SoundFonts.it has released Type4, a simulation of a vintage “Type4” spring reverb unit.

SoundFonts.it Type4

Why should you want to use a spring reverb rather than a precise and modern digital reverb? Spring reverbs have typical sonic characteristics that, nowadays, make them desirable mostly as effects on their own rather than simulations of an acoustic phenomena.

Type4 features

  • Four virtual springs with variable tension.
  • Variable decay length.
  • Variable dampening factor.
  • Adjustable pre and post filtering.
  • Adjustable timbre.
  • Very low memory and CPU power needed.
  • Easy MIDI-Learn feature.

SoundFonts.it Type4 is available as a VST plug-in for Windows PC for an introductory price of 14 EUR until September 30, 2008 (regular price is 19 EUR). A demo version is available for download.
