A concept' verb, comes to life

Toraverb was never intended to be an emulation, approximation, or recreation. D16 did not implement any "ready-to-use" algorithm or impulse response. Unlike a classic unit such as spring, room, hall, or plate, Toraverb is a concept in its own right. Using a set of easily accessible parameters, Toraverb allows the user to create virtually ANY type of algorithmic reverb. D16's goal was to create something that sounds beautiful no matter where the knobs are set.

Reverb is a critical effect in a mix. Good digital reverb depends on the algorithms used and the quality of their implementation. Reverb is generally used as a send effect, with many channels in a mix routed to it. If a poorly designed plugin or hardware unit is used, the end result is smaller/muddier mixes, with reverb tails that sound as if they are being inhumanly ripped apart.

Maximum diffusion quality

In Toraverb, D16 designed a diffusion network of the highest possible quality based on modified all-pass filters and implemented finely tuned parameters, eliminating almost all unwanted flutter echo effects across various sound sources. That is a fancy way of saying "D16 made it smooth and easy to modify".

Two parametric equalizers

Toraverb has two fully independent single-band parametric equalizers; one for each reflection engine. With low shelf, peak, and high shelf options, they become incredibly useful for shaping the coloration and character of the reverb, as well as for intentionally sustaining certain frequencies at their source.

Modulated tail

Toraverb also has an additional modulation parameter, which affects the diffusion network. These are responsible for spreading the reflections of the sound waves over time. By changing the modulation, the sound of the reverb tail can be altered to give a more realistic effect of sound propagation. The amount of modulation is controlled independently for early and late reflections.

Realistic crosstalk

To give a better impression of physical space, D16 added an innovative spatial reflection algorithm to Toraverb. This improves spatial reflections by interspersing some reflected stereo waves between both stereo channels. This models what happens in the real world when a single localized sound source is reflected and becomes audible to both ears, allowing for spatial localization and a greater sense of realism.

Early, Late-ish, Hall & Plate-ish

A quick and convenient combination of early and late reflections. Now, with balance parameters for both types of reflections, working in Left/Right or Mid/Side modes allows for retro reverb panning, or monoing your low-frequency early reflections while widening your longer mid-high tails.

Built-in ducking

Essential functionality in most studio situations. Toraverb features a built-in attenuator, which compresses the amplitude of the FX signal proportionally to the volume of the dry/unprocessed input, thus saving the overall output signal's energy. Having such a tool built into the plugin is a real time-saver for any music producer or studio engineer. There is no need to use any additional sidechain compression unit in your effects chain, simplifying this aspect of use to a minimum.
