Space knob, plus the oft-requested Low Cut control. These work in tandem:
- Space turns up the feedback around both the predelay and early reflections. This allows the user to get diffuse echoes, early reflections that have a slight amount of natural decay, all the way up to big spacious reverbs using only the early section of the reverb. All this feeds into the late reverb via the predelay, so the Space control is the key to some new spacious spacy reverb sounds with ValhallaRoom.
- Low Cut, well, cuts the low frequencies. When set to 0 Hz, it is out of the circuit, so you can get the natural low frequencies of the original Room algorithms. Turn it up, and you gradually roll off the low frequencies, which can make the signal easier to use in non-classical mixes.
- The Low Cut and High Cut filters are in the feedback loop of the predelay->early reverb, so you can adjust how the tone evolves as you turn up the Space control.
I'll have more details when this update is officially released. I just figured out the new Windows EV certificate signing (woo-hoo), so I think we should be on schedule for releasing this early next week. The Mac version has been working for a few months now.
It is worth noting: yes, these are new parameters. I've avoided this in the past, as I ran into issues adding new parameters to ÜberMod back in early 2012. I've been talking a lot with other plugin developers lately (we tend to be a friendly lot), and the verdict is that the vast majority of DAWs can handle new parameters in a plugin update just fine, PROVIDED THAT the parameters are appended to the end of the existing plugin list.
I've done just that in ValhallaRoom, as well as added code that checks to see if the new parameters are present when loading an older DAW project or preset. If the parameters aren't present, they will be added to the DAW project or preset, but normalized to their "off" values. Hopefully this is a way of adding some fun stuff to the plugin without breaking backwards compatibility. In our testing so far, things seem to work great with older projects.
The Space control is on the Early tab of the plugin, and I wanted to show this off, so I changed the plugin so that the Early tab shows up initially. I've also put some logic in there that remembers what tab you had open when the GUI was last opened up. Only took 12 years to figure that out.
Normally I wouldn't announce this sort of thing early, but Kristin made a second graphic that we will use when this is released. The second graphic is better, but I really liked the "giant moon outside of windows" graphic as well, so we are using this as a bit of a teaser. We'll have another surprise update next week as well, although it probably won't be much of a surprise if you've tracked the last several Black Friday updates from us
