BOREALIS

Animistic Performance Reverb

BOREALIS is a dynamic reverb plugin designed for the studio, stage, and beyond. It transcends conventional reverb plugins by allowing you to create an interplay between your dry input and its wet output, using its envelope follower and unique modulation possibilities.

BOREALIS allows you to manipulate a myriad of parameters simultaneously for expressive results with a user-friendly animated interface with 3-axes macro controls.

14 Inspiring Spatial Algorithms

Inspired by the idiosyncratic world of guitar pedals and eurorack effects, BOREALIS provides a wide variety of inspiring time-based effects through its 14 algorithms, including multi-dimensional convolution reverbs and reactive algorithmic effects that extend to infinity.

Reactively morphing spaces

Featuring extensive modulation capabilities, including 3 complex modulators and a deep envelope follower, enable highly responsive and organic results driven by your input!

Mastering-Grade Limiter and EQ

Finalize your output and glue your dry and wet with BOREALIS’ powerful mastering section including a parametric equalizer and dual-mode modern IIR look-ahead and vintage 1176-style limiters.
