Eventide Audio Introduces Temperance™ Pro

A Professional Musical Reverb Built on Modal Technology

Today Eventide Audio announced the release of Temperance™ Pro. Building on the revolutionary foundation of Temperance Lite, which introduced the world's first musical reverb, Temperance Pro adds 29 modal spaces, advanced sequencing capabilities, MIDI control, and specialized modal and temper controls for transforming your spaces in ways that were previously not possible.

Temperance Pro speaks the language of music, operating on the 12-note chromatic scale, letting users create spaces that feel musically intentional rather than incidental. This unique modal approach models reverb as collections of thousands of independent resonators, each one adjustable in real-time for unprecedented ways to shape space.

Pete Bischoff, the Product Owner said of the plug-in “Temperance impresses me on so many levels. The notion that you can recreate a room from thousands of individual resonances, complete with delays, flutters, and other nuances intact just blows my mind. The engineer in me can't figure out how Eventide got them to cooperate so perfectly and how they managed to squeeze them all into a real time effect. The musician in me giggles at the thought of the sheer number of tiny "instruments" playing in concert and what novel sound avenues they could explore.”

Woody Herman, Sr. DSP Engineer with Eventide added, "I've always enjoyed Eventide's willingness to try something different. As an engineer, it's especially rewarding to work on a project that tries to re-think something we've known about and used for a long time. Temperance is a different way of thinking about reverb that I think is new, fun, and hopefully leads people to make creative decisions they normally wouldn't.”

Temperance Pro introduces two controls for advanced shaping of musical texture. Target Select controls when tempering happens in time, choosing whether selected notes bloom with early reflections, with the late reflections during the reverb tail, or both. Note Width defines how many nearby modes are included in each note, with lower settings offering more musical precision and higher settings affecting more of the overall reverb for broader, more pronounced results.

Three powerful note selection methods add depth and creative potential. Manual Mode offers note-roll style input with instant access to chords, scales, modes, or intervals through the Choose Scale dialog. Sequence Mode programs note changes to follow chord progressions with adjustable beat grid and session offset for precise timeline positioning. MIDI Mode provides real-time keyboard control with Octave Repeat, offering an immediate and tactile way to work, whether performing live or sketching ideas in the studio.

Three unique modal controls offer unprecedented ways of shaping space. Position adjusts the balance between early and late reflections, working independently from tempering. Density controls how many modes are active, from full quality reverb to progressively fragmented, lo-fi tones. Offset shifts the center frequencies of all modes by up to ±500Hz independent of temper settings, changing the pitch of the entire space for dramatic results.

Temperance Pro delivers 29 spaces spanning intimate rooms, grand halls, lush mechanical reverbs, and experimental synthetic spaces. The collection includes faithful recreations of legendary acoustic spaces, including several designed by acoustics pioneer Ralph Kessler, alongside original creations built specifically to showcase modal reverb technology.

The plug-in features over 120 creative and production-focused presets including 11 tutorial presets. Professional features include ultra-low latency suitable for live performance, fully automatable controls, Dual Mono mode, A/B comparison states, and Eco Mode for CPU optimization.

Temperance Pro is available for $179 MSRP from Eventide Audio and authorized dealers worldwide. Crossgrade from Temperance Lite is also available for $79. The plug-in supports AAX 64-bit, AU 64-bit, and VST3 64-bit formats on Windows 10+ and macOS 10.14+.
