Wave Alchemy Pulse v1.1.0 WIN

In 1984, an entry-level digital reverb was released that would have a profound impact on modern music.

Over the past 30 years, the original PCM-60 has found its way into almost every high-end studio and has become synonymous with the tight, punchy reverb of the 1980s.

Features
The Original PCM Reverb
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation, a technology introduced in the early 1980s that would go on to become the dominant method of digital audio processing. The technology has improved greatly over the years, but in 1984 it was considered what we would now call lo-fi, grainy, or unrealistic. This was in stark contrast to the records and coils of the 1960s, which sounded organic, natural, and clean.
However, fast forward almost 40 years and it is these same characteristics that make the reverb so desirable today. Its sound is distinctive, punchy, and unmistakable.
The original unit was limited in capabilities and was often used as a send on a mixing desk where EQ, compression and other studio processing could be used to further enhance it. With Pulse, we’ve not only implemented custom DSP and tone controls to bring this classic into the modern era, but we’ve done it in a way that makes setting it up effortless and easy – whether you’re a producer looking for a quick, professional result or a songwriter just starting out on their own vocals…
Shape
The opening part of a sound is often the loudest, this is called the transient. Loud transients can cause a reverb to sound thin or weak because the delay, or tail, of the sound is much quieter. Pulse’s Shape control solves this problem by intelligently reducing the transient volume to make the Reverb signal lusher, thicker and darker in tone, without altering the original dry signal or requiring unnecessary sends and additional processors like traditional reverbs.
Modulate
Our custom Flux control was developed based on our years of experience using hardware reverbs. One of the most important elements that all great reverbs have in common is the sense of space and movement they create.
Flux creates the same behavior and sonic depth through clever level-dependent filtering and creative modulation. When used subtly, it can add a soft sense of 3D movement and depth. At extreme levels, you can explore whole new worlds of lush chorus-like modulations and lo-fi textures.
