Quartz Reverb | Algorithmic Reverb with Dual Damping for Ableton

Most reverb problems aren't about the reverb itself — they're about the tail. Too much low end in the decay and your mix goes muddy. Too much high end and it turns brittle. The fix is usually a separate EQ after the reverb, which means another plugin, another set of controls, another thing to automate.

Quartz Reverb puts independent low and high damping directly inside the reverb engine. Shape the tonal character of the tail at source — dark and intimate, bright and expansive, or anywhere between — without touching your effects chain. From tight room reflections to vast characterful halls, the diffusion circuit keeps the tail dense and musical even when pushed to extremes.

Built on the same algorithmic engine used in Ableton's Hybrid Reverb, with decay from 0.1 seconds to infinite freeze, and a full post-reverb processing chain in the Pro edition. One device, complete spatial control, exactly where you'd expect it in your session.

Built for session reliability

Optimised CPU performance means you can run multiple instances across a mix without compromise. Full automation support, instant preset recall, and zero plugin-bridging latency, it behaves exactly the way an Ableton native device should.

Designed the way Ableton would have done it

Every control is where you'd expect it. No buried menus, no unnecessary complexity. If you know Ableton, you know this device within 30 seconds of opening it.

Use it in everything you make

Straightforward commercial licence included. Your productions, your releases, your income, no restrictions, no additional fees.



What's Inside Quartz Reverb Pro

Quartz Reverb gives you direct control over the tonal character of the reverb tail through independent low and high damping controls working through a diffusion circuit. Shape everything from bright, shimmering spaces to dark, intimate chambers without touching your effects chain. The diffusion circuit keeps tails dense and musical even at extreme decay settings.

Crystal Clear Algorithmic Reverb Engine

Algorithmic reverb with independent low and high damping controls working through a diffusion circuit. Precise tonal shaping from bright, shimmering spaces to dark, intimate chambers. Decay from 0.1 seconds to infinite freeze. Size, modulation, distance, and dry/wet controls surface-level, no menus.

Dual Damping & Diffusion

Independent low and high frequency damping lets you shape the tonal character of the tail directly, without a separate EQ. The diffusion circuit controls tail density from sparse early reflections through to lush, chorused ambience.

Visual Feedback & Processing Chain (Pro)

Real-time spectrum analysis displaying wet and dry signals simultaneously. Interactive 3-band EQ with draggable control points. Dedicated stereo width control positioned post-EQ. All integrated, shape the reverb tail, sculpt the frequency content, and place it in the stereo field from a single device.

Why This Matters

Every Max for Live device we create follows one principle: remove friction, don't add features.
This tool is designed the way Ableton would have done it if they'd thought of it.

No subscription.
No unnecessary complexity.

Just a problem solved properly.

Hands-On Control That Responds Like Hardware

This device presents an intuitive interface designed for immediate creative results, all essential reverb parameters are visible simultaneously with clear labelling and logical grouping that mirrors your thought process whilst shaping space. The control layout eliminates menu diving, letting you adjust decay, damping, diffusion, and modulation parameters with the same directness as classic hardware reverb units.

Real-time parameter response ensures every adjustment translates immediately to your mix without latency or processing artifacts. The damping controls work interactively with the diffusion circuit, giving you tactile feedback as you shape your reverb character—twist low damping for brightness, adjust high damping for darkness, and watch how diffusion density transforms the tail texture as you move between sparse early reflections and lush, dense ambience.

See Exactly Where Your Reverb Is Sitting

The dual damping controls shape your tail tonally, but without visual feedback you're still making decisions by ear alone. Quartz Reverb Pro puts the signal in front of you, real-time spectrum analysis showing wet and dry simultaneously, so you can see how the reverb tail is affecting your frequency balance and act on it immediately.
The interactive EQ display gives you draggable control points across three bands. Grab a handle to adjust frequency and gain, Alt/Option drag for Q and slope, double-click to reset a band. Stereo width sits post-EQ in the chain, so you're expanding or narrowing the processed signal rather than the raw reverb output. The whole thing lives in one interface, no plugin hopping, no chain management.
