Cloud Seed: An Infinite Reverb for Creating Ethereal Worlds
Welcome to the world of boundless sound with Cloud Seed! This unique algorithmic reverb from Valdemar Erlingsson isn’t just another spatial processing plugin. It’s a gateway to deep, ethereal soundscapes, where every sound finds its place in the vast, infinite embrace of reverberation and mysterious modulated echoes. Cloud Seed is designed for those who seek to add an atmosphere and scale to their musical creations that goes beyond the ordinary.
History and Concept
At the heart of Cloud Seed’s algorithms lie the same principles used in many legendary studio reverbs of the golden age of the music industry – the 1980s. However, it’s important to emphasize that Cloud Seed is not an emulation of a specific device. Its developer aimed to create something unique, not limited by the past, but offering new possibilities for contemporary creativity. It’s not a “Swiss Army knife” of reverbs for everyday tasks. Instead, it is a masterful tool for creating specific, artistic effects that can completely change the character of your sound.
Applications and Features
Cloud Seed performs best when used as a special effect. Take a simple, perhaps even dry sound – a synthesizer chord, a vocal phrase, a guitar arpeggio – and run it through Cloud Seed. You’ll be amazed at how quickly and effectively it transforms into a thick, rich, “fat” pad or fills with multi-layered, breathing atmospheric textures. Modulated echoes add movement and life, and the vast size of the space allows the sound to bloom and take its place in the mix, not conflicting with other elements, but complementing them with its depth. Cloud Seed opens the door for experimentation with sound design, allowing you to create textures that were previously only possible with complex effects chains or expensive hardware devices.
