Eventide Audio has introduced a modal reverb effect plugin which offers a new approach to shape ambiance. Temperance Lite responds to the language of music, encouraging you to explore reverb in a new way.
Unlike a traditional algorithmic or convolution reverb, Temperance Lite lets you control reverb resonances using the familiar 12-note chromatic scale. This allows you to choose which notes bloom or wither within your chosen space, creating musical ambiances that were previously unattainable.
Imagine a room filled with thousands of tuning forks, each tuned to a different frequency. What if you could control the loudness and decay of each one? Temperance models reverberant spaces as thousands of independent resonances (modes), all adjustable in real time. While convolution reverbs capture a space in a single snapshot, Temperance builds it piece by piece, letting you shape how each mode decays or resonates.
Temperance Lite features

- Radial Note Selection Buttons let you choose which notes to emphasize or de-emphasize.

- NoteScape Visualizer displays the emphasized and de-emphasized notes sustaining and decaying, visually mapping the musicality of the reverb.
