New from ADPTR: Utopia, a spectral reverb that allows you to do all sorts of things to reverberation that no other reverb software offers and for which you'd need a handful of other specialized plugins if you want to achieve similar effects.
"Isolate, shape, and manipulate the fabric of harmonic content; Sculpt a new sense of space with Utopia's groundbreaking controls: Focus strips back your sound to its pure harmonic essence; Atmosphere subtly enhance details and grain or smooth out transients for a lusher tone; Spectral Blocks control harmonic resonance - longer blocks add harmonically rich sounds with slower blooms, shorter blocks give snappier more angular responses.
Utopia combines a new level of control with an intuitive interface and a whole host of presets for engaging experimentation. Use the color section to effortlessly transition from flat to colored reverb responses. This single, smooth control affects decay, spectral characteristics, and post EQ. Then mold the onset and initial decay of the reverb with the Shape section. Each shape preset offers a unique configuration for swells, fades, and sustain.
Utopia includes advanced controls for automation and synchronization to unlock the rhythmic potential of Utopia across the stereo field: There’s a Volume Shaper with Ducking, Gating, and Pumping modes that’s fully editable and syncable to tempo or sidechain; a Buffer Reset to instantly reset the audio buffer with BPM-synced MIDI triggers or manual control via a MIDI-automatable button, and a Weight Send Control for post-fade send automation and inserts effects."
