Fors has introduced Sala, a free reverb effect that they say can turn even the smallest of sounds into a wash of shimmering textures.
All sounds in the video comes from a Roland MC-202, processed solely through Sala.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Great care has been taken to ensure that Sala can assist any sound in reaching the furthest points of our galaxy with ease. It’s an incredibly unrealistic reverb with a lot of character, distilled into merely five controls from which you can take all kinds of twists and turns.
Sala’s pre-diffusion stage can be navigated between a gentle softening effect to an up-close and personal sound, like zooming in on the details with a camera. Zoom all the way out and the edges start to fade out of focus into pure ambience.”
Sala is available now – for Linux, Mac and Windows – as a free download, with signup at the site.
