Reverb isn’t just an effect—it’s the soul of your sound. Verberate takes this to heart, delivering algorithmic reverb that authentically recreates real acoustic environments with unmatched realism. The original Verberate set a new standard for sound quality, and now, Version 2 elevates the experience even further.
Verberate has the groundbreaking Vivid Hall algorithm at its core, which introduces time variance to eliminate the mechanical feel often found in convolution-based reverbs. The result? Lush, natural-sounding reverb tails that maintain the clarity and density you loved in the original. With Verberate 2, your soundscape is more alive than ever.

Real acoustical surroundings will have slight variations due to air currents, moving performers or movements in the audience. While these variations may seem subtle, the effect towards the end of the reverb tail is significant, since the sound is reflected a large number of times before the reverb tail fades out. The new Vivid Hall algorithm models these random variations without artifacts like chorus effects or pitch changes, and is therefore capable of simulating reverberation of real halls with a higher degree of realism.
Another new feature is the ability to better simulate mechanical plate reverbs. High frequencies travel faster in metal plates than low frequencies, and this effect is called frequency dispersion. Verberate 2 now has a Dispersion parameter which allows for highly realistic plate reverb simulations when combined with the decay editor to simulate the longer high frequency decay of plate reverbs. A new Swirl parameter makes it possible to simulate the feedback modulation effect found in many vintage digital reverb units.
The 15 early reflection patterns offered are algorithmic, calculated in real time and applied using convolution. A dense and resonance free late reverb tail follows the early reflections, resulting in extremely convincing room simulations with impressive depth combined with the flexibility algorithmic reverbs are known for. A large catalog of beautiful factory presets is delivered with Verberate 2 and a clear and to-the-point graphical user interface simplifies the search for a specific reverb quality.
Acon Digital Verberate 2 is available as VST, VST3 or AAX for both Windows and Mac or as AU plug-ins for Mac. There are 32 and 64 bit versions for Windows. The Mac version is 64 bit and runs natively on both ARM (such as Apple M1) and Intel processors. Acon Digital Verberate 2 supports mono and stereo audio formats. If you need a reverb that works with surround and immersive formats, please see Verberate Immersive 2.
Reverb plug-ins have come a long way over the years, but one that really stands out is Acon Digital’s Verberate 2. What makes it different is its transparent, natural and prodigious sonic quality. Extremely realistic. The tails are clear and pure without any artifacts or degradation. The early reflections are stunning. Definitely a go-to plug-in in everyone of my mixes.
