TSAR-1 Reverb and TSAR-1R
Reverb
FOR A LONG TIME WE HAD A DREAM about cre-
ating the perfect reverb. The most obvious require-
ment was of course that it should sound extremely
good—like a natural room, and better. The reverb
tail should be classy and natural, but yet lush and
vibrant. It should range all the way from sophisti-
cated halls to a more modulated, sparse and dreamy
reverberation. A reverb that surrounds the listener
just as a real room does.
While experimenting with different novel reverb
designs we realized that the biggest challenge would
be to create a product that our users actually could
learn how to use. And that led us to the second re-
quirement: it need to be easy to use! We didn’t want
a reverb with fifty parameters, so complicated that
no-one ever dares to change anything, and by that
forces the user to use presets.
So once the algorithm
was finished we
started the work
of getting it
down to a
few, but
meaningful, parameters. But don’t be fooled by its
simplicity, it’s one of the most powerful reverbs ever
released.
After the original reverb, the TSAR-1, was finished,
we decided to go even further and make a natural
sounding reverb with just three parameters—and
that became the TSAR-1R. It has the same as-
tounding sonic qualities as the TSAR-1 (it’s exactly
the same algorithm), but focuses solely on natural
spaces. And with only three parameters: Time,
Predelay and Color, getting a good reverb has never
been easier.
