Convolution Reverb That's Easy on the CPU
McDSP Revolver is a high-powered convolution reverb plug-in that gives you the power to totally sculpt impulse responses to suit your taste. With literally hundreds of sounds from rare, venerable out-of-production reverbs and acoustic spaces, Revolver provides the most compelling impulse library to date. Convolution is a method used to extract and replicate acoustic spaces and other equipment with unmatched precision, combining with Revolver's extraordinary processing power for flexibility normally found in ultra-high-end outboard reverbs. Version 7 introduces several optimizations to this powerful plug-in, with full support for Apple Silicon and the latest Intel processors, a high-definition user interface, over 1,500 studio-quality presets, zero-latency algorithms, and much more. With dedicated and routable EQ, two syncable delay lines, and specialized stereo imaging, McDSP Revolver offers unprecedented control over your mix!
Note: The Native version of McDSP Revolver is compatible with non-Avid HDX systems. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information.

Record your own spaces
Also included with Revolver is a complete toolset to record your own rooms and gear. When tapped into this feature, Sweetwater producers were able to record any acoustic space, outboard gear, or signal path, which is then modeled in minutes using Revolver and its analysis tools. Other impulse responses can be imported, and Revolver will automatically locate the best starting point for the impulse response and calculate a fade from the noise floor if one is present.
Includes EQ and delay lines
Revolver has two bands of dedicated shelving EQ and three additional bands of routable EQ. The EQ routing system has 18 different insert combinations. Revolver's two programmable delay lines have five different possible insert combinations. The delay lines are each three seconds long and can be panned and synced to MIDI beat clock independently for a variety of tempo-based effects. Additionally, all parameter adjustments are heard immediately, and the outputs are not muted during any control updates. You don't need to wait while the reverb is "re-rendered."
Additional controls to shape the sound you want
In addition to the usual reverb length, wet/dry mix controls, EQ, and delay, Revolver adds positive and negative predelay, controls for the articulation and overall attack of the sampled impulse, as well as other specialized stereo field controls. Separate from the delay lines, Revolver's split delay feature can be used to create an image shift of up to 50ms, between the left and right channels. The split dampening and selectable diffusion controls can accentuate an image shift in the frequency domain.
3-band crossover controls reverb tails on the fly
Revolver's optional 3-band crossover provides control over the specific tonal characteristics of the reverb tail over time, separating out the lows, mids, and highs. This is applied directly to the impulse response, essentially rendering on the fly and saving on system overhead.
