Shimmer Reverb Max for Live Audio Device

Creating evolving ambient textures and ethereal pad layers shouldn't mean bouncing between multiple plugins whilst losing your creative momentum. Shimmer Reverb brings algorithmic pitch-shifted reverberation directly into Ableton's interface, keeping you focused on sound design rather than wrestling with routing matrices. The result is immediate access to crystalline reverb tails, frozen ambient swells and otherworldly soundscapes without ever leaving your creative flow.

Both editions are built around Max 9's high quality shimmer algorithm, delivering studio grade reverb processing with full control over decay characteristics, diffusion density and pitch manipulation. The core engine provides precise damping for frequency shaping, modulation control for movement and chorusing effects, plus the essential freeze function that sustains reverberation infinitely for ambient production and experimental sound design. Whether you're crafting subtle space or dramatic atmospherics, both Standard and Pro editions give you complete control over every aspect of the shimmer effect.

Pro edition builds on this foundation with real-time visual feedback that reveals exactly what's happening to your audio. The interactive frequency display shows your EQ curve with draggable control points, whilst the integrated spectrum analyser displays both wet and dry signals simultaneously. Combined with stereo width control and a complete post-reverb processing chain, Pro delivers surgical precision for professional mixing contexts. Whether you choose Standard or Pro, you're getting authentic Max powered shimmer processing that integrates seamlessly with Ableton's native workflow.

Professional Max for Live Design

All devices built with optimised CPU performance, bulletproof stability, and intuitive interfaces tested by working producers for reliable session performance.

Seamless Ableton Integration

Every device integrates natively into Ableton Live with full automation support, preset management, and zero plugin-bridging latency for frictionless workflow.

Clear Commercial Licensing

All Max for Live devices supplied with straightforward commercial licenses—use them in your productions and client work with complete confidence.

Professional Shimmer Processing with Ableton Native Integration - Standard & Pro Editions Available

Whether you choose Standard or Pro edition, Shimmer Reverb operates as a true Ableton device with complete automation mapping and CPU-efficient processing. The Max architecture ensures stable performance across extended sessions, whilst the native interface responds instantly to MIDI controller assignments and maintains perfect sync with your project tempo.

Algorithmic Shimmer Engine with Full Parameter Control [Standard + Pro]

Both Standard and Pro editions deliver complete access to the high quality shimmer algorithm, providing precise control over pitch shifting, decay characteristics, diffusion density, modulation amount and frequency damping. The freeze function enables infinite sustain for ambient textures and experimental sound design, whilst the refined processing maintains clarity even with extreme parameter settings.

Integrated Visual Feedback and Advanced Processing Chain [Pro Edition]

Pro edition users gain real-time spectrum analysis displaying wet and dry signals simultaneously, combined with an interactive EQ display featuring draggable control points for surgical frequency shaping. The integrated 3-band parametric EQ and stereo width control provide complete post-reverb processing without external plugins, enabling precise mix-ready results within a single device.

Studio-Grade Audio Processing Built for Professional Workflows

Both editions are built with Max 9's proven DSP architecture, ensuring consistent audio quality and reliable performance across demanding professional contexts. Standard and Pro alike deliver efficient CPU usage that enables multiple instances without session slowdown, backed by ProducerStack's commitment to tested, tour-ready tools that work when creativity strikes.

Intuitive Control Surface with Complete Parameter Access [Standard + Pro]

Both Standard and Pro editions provide immediate hands on control through Ableton style rotary encoders for all shimmer parameters. The clean interface layout positions essential controls including size, decay, diffusion, pitch, modulation, shimmer intensity and damping for rapid workflow without menu diving.

Realtime parameter manipulation responds instantly to mouse movements and MIDI controller assignments, enabling expressive automation and dynamic sound shaping. The freeze button provides one-click access to infinite sustain, perfect for ambient production and live performance scenarios where sustaining textures are essential.

Pro Edition

Standard Edition

Drag

Advanced Visual Feedback and Integrated Processing Tools [Pro Edition]

Pro edition users see exactly what's happening to their audio through the custom-built frequency display. The interactive EQ curve shows three bands simultaneously with draggable control points, whilst Alt/Option dragging adjusts Q values and slopes. Double-clicking resets individual parameters, and filter toggles instantly show or hide high-pass, parametric and low-pass sections.

The integrated spectrum analyser provides real-time visual feedback of both wet and dry signals, enabling precise frequency decisions without external metering plugins. Combined with dedicated stereo width control, Pro edition delivers complete sonic control from initial processing through to final stereo placement within a single streamlined interface.
