Bloom-style reverb?

[Jesse]

On a casual listen it sounds like one of the "cloud" type Reverbs to me. I have something like that in my kitchen sink preset, but I don't remember which specific type it is.

He’s using a ton of decay time so it does sound cloud-like, but cloud reverbs don’t have that bloom/swell effect.

The ADSR idea made sense to me but couldn’t figure out what to apply it to?

I have it on the input gain on the reverb block. The attached preset should illustrate where it goes.

@iaresee you're on fire! That sounds fantastic. Factory preset 352 "Reverb DynaMix" uses a similar ADSR technique to crossfade a delay into a reverb.

The Megatap pre-swell technique works really too. I modified Factory preset 350, Plex Verb 8x2, by replacing the Multitap Delay block with the Megatap "Reverb Pre-Swell". Attached here for anyone who wants to try.

These requests are incredibly fun puzzles that are a great distraction from my awful day job and the leak in my upstairs bathroom tub that's destroyed my kitchen ceiling.

There are a variety of techniques that you can use. Another technique would be to put a Volume block in front of the Reverb with the type set to Auto-Swell. Or use a Gate block with a long attack time. Or connect the Envelope Follower to the Reverb's Input Gain.
