AD060 Ascent

Audio Damage

Where to get itAvailable from Audio Damageaudiodamage.com

AD060 Ascent is a multi-effects plugin that extends the classic shimmer reverb effect using two reverbs and dual pitch-shifter stages. It pairs a large hall reverb with a bespoke "particle reverb" whose pitch shifters can target both the reverb tail and early reflections, creating lush, ascending tones that seem to rise endlessly. An internal ducking compressor lets the effect swell after you stop playing, making it musically responsive to your input.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Dual pitch-shifter stages: one on reverb tail, one on early reflections (particle reverb)
02Large hall reverb combined with bespoke particle reverb for lush layering
03Duck knob with level-responsive compressor to reduce effect during playing
04Pitch shifting from -12 to +12 semitones with regeneration feedback loop
05Expanse switch controlling apparent reverberant space size (Small, Medium, Large)
06Bloom control for blending direct input with particle reverb output
07Mix Lock to preserve wet/dry balance when loading presets

Things to Try

  • 01Use the classic shimmer effect by setting Pitch to +12 with Regeneration active for ascending pitch recirculation
  • 02Engage the Particulate switch to add random pitch shifting to early reflections, proportionate to the Pitch setting
  • 03Increase Duck to hear the reverb swell after you stop playing, useful for creating responsive, musical swells
  • 04Set Bloom fully clockwise to feed only the particle reverb into the main reverb for extremely lush sounds
