Hybrid Reverb

Ableton

Where to get itIncluded with Ableton Liveableton.com

Hybrid Reverb is Ableton's dual-engine reverb that combines convolution reverb with five algorithmic reverb modes (Dark Hall, Quartz, Shimmer, Tides, and Prism) in a single device. It allows flexible routing between the two engines in serial, parallel, algorithm-only, or convolution-only configurations, plus custom impulse response import for infinite sound design possibilities. The plugin excels at creating anything from natural room ambience to drone-like soundscapes and heavily transformed textures.

Things to Try

  • 01Use Dark Hall with long decay times combined with extremely small Size values to create metallic gong-like resonances
  • 02Turn Shimmer Diffusion below 10% on drums for dub-like delay effects
  • 03Set Shimmer to 100% on melodic material to produce interesting pitch harmonizations
  • 04Use smaller Decay and Size values in Prism mode for a classic '80s-style gated snare reverb
