What Zynaptiq ADAPTIVERB is
Zynaptiq ADAPTIVERB is a paid reverberation plug-in that adapts its reverb tail to incoming audio or notes selected by the user. It is designed for mixing, mastering, ambient sound creation, film composition, and sound design. Ray-tracing and allpass reverb engines are combined with a Harmonic Contour Filter that can follow input tonality, a captured harmonic fingerprint, or on-screen keyboard notes. FREEZE creates drones and pads, while SIMPLIFY and RICHNESS provide oscillator-based timbral and harmonic controls. More than 400 presets and MIDI control of key parameters are included. The perpetual-license plug-in costs 149.00 USD once and has a 30-day fully functional trial. It supports AU, AAX Native, VST 2.4, and VST 3 on macOS and Windows. macOS 10.15+, Windows 10+, a two-core CPU, free iLok account, and activation internet are required. CPU use can be substantial, and latency may reach 11,264 samples; Live Mode is included from version 1.1.0.
