Manufacturer description:
BOREALIS-LE is the FREE version of BOREALIS, our dynamic reverb plugin designed for the studio, stage, and beyond. Featuring one of BOREALIS’ inspiring algorithms, it transcends conventional reverb plugins by allowing you to create an interplay between your dry input and its wet output, using its envelope follower and unique modulation possibilities. BOREALIS-LE allows you to delve into this unique world of dynamic reverb for free!
Inspired by ancient acoustical architecture, the included ‘Sanctuary’ algorithm is an imagined inner sanctum with controls for the size, frequency tilt, rate of spatial modulation, and damping. With the included deep modulation system, equalizer, and limiter, BOREALIS-LE allows you to take this algorithm into many dimensions.
One Workhorse Algorithm
This free edition, BOREALIS-LE features 1 versatile reverb algorithm pulled from the full BOREALIS’ selection of 14. From subtle room reflections to lush swirling ambience, the ‘Sanctuary’ reverb gives you an inspiring taste of what’s inside.
The “Sanctuary” algorithm within BOREALIS LE, inspired by ancient acoustical architecture, is crafted to deliver a deep, realistic, and immersive reverb effect.
Envision your sound journeying through two chambers deep inside a stone pyramid—one medium-sized and one large—connected by tunnels. The ‘Size’ control shapes how much sound fills each chamber, creating smooth transitions, while the 'Mod Rate' lets you dynamically shift the acoustics within each Sanctuary chamber.
REACTIVE SONIC TRANSFORMATIONS
BOREALIS stands apart from conventional reverbs by dynamically responding to your playing, fostering an inspiring dialogue between input and output. The plugin features a user-friendly interface with the X, Y & Z Perform Animations as its main control screen, allowing you to focus on what you’re hearing. But for the tweakers, under the surface a playground of deep and intricate control lets you build your dream performance effect.
Dynamically morphing rooms
BOREALIS’s modulation capabilities are extensive, featuring three modulators and an envelope follower. The modulators, including Sine, Triangle, Square, Random, Stepped and custom-drawn shapes, allow you to create intricate movement. The envelope follower derives control signals from your input, allowing for responsive performances with adjustable attack, release, gain, and threshold settings. Like a living, breathing organism, BOREALIS empowers you to go deeper, allowing you to modulate modulators with each other and with the envelope follower, creating a network of performable sound.
Mastering-Grade Limiter and EQ
As the cherry on top, BOREALIS also includes a powerful mastering section with a parametric equalizer and dual-mode modern and vintage-flavoured limiter. The Modern limiter offers transparent IIR look-ahead limiting, while the Vintage limiter emulates the classic 1176 Peak Limiter. This section lets you shape and ‘glue’ both dry and wet signals, perfecting your overall sound. With BOREALIS, we created a playground to inspire and enhance your creative process and transform your approach to reverb design with its expansive sound, advanced modulators, and inspiring control interface.
