NOMAD FACTORY 80s Spaces v2 Trailer

In the Box

Welcome

The best reverbs from the 80s Era!

Nomad Factory, Plugivery and MoReVoX teamed up to bring you the ultimate “80’s Vibe” reverb plug-in.

The typical “80s gated reverbs”, super lush cavernous and sweeping tails, short rooms and chorused verbs are all there with minimal adjustments required. These allow you to quickly dial in, professional sounding reverb effects, and add them to your audio recordings.

The new version of the 80s Spaces plug-in offers even more impulse responses and presets than ever before:

• 250 high quality convolution IRs (+80 with v2)
• 12 reference reverb models (+5 with v2)
• 510 well organized presets (+110 with v2)

Have fun!

Time

Displays the current reverb length. Precisely, the time for the tail to decay to -60dBFS for a 0dBFS input signal (RT60).

The value is recalculated each time the attack, decay or gate values are adjusted.

Waveform

Shows the current reverb tail waveform, with applied attack, decay and gate values. The original (unmodified) tail is shown dimmed behind.

Panel selector

Switch between the INFO and WAVE panels

Meter

Displays output stereo signal level.

LEDs are:

• Green for levels from -60dBFS to -9dBFS
• Yellow between -9dBFS and 0dBFS
• Red at 0dBFS and above

Mix section

The mix section allows to adjust the input and output levels, and the reverb dry/wet mix.

Input

The input signal gain. Also applied to the dry signal (see Signal chain).

Mix

The mix between dry (input) and wet (reverb) signals. 100% is full wet / 0% is full dry.

The mix parameter is not affected by presets.

Output

The output signal gain. Applied to the mixed signal.

Reverb section

The reverb section allows to sculpt the reverb base and modify its properties. It can be used for subtle adjustments or drastic changes in the shape of the reverb.

Pre Delay

Sets the onset of the reverb effect, i.e. the delay between dry signal and reverb.

Attack

Sets the attack time of the reverb.

Decay

Sets the reverb tail length.

Gate

Sets the reverb length cut off. Use in conjunction with the decay parameter to create your classic gated effects.

Soft Gate

When enabled, the gate uses a longer release curve for a softer cut effect.

Effect section

The effect section allows to further process the reverb path with effects, to change the tone, add movement, etc.

Low Cut

Reverb high pass filter cutoff frequency.

Low Cut Slope

High pass filter slope, 6-12-24 dB/octave.

Tilt

Tilt filter amount. Turn left for a darker sound, right for a brighter sound.

High Cut

Reverb low pass filter cutoff frequency.

High Cut Slope

Low pass filter slope, 6-12-24 dB/octave.

Chorus

Amount of chorus effect to add to the wet signal. Adds movement and vintage vibe to the reverb.

Width

Widens stereo image up to 200% or narrows it down to 50%. May affect overall gain.

Color

Yellow switch adds early digital converter effect to the reverb path.

Red switch adds analog color. The effect is heavily input dependent and distortion can occur with high level incoming signals. Input level can be adjusted with the “trim” control.

Reverb browser

The browser allows to refine the list of available reverbs with filters. You can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate between reverbs.
