Description : The Polyverse Music Comet reverb can create spaces with a volume of 1 cm³.
A unique reverb that generates sound space on its own.
After a long beta test, Polyverse Music has released the Comet Reverb. During the tests, the developers collected user feedback and implemented a number of features in the first version of the plugin that complement its basic functionality for creating a reverb effect.
The reverb features advanced and flexible settings. For example, users can adjust the decay time of the reverb effect from one microsecond, as well as create spaces whose dimensions range from one cubic centimeter to one kilometer. Against the background of competitors, Polyverse Music Comet also features a built-in detuning algorithm and high morphing speed.
According to Polyverse, the plugin relies on its own algorithms and does not mimic real-life spaces. Since this functionality is present in almost every reverb plugin in existence, the last thing Polyverse wanted to do was to release another one, another and the same as all the plugins. For this reason, the developers have abandoned the use of real reverb pulses, focusing on the development of an engine that itself generates any space.
The effect is controlled by several knobs (input and output signal levels, pre-lay), diffuser and detuning sliders, as well as damping and signal coloring controls. Users can also adjust the size of the generated space, the decay time of the effect and the ratio of the original and processed signal. Comet is equipped with a large set of presets to make it easy to get started.
The developers have also equipped the plugin with rich parameter modulation capabilities. You can change the settings both manually and via the CV input – the plugin supports control via CV commands. In addition, you can control the reverb directly from a MIDI keyboard or controller, switching presets and changing settings via MIDI events.
The developers say that their motto is “From musicians for musicians”, so they are sensitive to the opinions of users. Guided by this idea, Polyverse Music promises to quickly fix all bugs found and implement new features at the request of users. The company believes that this approach will create a versatile reverb of the future. Well, that’s a big statement.
