"🖲 Great news from Soundtoys – they’ve released a new plugin that creates stunning, spacey reverbs. It features an excellent interface and sound. With a simple twist, the reverb tail can be flipped into reverse, which sounds especially interesting on short decays synced to the tempo of your track.
🎛 The first thing I wanted to run through this effect was the Moog Subsequent 37 – the king of analog sound. This way, I could blend top-tier analog with digital magic. The result is epic.
📦 The Moog Sub37 presets and patterns used in this demo, along with over 200 preset banks for both hardware and software synths, are available here: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/"

"With SpaceBlender, you can quickly and easily turn any sound into a massive musical ambience. In this example you’ll hear three simple sources and three SpaceBlender presets – without any other plugins or automation."
"In this video, we add SpaceBlender to a variety of sources — cello, guitar, vocals, drums, and more —and use different presets to showcase the plug-in’s power and versatility.

BURLINGTON, VT – Renowned pro audio effects creator Soundtoys proudly announces the release of SpaceBlender, an experimental reverb that lets you create unreal and imaginary spaces – shapes, textures,and tones otherwise impossible in the real world.

SpaceBlender is available now at soundtoys.com for free – a $99 value – through May 22. Sign up to claim this offer.
Whether enhancing a track’s sense of space or creating dynamic, evolving effects, SpaceBlender is a fun and intuitive tool for sound designers, musicians, and producers looking for creative yet easy-to-use spatial processing.
“We’ve been exploring new ways to build an algorithmic reverb – something with the creative flexibility of convolution and the richness, depth, and soul of classic hardware devices,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and founder of Soundtoys.
“SpaceBlender is the first product of this research, and we’ve tried to make it easy to play with ‘space’ in a fun and musical way. We’re excited to hear what people create with it.”
Key features of SpaceBlender include:
● Interactive control – move between gate, reverse, decay, and bloom reverb shapes and everything in-between, in real time.
● Visualizer – see your sound move through the reverb shape as you adjust its sonic envelope.
● Simple control of spectral evolution; reverbs can get darker or brighter over time. ● Deeply embedded modulation creates rich, constantly moving ambient effects.
● Smoothly change the reverb texture from dense and lush to sparse and grainy.
● Extreme range from super short 100-millisecond nonlinear effects to absurdly long 60-second meditations.
The free SpaceBlender offer is valid only at soundtoys.com through May 22, 2025. SpaceBlender will be available for purchase from authorized resellers worldwide on May 23. Learn about Soundtoys’ system requirements and host compatibility.
"SpaceBlender is a new experimental reverb that lets you create unreal and imaginary spaces – shapes, textures, and tones otherwise impossible in the real world.
"Meet SpaceBlender, a new imaginary space machine from Soundtoys. It's an experimental reverb that create shapes, textures, and tones that don’t exist in the natural world.
In this video, we’ll walk you through SpaceBlender’s interface and demonstrate some cool ways to get started with the plug-in. From ambient soundscapes to reverse gated verbs, from skittering delays to wild pitch shifting– this deceptively simple plug-in has much to offer.
"It’s not convolution, it’s not an emulation – it’s like a delay matrix with chorus and a granulator…but not that either. From stuttering to vastness, it’s great for sound design, soundtracks, and gaming soundtracks. So interesting, it’s almost an instrument."
"This Daniel Avery's track is one of my favorites in these last months. so I tried to recreate this beautiful melody with my Prophet REV2.
To make this patch I started from the factory patch Sitcom Piano (F1 P38) which I modified a bit

Press release follows:
November 1, 2024 (BURLINGTON, VT) – Soundtoys PhaseMistress is FREE through November 15 at soundtoys.com (a $99 value). This full-featured and powerful plug-in gives you rich phase sweeps, analog vibes, and programmable rhythmic modulation. Sign up to claim this offer.
“When we designed PhaseMistress, we were inspired by the sound of classic analog phase-shifters of the 1970s and 80s, but I think we ended up re-inventing the effect,” said Ken
Bogdanowicz, CEO and lead designer at Soundtoys.
“By combining a super flexible phase-shifting engine with a powerful modulation system we transformed a stock effect into something totally new and wonderful. We’re still discovering new sounds and new ways to use PhaseMistress.”
PhaseMistress puts you in control of all aspects of the phaser sound. Y ou can set the number of stages from 2 up to a wild 24, then fine-tune and offset the resonance, color, and intensity to craft unique phase-shifting styles.
PhaseMistress contains a customizable LFO with preset shapes, or you can draw your own and store it. Plus, you can draw your custom curves in the T weak panel. Rhythm mode lets you program and store simple or complex patterns, while in Envelope mode, PhaseMistress responds to the dynamics of the incoming audio for funky triggered effects.
“I like the animation of sound that’s possible with PhaseMistress. The LFO, Envelope Follower, and Rhythm mode became essential as percussion modeling effects. Y ou can completely crush drum sounds and get some really odd phase-shifting sound effects.” – Richard Divine (artist, producer, sound designer)
Open PhaseMistress’s Style menu to browse an extensive set of styles that give you the sonic flavor of legendary hardware like the Bi-Phase, Super Phaser, Phase 90, Instant Phaser, Small Stone, and more. These retro analog sounds combined with modern controls and customizable LFO make PhaseMistress one of the most powerful phase effects available.
Users who download the free PhaseMistress plug-in will get a discounted upgrade offer in their Soundtoys account to trade up their PhaseMistress license to the Soundtoys 5 bundle. And with the Soundtoys Black Friday sale starting soon, that deal will get even sweeter.
