Free Plugin from Eventide - Temperance Lite
There are lots of free plugins around this time of year and lets be honest anything thats free is worth trying!
The good people at Eventide are making their reverb resonance plugin Temperance Lite free until the end of the month! It usually retails for $49 USD!
"Temperance Lite represents the next step for reverb technology, offering a new approach to shape ambiance. It responds to the language of music, encouraging you to explore reverb in a new way. Unlike a traditional algorithmic or convolution reverb, Temperance Lite lets you control reverb resonances using the familiar 12-note chromatic scale. This allows you to choose which notes bloom or wither within your chosen space, creating musical ambiances that were previously unattainable"
Like all good plugins it comes with 15 presets to get you started and you can shape your reverb using the giant Temperance knob.
The Temper Knob
The heart of Temperance is its signature Temper knob. At noon, Temperance Lite functions like a traditional reverb. Turn it clockwise to adjust the degree to which selected notes ring out with your music. Turn it counterclockwise to de-emphasize the selected notes.
You can adjust the size, decay and mix (wet/dry) in the lite version which is more than enough to get a sense for how this plugin can help shape your reverb into something more.
