EXCELLENT DEMO. My fave so far. With a simple twist of a pot/knob the room changes size, surface material, etc. without any menu diving (and because it can memorize settings, no need to take knob setting photos when you hit the right combination). Erica was smart to send you one gratis, you lucky dog... they just made a sale from me thanks to this vid! Looking forward to future demos once you grok its full potential.

Thanks :) I do love that the controls have so much range rather than trying to fence you into approved safe territory. Am thinking maybe some heavy drum stuff next....

Applying buckets of reverb has always been the quick and easy path to ambient, at least here it also turns a mono bass synth into a washy poly :D

I love it but £500 for a reverb unit... Hmm... Dreadbox? Strymon? Zoom? Boss? There are a lot of other quality reverbs out there. I love Erica synths, slowly becoming a fan of them but their gear is too expensive. I want them to update the perkons and put some form of digital reverb in there. It's one of their flagship units and costs near £2k
@KeithDuncanSoundАй бұрын
Brilliant demo by the way thank you!
@RichardDeHoveАй бұрын
There are lots of excellent high-end reverbs out there, some even more expensive than the Nightverb. In that top tier you can safely rely that they all have a top quality sound. So then maybe the decisive factor becomes something else - price, functionality, size, looks, or a single specific feature. For me what sets the Nightverb apart is that it feels designed to be played. I also have the Big Sky and although it has plenty of knobs they feel more like programming aids than something you'd use while performing. Others I've tried were even more strongly a case of selecting the preset and moving on. The Nightverb is also clearly a desktop unit rather than something that lives on the floor with a pedal button which is another indicator it should be tweaked. Erica and firmware? Couldn't agree more. For me the LXR-02 is screaming out for some love and even the DB-01 could do with some extras like a enhanced FM and ratchets. My guess is most of their programming power is currently going into the new Steampipe synth and after that the great eye will swing back to Perkons.

@RichardDeHove5 ай бұрын
Well, what I was doing here was very raw. But I do really like that all the controls have guts. The bass and treble controls make a massive difference to the tone, likewise the early reflections vs late. The pre-delay can be used for all sorts of initial effects, then the big size knob, and feedback and .... I have never had a reverb unit with these sorts of aggressive immediate controls. And it's beautiful :) I'm a fan.

pity you don't show the Freeze, and never use damping - could provide 'headroom' on certain frequencies to push the machine further to extremes. waiting for a new vid, there's still no more demos from other users
@RichardDeHove4 ай бұрын
Agreed! The damping makes a huge difference but this was literally day one so I was twiddling as many parameters as I could vaguely understand :) Edit: The freeze function is interesting but requires careful handling to make it shine especially since the incoming signal is then dry. I find you need another effect in series so you can play against the freeze. Of course that's highly dependent on the original sound. Another video coming soon.
