Eventide ShimmerVerb is a creative plug-in that combines extremely rich, atmospheric reverb with parallel pitch shifters to create ethereal textures, cinematic sound environments, and shimmer harmonic tails. Inspired by the famous Eventide H910, H949 and H3000 processors used in the historic productions of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, ShimmerVerb brings the classic shimmer effect to a modern interface designed for sound design, music production and live performance.

Eventide shimmer reverb for ambient and sound design

By combining reverb and parallel pitch shifting, Eventide ShimmerVerb transforms any audio source into a wide, deep, three-dimensional soundscape. Guitars, synths, voices, pads and samples instantly gain movement, spatiality and bright harmonics perfect for ambient, cinematic and electronic productions.

Advanced pitch shifting and musical harmonizations

Harmonic intervals and micro-pitching

The built-in pitch shifting system makes it easy to work with perfect fourths, fifths and octaves, as well as MicroPitch adjustments to create more natural harmonizations and advanced stereo widening. The total range covers four octaves, from two octaves below to two octaves above the original signal.

Synchronizable delays and creative feedback

Pitch signals can be delayed up to one second or synchronized to DAW tempo. The FEEDBACK control allows the signal to be fed back into the reverb for infinite tails, layered textures, and reverbs that gradually fade into extremely dense sound environments.

Performance controls for advanced sound design

RIBBON for real-time morphing

The RIBBON control allows multiple parameters to be changed simultaneously with a single gesture, ideal for creating dynamic transitions, atmospheric swells, and timbral variations during live performances or studio automations.

FREEZE and HOTSWITCH for immersive textures.

The FREEZE function captures and maintains reverb in a static, granular texture, perfect for drones, pads, and cinematic soundscapes. HOTSWITCH, on the other hand, allows you to instantly switch between two different configurations within the same preset, offering great creative flexibility when mixing or performing live.

Creative plug-in for professional music production

Eventide ShimmerVerb is an ideal solution for producers, composers, sound designers and electronic musicians looking for advanced shimmer reverbs, cinematic harmonizations and creative tools for modern, ambient and experimental productions.
