Sonic Academy have released VELA, available at the intro price of £44.10 / $65.80, increasing to £70.00 / $94.00 after the promotion. The offer ends June 30th.
Vela is a revolutionary new VST Reverb technology that enables you to create and sculpt the most beautiful, wide, spacious reverbs.
From ultra real spaces to impossibly massive soundscapes VELA is unmatched in versatility and sound. VELA gives you total control over every aspect of a reverb’s architecture.
With our fully customizable early reflection system combined with the unique node based late reflection engine you can finely tune density, decay and damping filter over time for a luscious, smooth tail.
VELA can also effortlessly emulate the sound of some of the worlds most sought after classic and modern reverbs without the limitations of captured Impulse responses.
Get the famous characteristic sound from the world’s top reverb algorithms like Lexicons, Bricasti, TC Electronic and more.
Then use the versatility of the VELA engine to go far beyond what these reverbs were ever capable of.
VELA uses a massive network of delays controlled with a node based graph editor to enable you to fully shape the density characteristic of your space. Start with a sparse initial period of discrete early delay taps that blooms into an ultra dense smooth heavenly tail for ultimate spatial imagery.
Or go nuts and start with 5000 delay taps collapsing down to single pulses for an otherworldly special effect. Mimic the characteristics of other famous reverbs by dialing in a similar density to your favorite Classic hall or Drum room. Use a sparse density to get ultra spacious clean intelligible vocal reverb that cuts through any mix. The choice is all yours.
The VELA decay system does away with the feedback network limitation of most algorithmic reverbs and gives you the same node based graph to fully edit your decay shape.
Easily dial in short decays or gates or emulate any possible non linear tail shape.
Go crazy with reverse reverbs or pulsing sawtooth tail. Let your imagination run wild!
VELA has Pre and Post EQ sections. Each EQ has 4 nodes with the option of Low Shelf, Bell, Low-Cut, High-Cut, and High Shelf shapes. The Low and High Cuts have the choice of 6/12/24dB shapes.
The node based filter graph lets you fine tune the damping of the decay over time enabling you to really dial in the absorption characteristics of the space.
You have independent Low pass and the High Pass filter envelopes for complete control.
VELA comes preloaded with over 160 presets including presets to emulate some of the most famous and classic reverbs. You can tag your favourites as well as create your own. Presets are all marked with their decay time so that you can quickly see and sort presets by length.
