independent development teams federation United Plugins is proud to announce availability of Biverb from founding partner SounDevice Digital — duly designed to elevate mixes and bring depth to soundscapes as a cutting-edge effect  plug-in packing two independent reverbs to offer unparalleled flexibility and creative control, making it the ultimate tool for any  producer or sound designer — as of October 8… 

Two become one 

Sometimes single reverbs cannot handle more taxing tasks. That is exactly why SounDevice Digital developed Biverb, boasting two  independent reverbs realised as a single cutting-edge effect plug-in. Put it this way: with its identical REVERB 1 and REVERB 2 ‘units’ each  offering a wide range of meticulously crafted algorithms — including CHAMBER, HALL, PLATE, ROOM, SHIMMER, and SPRING, rest  assured that Biverb users are able to blend and layer different reverb textures to achieve complex and evolving soundscapes with the  greatest of ease. Effectively following in the fanciful footsteps of Pluralis (https://unitedplugins.com/Pluralis/) — duly delivered by  SounDevice Digital last year to widespread critical acclaim as a delay plug-in like no other on account of its uniquely layered delay design  with several modes to split the signal so users can apply different delays to different audio areas to achieve radical-sounding results that  they could hitherto have only dreamed about, the unique power behind Biverb is, similarly, rooted in the way that it splits the signal.  Separate or different combinations are, again, the order of the day when it comes to processing, only this time the signal is distributed to  those two reverb ‘units’ using a clever CROSSOVER system with four different modes of operation. 

Spli!ing signals 

Biverb benefits users with creative CROSSOVER choices: LEFT / RIGHT — splits the signal in a more traditional way, whereby users can  apply REVERB 1 to the left channel and REVERB 2 to the right, representing a great way to get extreme effects at the outer edges of a  mix or having gentle reverbs working within the side channels; MID / SIDE — splits the signal into the centre (mid) and left and right  (side), so users can focus on different parts of their mix or stereo audio file to apply different processes to different audio areas as a  different way of processing stereo audio files that is almost unheard of in reverbs (despite being commonly used in EQs and  compressors); LOW / HIGH — harnesses powerful processing of different frequency ranges anchored around an adjustable frequency  set by the CROSSOVER control to apply different reverbs to the low and high frequencies for totally flexible reverb processing; and  QUIET / LOUD — splits audio at a certain loudness level (also set by the CROSSOVER control) so that the two reverb processors  independently work on quieter and louder audio, a feature that is unique to the Biverb plug-in, permitting users to utilise different  reverbs on each element. 

Dual ducking 

Biverb boasts dual DUCKING controls, helping a clean signal to push through without losing punch and attack by lowering the wet signal  level automatically whenever a new dry signal arrives at the plug-in’s input. Further flexibility for each reverb comes courtesy of  associated TIME — determines how fast the wet signal level will get to its original state — and FILTER — hp (high-pass) determines  the minimal frequency of the signal going to the reverb, while lp (low-pass) determines the maximal frequency of the signal sent to the  reverb ‘unit’ — controls. 

Modulation manoeuvres 

Duality duly continues with REVERB 1 and REVERB 2 including identical MODULATION 1 and MODULATION 2 sections, offering control  over modulation LEVEL, RATE (speed) of the modulation section oscillators, and DISPERSION — a ’special effect’ that can shatter sound.  Sometimes the difference between those two reverb ‘units’ might only involve a subtle change in one of those latter settings. Seeking mids  without modulation and sides with an effect? Entirely possible, of course, when working with Biverb. But just try picturing any other reverb  doing that… not necessarily so easy. 

Elevation and depth 

As a cutting-edge effect plug-in packing two independent reverbs to offer unparalleled flexibility and creative control, clearly Biverb has  what it takes to be the ultimate tool for any producer or sound designer determined to elevate their mixes and bring depth to soundscapes.  Saying that, the plug-in provides its users with the maximum audio quality possible thanks to its internal 64- bit audio processing and an  ability to handle any sampling rate — reaching 192 kHz or even higher without breaking into a sweat, just like its fellow United Plugins  partners’ software siblings. Similarly, the photorealistic yet flexible (resizable) nature of its GUI (Graphical User Interface) imbues it with  impressions of working with real hardware as opposed to being a virtual effect plug-in. Ultimately, United Plugins software smartly  manages bypass functionality to ensure that users do not experience any clicks or harmful noises when automating that parameter, and  SounDevice Digital’s Biverb is no exception to that (written) rule. 

SounDevice Digital’s Biverb is available to purchase for a time-limited introductory promo price of only €15.00 EUR until November 11, 2024 — rising thereafter to its regular price  of €79.00 EUR — as an AAX-, AU-, VST-, and VST3-compatible plug-in (using internal 64-bit audio processing capable of handling any sample rate) directly from its dedicated  webpage (https://unitedplugins.com/biverb), where a 15-day, fully-functional trial version for macOS 10.10 and newer and Windows 8/10/11 can also be downloaded for free.

Note that no iLok, dongle, or internet access is required for Biverb activation. (All United Plugins software uses license files for activation and owners can freely use purchased software — with free-for-life updates — on all their computers, as long as they are the user.)

About United Plugins 

As implied in the carefully chosen wording for an apt appellation that really represents how the Prague-registered Limited Company came about and what it collectively creates, United Plugins is a  federation of small, independent development teams comprised of individuals involved in the music industry. Indeed, the founding triad of FireSonic, JMG Sound, and SounDevice Digital can count  engineers, producers, and artists amongst their ‘united’ names. Needless to say, all were seeking the freedom to create the tools that they would like to use in their studios and on their projects. And all  agreed that this could be better achieved when working together. Though United Plugins’ proliferating product portfolio may not always be for the musical masses, surely someone, somewhere will always  find those tools to be a perfect fit for their own music productions… just like those inventive individuals behind United Plugins’ partner brands, the ranks of which have since swelled to include Muramasa  Audio and MeldaProduction. Thanks to the latter letting United Plugins utilise its super-easy licensing system, which is why selected MeldaProduction products are also available from the United Plugins  website (https://unitedplugins.com), a thriving future for the federation is assured.
