It mellows out harshness and gives Crystalline a more subtle feel. “Smoothing” gradually applies an EQ-curve custom-designed to address the frequency areas that tend to get resonant and sharp. “Tone” is a tilt EQ that lets you quickly shift the frequency balance of the reverb to brighter or darker. The gate offers ‘threshold’ and ‘release’ controls and makes it fast and intuitive to make your snares go “Phil Collins”. “Gate” lets you instantly recreate the classic 1980s gated reverb sound. This is especially helpful for creating wide vocal or lead instrument reflections without muddying-up your low end. “Sides” is a high-pass filter that removes stereo information from the low end of the reverb, while keeping the mono-information intact. This control offers a fast way to get rid of clutter and muddiness in your mixes. “Damping” is a dual filter control that lets you remove high and low frequency content from the reverb reflections. Please note that if Shimmer is active, the high frequencies will decay later than your specified reverb “End Time” (either at 2x, 4x or 6x the length). You can set the frequency cutoff point as well as the multiplier effect, which controls how much longer it takes for the higher frequencies to decay. “Shimmer” makes the high frequencies of the reverb tail decay slower than the rest of the spectrum, giving the reflections an ‘angelic halo’ effect. This results in a richer sound that works especially well to fatten up synths, guitars and vocals. ”Modulation” creates pitch variations inside the reverb algorithm. More complex settings will give you an ultra-clean reverb response, free of metallic artifacts – while the ‘Basic’ setting will give you an efficient CPU performance at a normal fidelity. “Resolution” sets the complexity of the algorithm from ‘basic’ to ‘pristine’. ”Width” lets you set the stereo image of the reverb from mono to wide – and even further to extra wide. This generates reflections that are naturally brighter, which will help you achieve that extra shine on vocals or snares. “Sparkle” emphasizes high frequencies inside the reverb algorithm. This control is detached from the “Length” control, meaning you can get any size/length combination you want, including esoteric settings like huge spaces with very short tails or tiny spaces with very long tails. ”Size” lets you set the room size from tiny to large. Prefer the classic way? Just hit the “Sync/MS” switch and Crystalline lets you set pre-delay and decay times in milliseconds instead. This will generally result in cleaner mixes where the envelope of the reflections is naturally in sync with the music. Crystalline lets you sync the reverb attack and decay time to your DAW’s tempo. ![]()
