Gaussian Blur - AUv3 Reverb
Granular bloom reverb effect
About
This app creates unique reverb effects by splitting audio into overlapping grains and processing them through a plate-style reverb. It offers granular control over bloom, grain size, and decay for ambient textures, swells, and sound design.

FAQ
What is Gaussian Blur?
Gaussian Blur is an Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin that creates a unique bloom reverb effect. It works by splitting incoming audio into overlapping grains and processing them through a plate-style reverb tail, allowing for extensive sound shaping.
What kind of reverb does Gaussian Blur create?
Gaussian Blur specializes in 'bloom' reverb, which can create slow swells or smear sounds into ambient pads. It offers granular control over how the reverb builds and decays, unlike traditional reverb plugins.
Can I sync Gaussian Blur to my project's tempo?
Yes, Gaussian Blur offers tempo sync for its grains, including dotted and triplet divisions. This allows you to precisely align the reverb's timing with your music.
What are the grain controls in Gaussian Blur?
You can adjust Grain Size from 20 ms to 1 second, blend forward and reversed grains for reverse effects, add shimmer by shifting grains up octaves or fifths, and control the brightness of grains before they reach the reverb tail.
How long can the reverb decay in Gaussian Blur?
Gaussian Blur allows for a decay time of up to 40 seconds. This enables even short sounds to sustain and carry through an entire musical passage, creating rich, evolving textures.
What devices and iOS versions does Gaussian Blur support?
Gaussian Blur is compatible with iPhone and iPad devices and requires iOS 18.6 or later. It also needs an AUv3-compatible host app to function.
How much does Gaussian Blur cost?
Gaussian Blur is a paid application priced at $3.99. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions associated with this app.
Does Gaussian Blur have ads?
No, Gaussian Blur is completely ad-free. As a paid application, it provides an uninterrupted user experience without any advertisements.
