DSP-Perfect Classic Video Game Reverb Plugin.

This reverb plugin has painstakingly emulated the sound of classic video games on the SNES, N64 and PlayStation.

Impact Soundworks’ GameVerb models reverbs heard on Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Final Fantasy and more.

Impact Soundworks has announced the release of a reverb plugin emulating the reverbs heard on classic video game consoles like the SNES, Nintendo 64 and PlayStation.

Due to the limitations of these consoles’ hardware, game designers had to be resourceful in programming effects like reverb, making use of “special algorithms, filters and delays” that were light on the CPU; this led to the development of unique-sounding reverbs that Impact Soundworks has recreated with the GameVerb plugin.

GameVerb models the reverbs heard on three consoles, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and the original PlayStation, with tons of presets available emulating the sound of games like Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong Country and Ocarina of Time.

As for control, usual suspects like size, feedback, damping, and width are complemented with a “hardcore” Geek Mode that gives you in-depth control over “every obscure quirk and parameter” of the emulated reverbs.

GameVerb is equipped with pre- and post-processing low-pass filters along with adjustable sample rate reduction and bit-rate reduction for achieving that distinctly ’90s lo-fi vibe.

GameVerb is available now priced at $49 for macOS and Windows in VST/AU/AAX formats. (VST, AU, AAX)

Make Noise let us know that their QMMG Eurorack module is available again, with the 2024 Black & Gold Edition QMMG.

The Quad Multi-Mode Gate is a ‘riff’ on the original Buchla 292 Quad Lo-Pass Gate. The QMMG offers additionally: HiPass mode, Voltage Controlled Feedback, Direct Coupling and Normalizations so that multiple channels may easily be used together to create Bandpass Gates, steeper HP, BP or LP Filters, and even something like a traditional Synthesizer Voice Architecture.

What they say about it:

“The legendary QMMG returns, in a limited run! Launched in 2008 and initially only available until 2010, the QMMG (or Quad Multi-Mode Gate) has taken on a near mythical status in the world of Eurorack modules for its sound, feature set and abundance of Vactrols. A small run of QMMGs (reissued with Black & Gold faceplates) was created for the Make Noise 10-Year anniversary here in Asheville in 2018, and the current 2024 Black & Gold Edition represents the first time QMMGs have been available in shops for over a decade!

We built as many QMMGs as we could source parts for, and we are shipping QMMGs to dealers worldwide— they will be available for purchase on September 9, 2024.”

• 2024 Black & Gold Edition
• Vintage voiced, all analog
• Four independent vactrol-based channels
• Multiple modes per channel: VCA, Low-Pass Gate, Low-Pass Filter, or High-Pass Filter

Synthesist and sound designer Espen Kraft shared this video preview for Alpha Juno Pad Heaven, a new sound library for the vintage Roland Alpha Juno synthesizers.

It’s all about pads, pads, pads, says Kraft:

“Pads, strings and sweeps. I’ve also thrown in some ambient arps. It’s all about fat and lush sounds, perfect for synthpop, soundtracks, ambient or whatever your creativity demands.”

The library features 64 new patches (a full sysex bank) for the Roland Alpha Juno-1/2, MKS-50, HS-80 and all VSTs that can import original Alpha Juno sysex bank files.

Alpha Juno Pad Heaven is available now for $15.
