The Real Sound of Spring Reverbs

Spring reverbs are highly sought-after vintage audio equipment, but their rarity and high cost can make them inaccessible to many. Known for their unique, warm, characterful and organic tone, these reverbs have forged a sonic identity that spanned from the ‘50s to the ‘70s, and is back in vogue today.

Pulsar Primavera is a 6-in-1 reverberation plugin that includes devices heard on countless hits throughout the ages. From lo-fi to hi-fi, each tank precisely emulates the original units' electronic and mechanical behavior. Furthermore, exclusive spring tension and excitation controls offer a wider sound palette than typical convolution models.

The software is a complete reverb chain plugin with integrated saturation, filters, presence, and ducking controls. Get the signature “twang” tone that shaped music history, packed with next-gen features and a user-friendly interface.

Most digital spring reverbs sound flat and are poorly configurable because they sample real units rather than modeling them. With real-time physical modeling, Pulsar Primavera breaks free from these limits and allows manipulation of physical reverberation parameters, like spring tension or excitation, for unique and creative sound design possibilities.

Features

Six distinct and characterful spring reverbs
Drive and Saturation Mode: Adjust the level of saturation applied by the input preamplifier with the Drive knob. Uniquely, this saturation is also applied to the Dry sound
Tension: The Tension parameter alters the tension of the simulated springs to change the reverb’s character.
Excitation: The Excitation knob allows you to simulate springs shaking, similar to when clicked on with the mouse, but this time automatically.
Ducking: For those who are familiar with the kick/bass sidechain technique that is carried out with a compressor, the Ducking knob applies the same concept. It controls a compressor that reduces the reverb level when the instrument or voice passes through the reverb to clarify your mix easily.
Vibrating Springs: This feature perfectly captures the spirit of spring reverb units, allowing you to play with the device and find inspiration in a fun and rewarding way.
Predelay and Decay: You can control the length of the reverb tail, short or long, by using the Decay knob. Or adjust the delay between the original signal and the start of the reverberated sound with Predelay.
Width: Pulsar Primavera comes with a Width knob to let you control the stereo image of the reverb.
Presence: This knob creates a slight emphasis on the upper mids of your reverberated signal, enhancing the reverb's presence in the mix.
External Sidechain: The Ducking can optionally be set to use an external sidechain signal.
Filters: A choice of built-in 12dB/octave High-pass and Low-pass filters are also available to clean up your source before sending it into the reverb. These filters are processed just after the preamplifier emulation stage, and at their minimum value are deactivated after a notch.
