Musik Messe 2005. IK Multimedia is proud to present CSR-1: Classik Studio Reverb, a suite of various reverbs modeled after classic high end studio reverb hardware masterpieces.
While impulse reverbs have gained a lot of popularity because of their particular emulation of environment reverberation, they typically lack the particular musical sound and editing possibilities that famous studio digital reverbs have always offered.
As an alternative or additional virtual studio tool, high quality algorithm-based reverbs like CSR-1 are designed to get the maximum musicality and a sound that top engineers have made hit records with for years. CSR-1 offers a suite of reverbs that are modeled to the sound of popular classic reverbs with the advantage of full editing control to perfectly fit any musical need. An high quality, musical reverb processor with flexibility previously available only in high-end, signature hardware reverb processors.
Four reverbs in one:
CSR-1 includes a suite of four different reverbs algorithms:
- Classik Hall / Room
- Classik Ambience
- Classik Plate
- Classik Inverse
Each Reverb has its own interface and parameters.
Easy and advanced mode:
CSR-1 offers 2 operating modes for each of the four algorithms: Easy and Advanced. In Easy mode the user will be able to quickly edit the most important parameters in a very efficient way. In Advanced mode the user will have full access to more than 50 reverb parameters, including completely assignable Matrix Modulations and Macros. These two available editing modes make CSR-1 a perfect solution for a wide range of users from beginners to pros.
Advanced reverb editing
Matrix Modulation allows for any of the reverb parameters to be controlled by two internal LFO’s and two internal Envelope generators. This offers the ability to create complex and articulated reverb effects that can go way beyond what is normally expected from a conventional reverb processor. All Matrix Modulations are completely user definable. Macros allow for simultaneous control (with a single slider) over many reverbs’ parameters, with different depth and polarity for very smooth morphing between different reverberant spaces. Any parameter is automated via DAW’s proprietary automation, with full and seamless integration allowing efficient and convenient use of today’s most advanced control surfaces.
High-end studio features
Additional CSR-1 features:
- State of the art DSP based reverb algorithms
- Specific Algorithm-based Parameters list
- Highly customizable Modulation Matrix
- Smooth parameters morphing capabilities
- Adjustable input and output reverb width
