Shimmer Verb by 36db
Overview & Inspiration
Space isn’t just reverb—it’s movement, texture, and dimension. It’s the difference between a sound existing and a sound living.
Shimmer Verb is a free Max for Live device designed to take your sound anywhere—from tight, short spaces that add subtle depth to evolving, organic reverbs that breathe with movement. Push it further into vast halls and warehouse-sized ambiences with ease.
Add pitch shift to open up new textures, from musical harmonies to more abstract, experimental tones. The built-in Freeze function lets you hold sounds indefinitely, creating drones and infinite atmospheres that evolve over time.
To get you started, we’ve included 20 custom presets covering a wide range of spaces and styles that work across instruments, vocals, and sound design.
Features & Highlights
Versatile Reverb Engine – From tight, short spaces that add subtle depth to vast, warehouse-sized ambiences. Shimmer Verb adapts to your needs, whether you’re adding polish to vocals or creating otherworldly soundscapes.
Pitch Shift Control – Open up new harmonic textures with the built-in pitch shift. Create musical harmonies, octave shifts, or drift into abstract, experimental territories. The shimmer effect adds ethereal character that works beautifully on synths, pads, and atmospheric elements.
Freeze Function – Hold sounds indefinitely with the Freeze control. Perfect for creating drones, infinite atmospheres, and evolving textures. Lock a reverb tail in place and play over it, or use it as a sound design tool for experimental production.
Organic Movement – Unlike static reverbs, Shimmer Verb breathes with your music. The modulation creates evolving, organic spaces that add life and dimension to your productions.
20 Custom Presets – Carefully designed presets cover everything from subtle room ambience to massive cathedral spaces. Each preset is named and categorized for quick access—Springy, Slap Verb, Gated Verb, Plate, Tiled Room, Bending Down, School Hall, Echo Verb, and more.
Effects Rack Included – In addition to the Max for Live device, Shimmer Verb includes a complete Effects Rack with all 20 presets mapped for instant access and easy integration into your workflow.
Simple, Focused Interface – Eight intuitive controls give you everything you need without overwhelming complexity. Decay, size, diffusion, modulation, pitch shift, shimmer amount, freeze, and mix—all clearly labeled and instantly accessible.
How to Use
Drop Shimmer Verb onto any track—synths, drums, vocals, guitars, sound design elements—and explore the presets to find your starting point. The device works equally well as a subtle polish tool or an extreme sound design processor.
Use the pitch shift and shimmer controls to add harmonic richness to pads and leads. Engage the Freeze function during performance or sound design sessions to create evolving drones and atmospheric beds. Adjust decay and size to match your mix context, from tight and controlled to vast and expansive.
The included Effects Rack provides quick access to all 20 presets with snapshot recall, making it easy to audition different spaces and quickly find the perfect reverb character for your track.
