Eventide ShimmerVerb is an H9 Series reverb plug-in designed to deliver expansive and luscious reverb sounds along with subtle to extreme pitch-shifting, rendering it a handy tool for ambient music production, sound design, and film scoring. Keep the reverb sound simple, or transform it with the two parallel pitch-shifters, which can be delayed up to one second or synchronized to the tempo of your DAW session. In addition to the onboard Ribbon and Hotswitch controls, which allow you to morph or switch between two configurations of the parameters, live MIDI control is also possible.
Adjust reverb decay time, reverb size, and feedback as well as which frequencies will feed back. A simple press of the Freeze button yields infinite reverb. Managing your levels is easy, thanks to the input and output sliders and dedicated I/O meters. Eventide ShimmerVerb is compatible with macOS/Windows computers and Apple iOS-based mobile devices, and supports AAX Native, Audio Units, VST2, and VST3 plug-in formats.

Reverb with Pitch-Shifting
ShimmerVerb combines a massively lustrous reverb with parallel pitch-shifters to add ethereal layers making any signal shimmer. Oftentimes, producers would achieve the effect by using Eventide pitch-shifting hardware such as the H910, H949, or H3000 (or other rack mount units) in combination with a reverb. This production technique was popularized by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno on U2’s The Unforgettable Fire.
Updated Functionality
Now, this iconic sound has been refined and extended with a modern, unified interface that is great for adding dreamy ambience to guitars, keys, synths, samples, and vocals. In typical Eventide fashion, features have been added such as the ability to infinitely feed back the signal, resulting in cascading reverbs that smear into oblivion. Feedback can be further fine-tuned by specifying which frequencies are fed back through the low, mid, and high crossover network.
Extended Control
ShimmerVerb shines via its playable, performance-based parameters. The Ribbon is an easy-to-program performance macro allowing users to morph between two settings with one control. Desktop users can plug in a MIDI keyboard and gain tactile command over this function via the modulation wheel. Ribbon mappings are great for feedback swells, moving the pitch knobs, or changing the size for a massive detuning result. ShimmerVerb also boasts a Hotswitch for calling up another state of parameters inside the same preset. Use this for changing octaves, turning off/on the pitch-shifters, or simply turning the mix up or down while crafting your performance. Finally, the Freeze button allows you to make smeared textures out of single voices, full pads, or percussive elements resulting in metallic shimmers.
