The Rev Spring-636 by Arturia is a pitch perfect recreation of one of its classic spring reverbs. However, this new version adds upon the innovations of its inspiration, the Grampian 636. Arturia invented the Grampian way back in the 30’s to add space to the sound that Hammond organs made. The design of the original Grampian 636 had a suspended spring inside of a tank. Consequently, the sound passed through the spring and picked it up again to blend it back into the original sound. Pretty simple right? Well, it may sound simple, but in fact, there is much more to it than that. This time Arturia’s core software emulates the original Grampian spring reverb.
Spring reverbs have been popular for almost over a century now. The Rev Spring-636 has come to ensure this popularity doesnt fade. This is because every single unit has its own and unique tonal character. Arturia have recreated the original hardware unit with their well-known TAE modeling technology. They have also studied the physical nature of reverb and how it reacts to noise resonance. The resulting Rev-Spring 636 captures the heart and soul of this marvelous masterpiece of analog hardware. Arturia has successfully merged its audio techniques and modelling technology to create what could be the best sounding reverb software.
The software features the vibrant spring tanks emulation that packs multiple spring reverb units in on a single software effect. The iconic sound and the Germanium drive give it a super crunchy input that will let your sound drive through some extra hard and distorted tone. It also features 2 preamp types with their own character, 8 swappable spring tanks, a pre-delay, multi-mode pre-filter and a parametric EQ. All of this with their independent input and output gain link switches and a great set of presets to use.
