ADPTR AUDIO Utopia v1.0.0 [WiN]

The spectral reverb that shapes space, time and texture

Overview

The creators of the acclaimed Metric AB, ADPTR AUDIO have worked with Geraint Luff of Signalsmith Audio to bring you Utopia: Plugin Alliance’s first ever spectral reverb. Go beyond conventional convolution reverbs and enter a realm of lush, evolving, cinematic soundscapes. Craft long, dense textures with unparalleled clarity and mystery.

Paint your sonic canvas with reverb

Utopia isn’t just another reverb: it’s a powerful compositional and harmonic tool with a revolutionary spectral processing engine. Its unique algorithm meticulously tracks and transforms harmonic content in real time, offering a wealth of parameters and an unprecedented level of control.

Reverb reimagined

Sculpt focus, density, and intricate harmonic details to conjure unique, highly textured spatial effects – from ethereal choirs to dystopian sonic feverdreams. Utopia is made for ambient producers and composers looking to discover new soundscapes, and producers seeking to redefine how space is perceived.

Unprecedented control with real-time spectral processing

Utopia’s spectral approach unlocks a new dimension for reverb tail transformation. Its spectral algorithm dynamically dampens only the harmonic content that clashes, preserving clarity as new sounds enter, without sacrificing sustain. The result is dense, more sonically complex reverbs with an otherworldly sense of depth and clarity.

Powerful, innovative, harmonic tools

Isolate, shape, and manipulate the fabric of harmonic content; Sculpt a new sense of space with Utopia’s groundbreaking controls: Focus strips back your sound to its pure harmonic essence; Atmosphere subtly enhance details and grain or smooth out transients for a lusher tone; Spectral Blocks control harmonic resonance – longer blocks add harmonically rich sounds with slower blooms, shorter blocks give snappier more angular responses.

Made for experimentation

Utopia combines a new level of control with an intuitive interface and a whole host of presets for engaging experimentation. Use the color section to effortlessly transition from flat to colored reverb responses. This single, smooth control affects decay, spectral characteristics, and post EQ. Then mold the onset and initial decay of the reverb with the Shape section. Each shape preset offers a unique configuration for swells, fades, and sustain.

Automate and innovate

Utopia includes advanced controls for automation and synchronization to unlock the rhythmic potential of Utopia across the stereo field: There’s a Volume Shaper with Ducking, Gating, and Pumping modes that’s fully editable and syncable to tempo or sidechain; a Buffer Reset to instantly reset the audio buffer with BPM-synced MIDI triggers or manual control via a MIDI-automatable button, and a Weight Send Control for post-fade send automation and inserts effects.
