Pas convaincu

Je joue sur Loopy pro et je cherche une reverb pour ma voix. J’ai vu des bon avis sur celle-ci mais aucune démo sur une voix donc j’ai voulu essayer, ça ne marche pas du tout. Déjà vous ne pouvez pas régler le decay et le size distinctement donc impossible d’avoir un réglage pertinent. Ensuite si vous cherchez un réglage large mais pas envahissant (entre 1 et 1.5 sec de decay) vous aurez systématiquement un son métallique atroce, et tous les boutons à disposition ne changeront rien à ça. Pas intuitif du tout.
Je ne mets pas 1 étoile car elle peut être utile pour des reverb artistiques assez exagérées mais pour une reverb de confort pour voix oubliez.

Indispensable

The UI is boring but it brings lots of sonic sauce

Randomization

Hi,The lack of randomization for synthesizers and effects is a limitation of hardware devices. There is no need to limit the capabilities of software instruments. Please implement randomization on all instruments to increase their capabilities. ,Thanks!

Amazingly flexible reverb

After playing with this, I ended up getting a Blackhole pedal for my bass. You can use it for very normal reverbs, very weird reverbs, forward or reversed delays, or even as an industrial drum filter (set predelay to 0 and mix to 100, as with any additive effect you want to use as a filter instead).

Riverbero spaziale

Veramente notevole. Riesce a creare mondi eterei; ho comperato tutto il pacchetto ed aspetto nuove versioni arricchite

Get it!

Get it on Sale, in a bundle or full price. Just get it. My go-to for deep, lush sustain. Best on single solo instruments. Don’t recommend for a bus mix unless you’re really trying to gooo oooout theeeeeeere.

Ottimo suono, ma instabile

Come da aspettative l’app suona molto bene. Purtroppo dopo qualche minuto di utilizzo si impalla producendo un suono acuto. La cosa chiaramente la rende inutilizzabile. Peccato!

Not loading in Cubasis now

Love this app, but it won’t load in Cubasis now without deleting and reloading. This is the case in insert and send positions. Thx

Response from developer

Hi, sorry to hear about the issue. If you send an email to support@eventide.com with you iOS version, version of Cubasis, and a session which shows the issue, we can assist you further.

Bug fix needed

Usually works very well, but is having this error with GB not recognizing it, says I don’t have it install. Please fix and I’ll change to 5 stars :D

A letdown

wanted some good rooms and plates but all these presets sound the same. Big meh

Response from developer

Hi, Blackhole is not intended to be a realistic reverb, but rather to create spaces (large and small) that could never exist in reality. The app description says as such, sorry it was not what you were looking for.

Gimmicky sounds....

I thought for sure I could get like the very best Plate reverb or any kind of beautiful rooms and halls....nope....everything sound has attached to it some kind of fart or thronk or burp....regret buying.

Sublime.

This has to be at or very near the top of the list of greatest virtual reverbs ever created. It can add an otherworldly harmonic “breathing” to whatever you run through it, but if applied intelligently, always sounds musical. Never too saccharine like a number of algorithmic reverbs can be when set to stun.

This is the best one

This is the best one to get all the others ones just sound all the same sort of thing as this.

소리는 정말 좋아요 하지만 오류가 심해요

소리나 기능적인 측면에서 불만은 없습니다. 하지만 3분 ~ 15분정도 치면 앱이 멈추면서 발진이 일어납니다 기기는 ipad 7세대 입니다.

Crashes every time

I am very disappointed with this app. The sound is great but it crashes EVERY time I use it. I have an ipad pro second gen which works perfectly with any other music app (xynthesizr, patterning, borderlands etc.) and any other effect. When I use the Eventide Blackhole it only takes a few minutes and than it crahses. Loud buzzing noise that only stops when I close the Eventide Blackhole. And no I am not running dozens of apps at the same time. I use borderlands and Patterning2 over AUM with the Blackhole as an effect for borderlands. The updates didn‘t change anything about the problem.
I spent over 20 Euros for this effect, what a rip off!

Response from developer

Hi, sorry to hear about the issue. Please email support@eventide.com and we will look into the issue. As a note, if you are using IAA - there is a known bug with some IAA apps on iOS 13, where apps will begin buzzing after a period of time. This is a known issue on Apple's end which we have been in contact with them about - it also affects apps other than ours, and was introduced in iOS 13. If you're using IAA, we recommend using AUv3, which doesn't have this issue.

Doesn’t work with iOS 13.3.1

It could be a great reverb, but has some serious glitches on iPad 7 with iOS 13.3.1. It can’t be used like this: after a few minutes of usage it starts producing a loud and annoying glitching sound. Please fix this bug. Don’t let it be a waste of money!

Lovely verb but crashes...

IPad 6th gen and whenever I use it as a plug in, say in ToneStack or AUM, inevitably it will crash at a largely random point. I use my iPad for live and sadly this isn’t stable enough for live use which is a massive shame and a massive blow considering purchase price

Kill dry?

Where is kill button?

I love this app

I like this app I like it a lot! 5 stars

Bloody Marvelous !!

This is a must have Reverb for anyone who likes to play with vocals especially, but awesome with any sound you put through it. I was umming and arring as to whether I should spend any more money on an app, as I’ve been sadly under whelmed by several before, but this time I haven’t been disappointed.
Thanks Eventide, I’ve had a hankering for an Eventide effects pedal for some years but have never been able to afford one. This has satisfied my yearning and I think I shall purchase them all as and when I can get the rubs together 🙂
Thank you for making your highly sought after effects affordable to the likes of myself. much appreciated.
