Dimensions

A collection of reverbs with character.

Six distinctive reverb algorithms– from mechanical plates to Random Hall– for a variety of colors and sounds.  An inspiring visualizer that intuitively illustrates the sound of the reverb tail. A comprehensive and thoughtful preset collection. And an added Shimmer Effect that turns any reverb into a shimmer reverb.

This isn't just another reverb plug-in. This is a transcendent tool for your sound. Access all the essential reverbs needed for your productions in one elegant plug-in. Enter Dimensions.

Six exquisite reverb algorithms

At the root of Dimensions lies six distinctive algorithms designed to cover most of your production needs and offer a variety of colors and sounds. There are vibey and colorful mechanical reverbs, such as the Spring and Plate reverbs, and recreations of the most coveted reverb designs in music production, such as the ethereal Concert Hall and the famous Random Hall, with its beautiful spatialization that glues together any source. In addition, there is the Room reverb, a variation of the Concert Hall algorithm that is tuned for smaller sizes with less pronounced echoes, and the Cathedral reverb which was originally developed as a synth reverb but has been improved upon and designed to be lush and long.

Shimmer & the reverb tail visualizer

The Shimmer section allows users to turn any of the reverbs into a shimmer reverb. As with nearly every tweak you make in Dimensions, users can watch their adjustments to the Shimmer section play out with the Reverb Tail Visualizer. Taking inspiration from the waveform display of a pioneering sampler workstation from 1979 and Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures cover, Softube created something that intuitively illustrates the sound of the reverb tail with inspiring effect.

Six worlds of reverb

• Spring: Bold and obvious. Classic spring reverb, modeled from a tape echo unit. Not too springy, not too clean. Tons of character.
• Plate: Dark and dense. The classic vocal and drum reverb, with three mechanical plate emulations and one emulation of a classic digital plate reverb from 1976.
• Concert Hall: Lush and sparse. The must-have vocal and synth reverb. Designed in 1978, the Concert Hall algorithm has been a studio staple ever since.
• Room: Dense and versatile. Excels at studio ambiance and shorter reverbs.
• Random Hall: Open and clear. An ‘80s classic. The pinnacle in reverb design with an amazing spatialization that glues with any source.
• Cathedral: Long and lush. Synthetic and big, with beautiful modulation. Makes any synth sound big and alive!

System Requirements

• macOS Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13
• Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11
• Softube account
• iLok account
• Computer with AU, VST, VST3, and/or AAX-compatible DAW host software
• Internet access (for downloading installers and managing licenses)

Supported CPU Families 

• Apple macOS computers with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or Apple silicon (M1 or newer) CPU. Apple silicon is supported natively. 
• Windows computers with quad-core Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD quad-core processors with SSE 4.2 support.
• Other Intel processors (Celeron, Pentium, and Xeon) are compatible if they support SSE 4.2 instructions. 

Supported Host Software (DAW)  

Any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs—and rigorous standards—Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper. Softube plug-ins are not tested regularly in non-listed systems. They will likely work if the system requirements are met. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems. 
  
Softube strongly recommend using VST3, as some of their plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE/RTAS are no longer supported. See Legacy Installers.

Important Note: Make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com​
