Eventide has announced availability of the SP2016 Reverb plug-in which recreates a classic collection of reverb algorithms from its history-making SP2016, pro audio’s first rack-mount multi-effects processor.
Revered for its signature reverbs by mix and recording engineers like Mick Guzauski, Roy Hendrickson, George Massenburg, Dave Pensado, and Allen Sides, and others, the SP2016 can be heard on countless hit records, from Madonna to Mariah Carey and Adele to Emimen.
“The classic Eventide SP2016 has always been my go-to reverb,” says mix engineer Dave Pensado. “It has the unique ability to make vocals, instruments, and drums sit perfectly in a mix. The new SP2016 plug-in now gives us all access to this incredible reverb, and no one is happier about this than me!”
The SP2016 Reverb Plug-In features three distinct reverb types, each available in two versions: Vintage and Modern. The Modern algorithms are brighter, more diffused, and use higher bit resolution.
The first reverb type is Room – a basic “no-nonsense, no-frills ambient ‘room’”. The extreme Pre-Delay range makes it possible to use this effect for reverberant doubling and single echoes.The Stereo Room reverb type recreates the ambience of a large concert hall, with “very clear, natural reverberation”.
The third SP2016 Plug-In reverb type is the Hi-Density Plate, a reverb with virtual dual pickups simulating the effect of a big, heavy plate and said to allow engineers to make vocals, guitars and percussive instruments appear much bigger and brighter than they actually are.
Users can control the structure of the reverb by fine-tuning the controls (available across all reverb types) including PREDELAY, DECAY, POSITION, and DIFFUSION. The SP2016 Reverb Plug-In’s POSITION control allows the positioning of a listener’s perspective from the back of the room all the way to the stage while retaining all other settings. An EQ section allows for simple high and low filtering of the reverb with adjustable filter ranges. The low filter can be used to cut or boost at the specified frequency.
