RAZOR’s approach to additive synthesis is pragmatic and musical, providing detailed control without sacrificing usability. So shake off the virtual analog dust – go additive and carve a new path with RAZOR.

ValhallaDSP is happy to announce the release of ValhallaRoom for OSX (AU/AU64/VST/RTAS). ValhallaRoom is a versatile, true stereo algorithmic reverb. It features several original reverberation algorithms and has been designed from the ground up to produce a wide range of natural reverberation sounds: small ambiences, warm rooms, halls, plates, cathedrals, and into the void.
The algorithmic reverb tail of REFLECT is now made with a true stereo processor – this means that the spatial position of the input signal influences the character of the resultant reverb tail. As a nice side effect the new processor gives you an even wider stereo panorama and increased resolution and density in the reverb tail. To “warm up” the reverb tail an improved modulation algorithm has been added too.
