Crystalline

What it does

An AUv3 port of Baby Audio’s desktop reverb. The top row shapes the reflections with size, sparkle, width, algorithm resolution and modulation, plus a shimmer control that steps between algorithm sets. Below that sit cleanup filters, a gate, tone, smoothing, a transient and sustain balance, and separate pre reverb and tail times that can run free or sync to the host tempo. A ducker, reverse and freeze finish it off.

In the demo

Jade holds each control to read its description, then plays acoustic guitar through the app in AUM and builds the reverb up from nothing so every parameter is audible. She runs the factory and artist presets on guitar, vocals and piano, then uses the gate and ducker together on Drum Computer until the tail reads as a separate part.

Worth knowing

Most factory presets arrive fully wet, so the mix control is the first stop. Anyone after a single knob reverb for a mix bus will find far more here than that needs.
