CleanVerb

A reverb plugin that combines a traditional reverb effect with a gated ducking system inspired by Fruity Peak Controller. The gate dynamically modulates the wetness of the reverb based on a signal's peak, allowing for a clean and professional sound.

Key features include:

• A gate mechanism that ducks the reverb wetness.
• Fully customizable knobs for tailoring the reverb and gate behavior.
• Randomization, bypass, and preset management functionality.
• Real-time display of the gate's peak signal.

Plugin Features

Gate Controls

1. Base:

   • Sets the base signal level for the gate.
   • Controls the peak direction (positive or negative).

2. Tension:

   • Adjusts the attack of the gate.
   • Higher values result in a slower response to rising signal peaks.

3. Decay:

   • Acts as the release control of the gate.
   • Higher values extend the time for the signal to return to its base level after a peak.

Reverb Controls

4. Size:

   • Adjusts the perceived space of the reverb.

5. Width:

   • Controls the stereo spread of the reverb effect.

6. Damp:

   • Modifies the damping, affecting the high-frequency decay of the reverb.

7. Highpass/Lowpass Knob:

   • Combined control for filtering the reverb signal:
     • Middle: No filtering.
     • Left: Highpass filtering (removes low frequencies).
     • Right: Lowpass filtering (removes high frequencies).

Mix Controls

8. Dry/Wet Slider:
   • Balances the dry and wet signal of the reverb.

Additional Features

9. Random Button:

   • Randomizes all knob values for creative experimentation.

10. Bypass Button (Power Icon):

    • Toggles the plugin on or off.

11. Preset Manager:

    • Load, save, and manage presets for quick recall of settings.

Visualization

• Peak Display:
  • Real-time visual representation of the gate’s peak signal, helping users fine-tune the reverb and gate interaction.

Workflow

1. Set Up the Gate:

   • Use the Base knob to define the initial signal level and peak direction.
   • Adjust the Tension and Decay knobs to shape the gate's behavior.

2. Customize the Reverb:

   • Tailor the reverb space with the Size, Width, and Damp knobs.
   • Use the Highpass/Lowpass knob to filter the reverb signal as needed.

3. Mix the Signal:

   • Balance the Dry/Wet Slider to blend the effect with the original signal.

4. Experiment and Refine:

   • Use the Random Button for inspiration.
   • Save your favorite settings in the Preset Manager.

5. Visual Feedback:

   • Use the Peak Display to observe the gate’s response and ensure a clean reverb sound.

Example Use Cases

• Vocals: Duck the reverb during loud syllables for clarity.
• Drums: Maintain punchy drum hits while adding ambient space.
• Instruments: Create dynamic textures without muddying the mix.

System Requirements

• Compatible with major DAWs supporting VST, or VST3 plugins.
• Minimal CPU usage with optimized algorithms for real-time performance.
