Bootsy has updated the fabulous free reverb epicVerb to v1.0.1. It’s a maintenance release so no major new functionality, but the biggie is it should now run on older SSE1 CPUs, like the AMD Athlon. Other highlights include lower memory usage and improvements to the modulation algorithm. Download the update here.

Following on from my last post, I’m happy to report the official release of epicVerb. The great news is that it is free!

The epicVerb interface

My preferred freeware (ok, nagware) reverb up until now has been the excellent Ambience, but judging from the demos I think epicVerb may have a stab at the top spot. Its tails sound smooth and natural, without metallic ringing or other obvious artifacts found on many simpler reverbs. I can’t wait to load it up in Cubase and see what it can do.

Plug-in author ‘Bootsie’ has a new blog which will serve as the official home of his various free VST plug-ins. Most eagerly anticipated by many is epicVerb which promises to be a sophisticated, pro-quality reverb. The demos sound great - look out for the official release soon.
