### 5/5 — CPUフレンドリーな、お買い得最新リバーブ

*2025-11-21*

iPad Mini 6という非力な環境で1s程度のコンボリューション・リバーブでも7-9%程度のCPU使用量になるため、アルゴリズム系のリバーブを探していたところ、あのAudio Damageさんから新リバーブが登場し、Youtubeの先行レビューワーも「馬鹿げた価格」という太鼓判？デスクトップ版は$39（イントロ$27）がiOSは$3ですからね。

早速使ってみたところ、CPU使用は2-3%程度に収まっており、期待通り。これなら個別のトラックに刺しても問題なさそう。
※追記:調子に乗って多めに突っ込んでみたら流石にCPU使用率は跳ね上がりました。

肝心のサウンドも、2sくらいの普通のリバーブは元より、ダッキングとShimmer で超ロングリバーブでもイイ感じにしてくれる。かなり深めにかけても破綻しない。

ハイパスや初期反射を内部で作り込んであるなど、Shimmer付きにも関わらずツマミの数は最小限で、細かいことは出来ないが、逆に操作性は良い。

他にもリバーブを見繕っておいてあったが、もうこれでリバーブはいいやと思いました。
