REQ: Reverb Foundry by LiquidSonics Tai Chi v1.3.0

INFO:
Tai Chi is a next-generation ensemble reverb specialising in luscious chorused reverbs that are perfect for synth, guitar, electric piano and vocals.

Powerful Atmos Ensemble Reverb
Featuring surgical multi-band reverb editing, rich chorusing and empowering control over fidelity and dynamics, Tai Chi has the flexibility and dexterity you need to give compositions a rich and energetic new dimension.

Envisioned as the perfect combination of heritage vibe and contemporary class, Tai Chi is an unbelievably rich yet pristine algorithmic character reverb.

The perfect combination of the deep editing potential of the past with the ease of use of the present, Tai Chi is perfect for synth swells, vocals and electric pianos.

If the full fat Tai Chi is more than you need right now, try Tai Chi Lite. With the same great chorus, reverb and reflections engine but without the multi-band, fidelity and dynamics engines it is the ideal low-cost route to a rich and luscious reverb for your production arsenal. Upgrade at any time to the standard edition if you find you can’t resist going a little deeper!

Sound Design Bliss
For reverb decay time shaping we always had to choose between the rigid but high-precision sculpture of multi-band decays or the smoothly evolving in-loop roll-off of traditional reverb time multiplier contouring filters.

With up to four bands of decay time control, two contouring filters and a low damping filter Tai Chi has by far the most flexible algorithmic reverb decay shapes found in the industry.

Whether it’s for creative sound design or realistic space simulation – or a combination of the two – you’ll appreciate the dexterity and versatility of Tai Chi.

The Dynamic Duo
An essential feature of modern reverbs, ducking and compression allow you to improve the clarity and intelligibility of vocal phrases by keeping the reverb out of the way when it matters most and letting it flood in to fill the gaps when you need it.

Tai Chi lets you apply dynamics to the wet mix or just the reverb itself. This means the spatialisation provided by the reflection engine is never compromised even when extreme reverb ducking is called for.

When used in conjunction with the shape control for natural reverb attacks your music will blend effortlessly into the space with just a few quick edits.

Ensemble... and then some!
Tai Chi has a rich and luscious chorus. With scores of synchronised modulated reads distributed throughout the reverb it thickens synth and guitars beautifully whilst avoid the characteristic dragging sharp and flat in many heavily chorused reverbs of old.

Of course if you want some heavy detuning or dissonant reverberant drifting we’ve got you covered, it is only a click away!

Subtle chorus can be dialled in to elevate and enrich virtually any source, or more extreme settings can create dramatic soundscapes that quickly diverge into a psychedelic aura.

You will also find the ‘wander’ type modulations wonderful for creating the thick and gritty reverbs associated with some of the most famous hall reverb algorithms of the past.
