Sony Oxford has announced the Oxford Reverb plug-in, designed from the ground up as a flexible stereo reverberation generator.

As well as providing presets, the Oxford Reverb also allows complete and total control over all of its many parameters. These include comprehensive Early Reflections and Reverb Tail sections, combined with integrated 5-band Parametric EQ. This gives the user the powerful facility to create virtual spaces freely, depending on artistic need. Options range from dry reflection ambiences, room and hall simulations, sound effects, all the way to wide open reverberant spaces with a very large range of possible texture and spatial character.

Features include:

• Real-time continuous control of virtually all parameters.
• 5-Band Fully Parametric EQ for use on reverb signal.
• Dual independent paths for both 'Early Reflections' and 'Reverb Tail' function.
• Each reverb path type can be used independently or in combination.
• Early Reflections section includes: control of 4 virtual room shapes, all with continuously adjustable sizes, listening position placement and logical high resolution control of all useful parameters.
• Reverb Tail section includes: variable delay compensation to set reverb tail start, control of reverb time, delay, dispersion and multiplicity of other functions which allow subtle fine-tuning of the reverb tail.
• High pass filter on the input and separate 'absorption' controls for each path.
• Around 150 presets for immediate use, under the headings of Dry Spaces, Ambient Effects, Vocal Reverbs, Plates, Post, Rooms, Chambers, Halls, Churches and Effects.

Designed for the Digidesign ProTools platform, compatible with ProTools HD (and HD Accel systems) and all supported ProTools LE systems. It is both Mac OSX and Windows XP compatible.
