so Silicon and Intel users can get in on all the fun. You will need a 64-bit host to run it, regardless of operating system.

onIf you happen to hate reverbs, you can always try SmartElectronix’ AnechoicRoomSimulator plugin… ;-)

onI didn’t expect the shimmer pitchshifter to go one octave …below! That’s a weird way to shimmer, but it’s a nice twist.
Classic mode works fine, but Lost and Shimmer sometimes introduce some weird gatey-pumpey effect when the sound isn’t 100% wet on my setup. I’ll try another computer later, just in case.
