ValhallaDSP’s Supermassive plugin takes you to the farthest reaches of sonic exploration, delivering massive space-themed sounds that live up to its name. Whether you’re crafting lush reverb trails or celestial soundscapes, this free plugin is packed with surprises.
Features
Though Supermassive can handle effects like choruses and other more common processing, its real strength lies in its ability to create expansive, otherworldly soundscapes. The plugin’s unique design ensures a wide range of cosmic sounds, even if it doesn’t offer many traditional reverb options. Some key features include:
- Capable of huge, epic reverbs
- Unique algorithms designed for space-like effects
- Versatile sound-shaping capabilities beyond typical reverbs
Sound Quality
Like other ValhallaDSP plugins, Supermassive delivers exceptional sound quality. If you’re after deep, lush reverbs that feel like they stretch into the outer reaches of the galaxy, this is the tool for you. Despite its galactic leanings, Supermassive can also pull off more intimate, subtle effects, thanks to the well-designed presets that showcase its versatility.
User Interface
While the clean interface may not blow you away visually, it’s highly functional. One thing to note is that the parameter names and functions can be a bit unconventional, which may take some time to fully grasp. Fortunately, Supermassive includes a helpful tooltip system that activates when you hover over each control, giving you a clearer understanding of how each parameter affects your sound.
