23DSP releases Glacial Reverb (VST3/AU)

23DSP has released Glacial Reverb, the independent project of developer Marco Allegretti. The plugin is designed to provide extended control over ambient and cinematic reverbs, combining conventional parameters with features aimed at experimental sound design. Features At its core, Glacial Reverb features a modulated shimmer engine with pitch shifting up to ±12 semitones. Modulation can be tempo-synced, with adjustable depth and rate, allowing reverb tails to evolve and shift dynamically. The plugin also introduces a 'Freeze' mode, which captures a portion of the reverb and sustains it indefinitely. Dedicated mix and level controls enable detailed balancing between the frozen signal and the live input, making it suitable for drones, transitions, and layered textures. In addition to these features, Glacial Reverb provides standard reverb parameters such as Pre-Delay, Decay, and Mix, as well as per-step pitch control and a frequency range filter for shaping the shimmer tone. Pricing and Availability Glacial Reverb is distributed through Gumroad for €15. Read More
