What AR1 Reverb is for
AR1 is an algorithmic reverb plugin designed to place your sources in believable spaces—from a small room to a hall or stadium—without unnecessary complexity. It excels in both mixing and sound design: gluing a vocal to the back of the stage, adding depth to a piano, or widening a synth lead while preserving the clarity of the direct signal. Its “set, listen, validate” approach speeds up creative decisions and the finishing of your productions.

Questions frequently asked
Does AR1 Reverb run on Apple Silicon?
Apple Silicon compatibility is announced. The configuration requires 4 GB of memory and an Intel Core i3 processor or equivalent, with a Core i5 or higher recommended.
How to adjust stereo width with AR1?
The Width control sets the stereo spread from 0 to 100: 0 produces a centered mono image, while 100 uses the full stereo field width.
Does the pre-delay preserve the attack of a vocal?
Thanks to the pre-delay adjustable in milliseconds, the reverb response is delayed to allow the source's attack to stand out before the reflections.
Which controls affect the tone color of the reverb?
Bandwidth cuts the high frequencies to soften the room response. Damping determines the decay speed of these frequencies in the tail. Modulation adds slight pitch variation to the reverb tail.
Can AR1 Reverb be used as an effect send?
The Mix setting can be set to 100 Wet to keep only the reverb signal, a setting suitable for use on an auxiliary send.
