VELA: The Ultimate Reverb Plugin

A revolutionary new VST Reverb technology that enables you to create and sculpt the most beautiful, wide, spacious reverbs.

VELA GUI

From ultra real spaces to impossibly massive soundscapes VELA is unmatched in versatility and sound. VELA gives you total control over every aspect of a reverb's architecture.

With our fully customizable early reflection system combined with the unique node based late reflection engine you can finely tune density, decay and damping filter over time for a luscious, smooth tail.

VELA GUI

Emulate Classics

VELA can also effortlessly emulate the sound of some of the worlds most sought after classic and modern reverbs without the limitations of captured Impulse responses.

Get the famous characteristic sound from the world's top reverb algorithms like Lexicons, Bricasti, TC Electronic and more.

Then use the versatility of the VELA engine to go far beyond what these reverbs were ever capable of.

Overview

Complete Density Control

VELA uses a massive network of delays controlled with a node based graph editor to enable you to fully shape the density characteristic of your space. Start with a sparse initial period of discrete early delay taps that blooms into an ultra dense smooth heavenly tail for ultimate spatial imagery.

Or go nuts and start with 5000 delay taps collapsing down to single pulses for an otherworldly special effect. Mimic the characteristics of other famous reverbs by dialing in a similar density to your favorite Classic hall or Drum room. Use a sparse density to get ultra spacious clean intelligible vocal reverb that cuts through any mix. The choice is all yours.

VELA GUI

Node Based Decay

The VELA decay system does away with the feedback network limitation of most algorithmic reverbs and gives you the same node based graph to fully edit your decay shape.

Easily dial in short decays or gates or emulate any possible non linear tail shape.

Go crazy with reverse reverbs or pulsing sawtooth tail. Let your imagination run wild!

IT'S UNREAL!

"Seriously BLOWN AWAY by this one guys. My FAVOURITE short & non-linear reverbs in the box. Kick 3 is great - this is STAGGERINGLY great"

Add Depth with Early Reflections

VELA Early Reflections

Early reflections are key to how a reverb VST imparts its sense of space on the human auditory system. This initial series of discrete delay taps are fundamental to the character of a space.

In VELA we have adopted a fully customisable ER system with presets analyzed from a bunch of real spaces and from classic and modern algorithmic reverbs.

If you are feeling adventurous you can also dive in and create your own bespoke ERs with the user editable presets. The Early reflections can be fed into the final diffusion system and into the filter giving you maximum control over how they sound.

Refine Your Sound with Filters & EQ

VELA has Pre and Post EQ sections. Each EQ has 4 nodes with the option of Low Shelf, Bell, Low-Cut, High-Cut, and High Shelf shapes. The Low and High Cuts have the choice of 6/12/24dB shapes.

Node Based Decay Filter

Filter Decay

The node based filter graph lets you fine tune the damping of the decay over time enabling you to really dial in the absorption characteristics of the space.

You have independent Low pass and the High Pass filter envelopes for complete control.

Clear Mixes with Ducking

The ducking system in vela lets you fine tune how your reverb interacts with the incoming signal… Perfect for Vocals where you want your vocal to come through clearly but have the VELA reverb follow after.

Smooth it out with De-essing

VELAs de-essing system lets you get rid of any annoying sibilance before it hits the reverb giving you lush smooth tails without unwanted fizz you might get from vocal esses.

Enhance Space with Diffusion

While the late section of VELAs reverb can be perfectly diffuse we love the sound of the late diffusion networks of classic algorithmic reverbs.

VELAs diffusion network serves 2 key functions… smoothing out any discrete taps from a low density late section or smoothing the Early reflection taps while also adding some extra stereo space.

The Early and Late diffusion networks have independant controls, so you can diffuse both or just limit the diffusion to Early or Late reflections.

160+ Presets Included

VELA comes preloaded with over 160 presets including presets to emulate some of the most famous and classic reverbs. You can tag your favourites as well as create your own.

Presets are all marked with their decay time so that you can quickly see and sort presets by length.
