Relab Development have released QuantX, a natural resonance reverb, available at the intro price of $149.00, increasing to $199.00 after the promotion.
QuantX is the world’s only dual-engine premium re-creation of a beloved 80’s hardware reverb, revered for its highly realistic ambience and long reverb times.
This legendary resonance reverb, once the cornerstone of many world-class studios, has been meticulously re-created so you can:
- Feel the authenticity in every tweak: Relab’s advanced machine learning captures every nuance, giving you the sound AND feel of the legendary hardware, quirks included.
- Shape your sound with precision: Relab’s unique dual-engine design of QuantX enables real-time fine-tuning of reverb width and “front-to-back” depth for unparalleled sound sculpting.
- Enhance your mixes with ease: With hand-tuned 8-voice modulation, first reflection channel swapping and expanded bandwidth control, QuantX makes crafting complex, textured reverbs fast and simple.
Most reverb emulations use static models that often ignore the hardware’s dynamic character. Building on the success of our popular LX480, and using a next-generation advanced AI-powered framework and extensive analysis of millions of data points, we’re proudly setting new standards by capturing the true dynamic essence of the hardware with unmatched accuracy.
QuantX exceeds typical hardware emulations by meticulously re-creating not only the sound, but the ever-changing character of vintage gear, offering a living, and ever-evolving authentic quality.
QuantX’s unique dual-engine design combines two powerful reverb systems, each with its own set of four outputs, working in harmony. This dual approach gives you the ability to fine-tune both the width and “front-to-back” depth of your reverb in real time. With QuantX, you’ll enjoy the creative freedom of blending the distinct qualities of both modules in this twin-engine titan, ensuring your reverb always sits perfectly within the mix.
Most reverbs rely solely on the time the sound takes to reflect off surfaces. But QuantX uses unique resonators to replicate the natural behavior of sound traveling through the air. Essentially, QuantX uses the room as an instrument, giving you a reverb that feels alive and integrated with the original signal, and producing a more natural and enveloping experience. When you use the seven room size options from 1 to 1 million cubic meters, and an adjustable first reflection, you’ll be tailoring reverbs from subtle echoes to massive tails.
Enhance mode helps QuantX distinguish itself from other reverbs by creating the illusion of a space with minimal reverb. Imagine having an additional set of hyper-focused microphones, capturing the very first echoes that bounce off surfaces in a room. This adds an extra sense of three-dimensionality to your tracks without introducing the muddiness that often comes with layering longer reverb tails. Using QuantX to control “front-to-back” placement makes sounds more present and upfront, or subtly pushes them back, without drowning them in excessive reverb.
QuantX also includes Relab’s proprietary hand-tuned Advanced Chorus Ensemble (ACE). The 8-voice modulation adds unique layers of depth and complexity to the reverb, making your sound richer and more textured. Each voice is meticulously hand-tuned (using a special tool pictured here) and then deeply embedded within the reverb algorithm. When you dial in the modulation, you can feel how it’s more like a natural part of the space you’re creating, rather than an added effect.
The monumental task of replicating the sound and unpredictable behavior of hardware requires more than just brain power and great ears; it requires serious science and technology. So, Relab turned to the power of advanced machine learning. Using a next-generation advanced AI-powered framework and extensive research, they embarked on a 12-month journey to digitally recreate the essence of these vintage units. These systems meticulously gathered millions of data points, analyzing the hardware’s response in every conceivable setting scenario. They conducted an average of 10,000 iterations for each setting and combination, extending this rigorous process across three distinct hardware units using seven computers. This dedication to authenticity, a hallmark of our approach at Relab, would have been virtually impossible using traditional emulation methods.
With QuantX, you’re not just acquiring another reverb emulation plug-in; you’re stepping into a realm of unparalleled hardware re-creation so you can:
- Discover the highly realistic natural resonance ambience of a beloved 80’s hardware unit, so you can bring a revered, classic sound to your modern productions.
- Feel the authenticity in every tweak so you can experience the sound AND true feel of the legendary hardware, complete with its unique quirks.
- Escape the typical limitations of common reverb plug-ins and enjoy the simplicity and depth of a premium dual-engine re-creation.
QuantX allows you to create a distinctive sonic signature, defined by clarity, quality, and confidence, helping your mixes stand out and capture the listener’s attention.
QuantX is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX) and requires an iLok account.
