Places

Controls

PLACE

Selects one of the 12 algorithms.

REVERB

Shapes the selected place. Depending on the algorithm, it changes size, decay, density, tone, echo feedback or movement. Range: 0-100%. Default: 45%.

MIX

Sets the balance between the original sound and the reverb. Range: 0-100%. Default: 25%.

PRE-DELAY

Delays the reverb signal by 0-500 ms. Default: 0 ms.

Amber lamp

Bypasses Places. The lamp and your DAW's bypass control operate the same parameter. Lit means active; dim means bypassed.

How Places behaves

REVERB is a different control in each place. In a plate, it primarily changes how long the plate-like tail rings. In Echo Room, it also increases the echo feedback. In Infinite Elevator, it strengthens and speeds up the rising tones.

PRE-DELAY affects the processed signal after the selected algorithm. At 0 ms it adds no delay. Places reports zero plugin latency, so the original sound remains in time with the track. Bypass uses a short crossfade to the original sound.

Places supports mono and stereo operation.

Algorithms

Places

Crystal Castle

A wide, airy reverb that lifts the tail into shimmering octave tones. Turn up REVERB for a larger, longer-lasting crystal space.

Echo Room

A close, warm room with two soft echoes, a touch of plate sheen, and repeats that gradually lose their brightness. REVERB adds ambience and more echo feedback.

Gravity Void

An immense, slowly blooming space with a dark, lingering tail. REVERB expands its size, movement and decay. Even low settings retain its vast character.

Haunted Chapel

A shadowy reverb with gentle pitch movement and a choir-like color. REVERB grows the cloud into a larger, more sustained space.

Infinite Elevator

A spacious tail with tones that seem to rise without reaching the top. REVERB strengthens the climb and makes its cycle a little faster.

Starfall Observatory

A broad, floating space with soft octave shimmer that gently falls in pitch, like a trail of falling stars, surrounded by a diffuse halo. REVERB opens up the space and extends the tail.

Reverbs

Concert Hall

A natural concert-hall sound with detailed early reflections and a deep, wide tail. REVERB takes it from intimate to immense.

Hall

A classic, dramatic hall that builds from diffuse early echoes into a smooth, spacious tail. REVERB increases its scale and sustain.

Plate Bloom

A full, classic plate sound with a lively onset and a dense, smooth tail. REVERB acts like a damper, setting how long it rings.

Plate Sheen

A warm, dense plate with a clear, even midrange, a smooth onset and a bright, silky upper tail. The hard 2-6 kHz edge fades sooner than the body, and the low bass decays early. REVERB extends both the body and the sheen.

Plate Sizzle

A bright, round plate voiced for snare. It leaves the hit itself to the drum, then blooms into a dense, smooth wash with a touch of warmth and a long, silky snare-wire shimmer. REVERB lengthens its decay.

Room

A believable room with close, detailed reflections and a warm, natural tail. REVERB moves from a compact studio to a larger room.

Installing

VST3 (Windows)

Copy Places.vst3 to:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\

VST3 (Linux)

Copy Places.vst3 to:

~/.vst3/

macOS

Run:

Places-<version>.pkg

The installer includes both VST3 and Audio Unit. Use Customize during installation if you only want one of them.

Your host may need a plugin rescan or restart before Places appears.
