A Playstation 1 Reverb...for your DAW

[@nakavelliOfficial]

Just bought it, I ALWAYS TRUST TFs reviews and you've never lead me wrong, this VST is amazing!

[@sinisterj73]

That sounds fantastic. Nostalgia is in full effect here these days. Lovin it.

[@Thought-Forms]

not too shabby sounding! nostalgia overload

[@hippyhobo6285]

There was another person online who released a pack of Impulse Responses meant to emulate this reverb. Obviously not the same as the algorithm but its still an alternative. It also comes with IRs of other PSX sounds, so you can experiment with bizarre yet textural sound design as well.

[@ShirobonTV]

That was me! They are free to download on my bandcamp but this plugin looks great if you wanna play around and get a little deeper/explore other console sounds :)

[@hernanpedraza7]

Thanks for your hard work man! ​@@ShirobonTV

[@Thought-Forms]

@@ShirobonTV the goat!

[@enderjed2523]

If I remember those IRs were also included in Plogue's Chipcrusher, which also emulated the SNES's delay.

[@Maplefoxx-vl2ew]

@@ShirobonTV it was!, i been using them, thank you

[@DannyKavka]

Oh wow.... I was assuming this was just another skinned set of IRs but it sounds like someone finally did a straight simulation of the PS1 verb. Oh... It's Impact Soundworks. Their Super Audio Cart and verb were the best until Plogue made their version, and even then it's still pretty cool to have those sounds sampled from hardware.

[@Amangiechsin]

thank you for putting me onto Plogue

[@megamatt1915]

If only they made a VST with this level of emulation but for the lofi, bit-crushed sound quality that these console’s sound chips produced. would be a massive help

[@hippyhobo6285]

@megamatt1915 what you're looking for is called DAC emulation. There's quite a few of those. Also, if you have Amigo, that inherently comes with the lower samplerate that the Amiga did, which was used for a lot of early 90s tracks, including songs from video games

[@megamatt1915]

@@hippyhobo6285 thanks for giving me the term 🙌 and yeah, i’ve heard that amigo does well with that, as well as dismort and RX1200 (which is an SP1200 emulator). so you definitely can get pretty far with those to get to that 90s lofi processed sound. but i wish, similar to the plugin in this video, that the specific algorithms that these consoles had when processing sound could be directly emulated in a plugin so we can get as accurate as possible.

[@Thought-Forms]

@@megamatt1915 Gameverb has downsampling / bit rate reduction controls in the signal path (in the context of the reverb/delay effects.) Andrew at Impact let me know that the bit rate reduction uses an algorithm from the SNES specifically that acts a sort of lossy compression. Maybe they should detach that from Gameverb and sell as a standalone "DAC" VST? 😃

[@megamatt1915]

@@Thought-Forms yes!! that would be amazing

Dreams is absolutely best sound quality with over 100 Tracks 192khz playing smoothly.

[@kensley94]

0:21 this sound triggers the same experience as your life flashing before your eyes, but instead with ptsd and danger, its with nostalgia. In the mids of the messed up world of high-tech social media culture, a rewind in lightspeed back to simpler time as these is something I truly long for sometimes........... I'm deviating....this about recreating ps1 reverb with gameverb.. Imo the plugin is a bit expensive, if they lower their price or when its on cheap sale, I'll keep this in mind.

[@Thought-Forms]

The power of the PSX intro 😃 I think some intro pricing would have benefited them and maybe a tad cheaper. But it does do what it do, and I'm not sure too certain of anything else similar out there

[@tz64nk41]

Oh it's from Impact Soundworks! They also have a synth designed to emulate the 8bit & 16bit consoles.

[@BKTHENXRD]

Bro you're so goated 😭

[@Thought-Forms]

[@Bittamin]

I’m curious, since this is new and you’ve been making jungle for quite a while now, along with other oldschool genres. What reverbs have you been using prior to this existing? Would you say this one is going to replace you past workflow indefinitely? Thanks! 🎉

[@agonz2011]

He has other videos and he has used the Zoom Studio 1201 and Quadraverb, to name a few.

[@Thought-Forms]

Outboard FX 95% of the time, if I do anything ITB it has historically been Arturia Reverb Intensity & the stock Bitwig Delay. If I were making some PSX-esque / silent hill horror stuff ITB I'd reach for Gameverb 100%. For any drum & bass to release, I wouldn't use it. It's pretty niche IMO (and dont mean that in a bad way)

[@morgan0]

i think the reverb in goodhertz lossy and megaverb have a nice retro sound. im not sure if it's the same retro sound, but they don't sound modern at least

[@irradix213]

I was telling my old drummer this the other day, I missed their hall

[@Muldvarp_]

yo this is straight up dope!

[@kleev6576]

This is awesome!! I got it day 1. I always wanted a PS1 tracker, I guess making music in a regular DAW is much easier and fun, but with a dedicated PS1 composer, we could have the actual limitations of a PS1 as well. In some trackers, you can even see the sound chip RAM usage to know if you're within the console's specs. I would love to have that combined with this reverb! I really want to make it as legit as possible :D

[@madguy228]

not a tracker but what you're looking for is music 2000

[@RoloTonyBrown]

Damn I wonder what the Saturn’s SCSP algos are like

[@tannera.3359]

This is just insane to witness. Again, I am serious. Thought-Forms will be writing music for indie devs aiming to capture the original sound for their retro games.

PlayStation 2 boot up sound tutorial when 👀 I just know it was a preset on the Emu Orbit 9090

[@Rr0gu3_5uture]

Yep, it was the syn:1KeyRush preset. I only ever owned, and still use a mid '90s E-mu esi32 sampler, never owned any of their romplers, but friends did. I'm not surprised so many E-mu presets ended up in game, TV and film soundtracks though. The quality of the samples, along with the synth architecture and z-plane filters in these machines were fantastic.

what do you use now

[@Thought-Forms]

[@gmorb666]

Hows this compare to snesverb. Isnt snesverb the same thing?

[@mmr2241]

Snes only have echo delay effect with 8 fir filter coeficients.

[@agonz2011]

Oh man, there goes my wallet, crying again.

[@Thought-Forms]

while the world is falling apart, you'll be dialing in some tasty reverbs in your dimly lit studio. a worth investment, imo!

[@mbnqpl]

49$ ?! You can have it for free, cmon. If it was like 19$ I'd say ok, not worth for diggin around, but 50 bucks is too much.

ive been trying to figure it out for months but i didnt want to ask lol. i think a little bit of indian but im really bad at discerning region. rest is the default american/midwest(???) accent.

[@ZachNa]

@@nostalgia_junkie I don't think it's Indian but I'm also no expert. I just figured it was some north american region far away from where I am. Like french canadian or something.

@@Vingul If the sound is good, it doesn't matter. I would maybe buy it for 20-30.

[@Vingul]

@@HenritheHorse so you don’t think it’s worth 50 dollars? ;) I’m sure some VSTs are worth paying 20-30 dollars for but there are so many free alternatives.. not deep enough into music making yet, I guess. But I truly don’t get buying lots of different reverbs, for instance, like it’s going to make one’s music much better.
