"A simple clean guitar can be transformed into a vast atmospheric soundscape, but by the same token you can also turn things a touch sinister by heaping on the resonance, feedback and modulation depth."Paul White - Sound on Sound. Sound On Sound is the world's biggest and best audio recording & production magazine.
"Incredibly rich sound which makes it the perfect tool for creating big movie-style effects, and crazy warped sounds out of run-of-the-mill sources."Computer Music. The worldâs best selling magazine dedicated solely to making music with your Mac or PC.
"Reverb as an instrument unto itself might seem far-fetched, but Blackhole fetches far further than your average reverb unit...The sound quality is simply outstanding."Ask Audio . News, reviews & tutorials for the modern musician, producer & DJ.
Extraterrestrial Reverb
Most reverbs are earth-bound and constrained by the physics of the real world. Our Blackhole reverb breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in reality (at least the one we inhabit). At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings and pads. At small sizes, those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section.
From the Extreme to the Sublime
While itâs true Blackhole is capable of creating space-warping special effects and drones, itâs also capable of creating musical and subtle effects youâll find useful for highlighting key instruments or painting a backdrop for your mix. Whether you're at the event horizon or closer to home, Blackhole will inspire and amaze while its intuitive controls will allow you to add that special something to your tracks without a degree in rocket science.Â
In short, Blackhole is destined to be one of those tools that you turn to time and again when reality just isn't enough.
The Secret Weapon
This famed, massive reverberator first saw the light of day as an algorithm in our rackmount DSP4000 and remained a favorite in the rackmount H8000FW. For decades studio engineers considered Blackhole their "secret weapon." More recently, it was ported to our Space stompbox and became the go-to ambient effect for guitar and keyboard layers. With each new version the reverb has been refined and enhanced.
Weâve now perfected the galactic sounds of the Blackhole reverb in native plug-in form. With the Blackhole plug-in, any instrument in your DAW can warp acoustic space and time.
