Tverb | Eventide Details
The Eventide Tverb Plug-in is a unique reverb processor developed in collaboration with legendary producer Tony Visconti. Inspired by the iconic recording techniques used during David Bowie's "Heroes" sessions at Berlin's Hansa Studios, Tverb emulates the three-microphone setup and room ambiance of the Meistersaal concert hall. This plug-in offers an innovative approach to reverb, combining multiple virtual microphones, dynamic gating, and room simulation to create rich, evolving spatial effects.
Key Features of the Tverb Plug-in
- Three Virtual Microphones: Simulate a close mic with selectable polar patterns (omni, cardioid, figure-8) and two movable room mics capturing the lush ambiance of the Meistersaal.
- Dynamic Gating: Adjustable gates on the room mics open based on input signal thresholds, allowing the reverb to respond dynamically to performance intensity.
- Analog-Modeled Compression: Built-in compressor on the close mic channel, replicating the original session's dynamics processing.
- Customizable Room Simulation: Control decay, diffusion, and frequency response to tailor the virtual room's characteristics.
- Console-Style Interface: Inspired by the Neve console used in the original sessions, providing intuitive control over each mic channel and the master output.
