Product Description

Now with a great new skin for both N3 and N4, by Max, which allows switching between all of the sampled reverbs by simply pressing buttons! Also, this release is now available in 44.1khz, 48khz, 88.2khz, and 96khz sample rates.

A Gibbs spring reverb tank made in the early 70’s, of the type commonly used in Hammond organs and various Fender equipment was used to make this reverb library for Nebula. It was sampled 14 different ways- some with the goal of capturing just the spring sound with little extra coloration, others with added flavor. The idea was to provide many variations of the spring reverb sound, giving several options for any situation requiring verb.

Among the methods used- placing small objects on the springs (or wrapped around them), using the clamp (which I believe is to keep the pan/springs from moving around much during transportation) to dampen the effect, using different feedback paths, different sources of amplification, using cassette tapes, and playing the tones through the setups at different speeds/sample rates to shift the behavior up and down the frequency spectrum (a process I call ‘bionic’). There’s actually a pretty decent amount of variety in the reverbs here. Check the audio demos to hear for yourself!

Badass stuff, Tim. Looking forward to grabbing this one soon. Still playing with the Rayphlex. Your stuff has always intrigued me. Rayphlex has me taking a closer look at the other bundles. Thanks for your work.

Demo programs-
2 programs from the set. One with 6 kernels, one with 1. Check the included .txt to see how they differ from the full versions.

The manual has more general info, and specific info for each program. Check it out!
Manual

This guitar clip demo shows off the different tone/colors of spring reverb you can get from the set. Each of the 14 different verbs was used, in the order that they are described in the manual. First it's dry, then one repetition with each verb.

This guitar clip is aimed at showing off the possibilities of the distortion element of the effects. Just like the above clip, every effect is used, and gone through in the same order. The distortion may be a little too prominent in some cases, but remember that you can always mix it in at the amount you need.

This is an acoustic guitar clip, and it just kind of jumps around to a few different programs in no specific order. Sometimes the distortion is mixed in at obvious levels, other times not.

This is a programmed drum mix, with snares, kicks, hats, and the occasional claps and electronic toms. First you hear it dry, then wet a few different times. The different drum elements are ran through different reverbs from the set before being mixed together.

This is just a series of claps, just a single clap sample played over and over, first dry then going through each effect in the set (in order this time). You will hear a static burst between each program change, because it actually plays twice for each program, once then again with more distortion mixed in. Keep in mind that here the tail of the verbs are usually cut short, to save time.

Thanks to elam (from Acustica Audio forums) and to Andreas Witez for their guitar clips!
