Spectral Shimmer

About

Spectral Shimmer is a reverb plugin by Michael Norris. It is a suite of real-time spectral processing effects that can smear, blur, granulate or freeze audio. It processes both static audio files and live audio streams. Most of its effects convert audio to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform algorithm.

What it sounds like

Large FFT sizes can produce smooth, ethereal drone textures. The vendor describes such textures as suited to ambient music, experimental sound art and atmospheric sound design.
