Voxengo - Sobor

Lush wide stereo reverberation

Sobor is a stereo reverberation effect AU, AAX, and VST plug-in for professional music production applications. This reverb plug-in provides a wide palette of reverb spaces while requiring only a minimal effort to obtain useful results.

The tails created by this reverb are very dense and produce a well-defined spatialization. Since the reverb uses a kind of “true-stereo” algorithm the panned sounds receive a good stereo field placement. We believe Sobor provides one of the lushest and widest reverb tails available on the market.

The early reflections placement and reverb levels are chosen automatically based on a pre-defined model that depends on the “Size” and “Ambience” parameters. Additionally, the user may specify the “Pre-Delay” and “Stereo width” parameters. Sobor is technically based on Feedback Delay Networks (FDNs) with the Hadamard matrix, and uses self-modulation techniques.

Sobor is great on any sound sources: vocals, synths, drums, mixes. This reverb is a relatively CPU-demanding effect (it takes 7.5% of a single core of i7-7700K processor, at 44100 sample rate), for comfortable use it requires a higher-end processor.
