Eventide Audio has introduced Temperance Pro, a new audio effect for Mac & Windows that they describe as the “World’s Most Musical Reverb”.

Temperance Pro features 29 spaces, spanning intimate rooms, grand halls, lush mechanical reverbs, and experimental synthetic spaces. The collection includes faithful recreations of legendary acoustic spaces, including several designed by acoustics pioneer Ralph Kessler, alongside original creations built specifically to showcase modal reverb technology.

The plug-in also eatures over 120 presets, including 11 tutorial presets. Professional features include ultra-low latency suitable for live performance, fully automatable controls, Dual Mono mode, A/B comparison states, and Eco Mode for CPU optimization.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Temperance Pro speaks the language of music, operating on the 12-note chromatic scale, letting users create spaces that feel musically intentional rather than incidental.

This unique modal approach models reverb as collections of thousands of independent resonators, each one adjustable in real-time for unprecedented ways to shape space.”

Here’s Eventide’s playlist of intro videos for Temperance Pro:

Temperance Pro introduces two controls for advanced shaping of musical texture:

• Target Select controls when tempering happens in time, choosing whether selected notes bloom with early reflections, with the late reflections during the reverb tail, or both.
• Note Width defines how many nearby modes are included in each note, with lower settings offering more musical precision and higher settings affecting more of the overall reverb for broader, more pronounced results.

Three powerful note selection methods add depth and creative potential:

• Manual Mode offers note-roll style input with instant access to chords, scales, modes, or intervals through the Choose Scale dialog.
• Sequence Mode programs note changes to follow chord progressions with adjustable beat grid and session offset for precise timeline positioning.
• MIDI Mode provides real-time keyboard control with Octave Repeat, offering an immediate and tactile way to work, whether performing live or sketching ideas in the studio.

Three modal controls offer new ways for shaping space:

• Position adjusts the balance between early and late reflections, working independently from tempering.
• Density controls how many modes are active, from full quality reverb to progressively fragmented, lo-fi tones.
• Offset shifts the center frequencies of all modes by up to ±500Hz independent of temper settings, changing the pitch of the entire space for dramatic results.
