Impact Soundworks has announced the release of an essential tool for anyone looking to capture the sounds of an iconic video game era.

With a single click, GameVerb gives you the signature reverbs of countless legendary Super Nintendo (SNES), Nintendo 64 (N64), and original PlayStation (PSX) games recreated with astonishing accuracy.

You can also dive into the hardcore Geek Mode and customize the sound to your heart’s content. The plugin is not limited to games, either. GameVerb is perfect to add a unique flavor to lo-fi productions, EDM, or anything needing a retro feel.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo 64 (N64), and original Sony PlayStation (PSX) are home to some of the most beloved video game soundtracks of all time. Their programmers had to use clever tricks and strategies to create lush reverb on very limited hardware, using special algorithms, filters, and delays designed to take as little CPU as possible.

With GameVerb, these ingenious reverb algorithms have been not just emulated, but fully recreated in modern code, giving you the exact sound and control that composers and sound designers of the era had… just a lot more convenient.

GameVerb features

  • 69 Mode 1 (delay-based) N64 presets with settings from classic games.
  • 107 Mode 2 (comb-based) N64 presets with settings from classic games.
  • 668 SNES presets primarily from classic games, along with several dozen ‘utility’ FIR filters (lowpass, bandpass, shelving, etc.)
  • 9 classic reverbs from the PSX, each with its own unique character: Room, Studio Small, Studio Medium, Studio Large, Hall, Space Echo, Echo, Delay, and Half Echo.

GameVerb for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP) is now available to purchase for $49 USD. Existing customers can check their Personalized Deals to see if they qualify for a crossgrade discount on this or other products.
