What it does

XenoVerb is Audiority's "Creative Multi Algorithm Reverb": one plugin that holds classic rooms, halls and plates next to more experimental spaces, behind a clean, simple interface. It was first released in 2017 and was refreshed in 2025.

Classic algorithms: Room, Room B, Hall, Large Hall, Plate 1, Plate 2, Plate XL and Springy. Large Hall and Plate XL were added in version 1.6.
Creative algorithms: Glass (a dense feedback delay network), Flow (soft, dreamy tails), Shimmer (two pitch shifters in the feedback loop), plus Bode and Formant for sound design and vocal effects.
Core controls: pre-delay, diffusion and modulation, with tone shaping on the modulation, alongside a set of basic controls for each algorithm.
Freeze and loop: hold the reverb tail indefinitely, with a selectable Freeze mode since version 1.6.
Safety and switching: a built-in limiter to catch runaway tails and a Kill Switch (new in 1.6) to cut the reverb.
Presets and locking: a new preset browser with over 250 presets, plus parameter locking so chosen settings stay put while you browse.
MIDI: MIDI input for controlling the plugin from a keyboard or controller.

Version 1.6 (October 2025) updated the framework and the interface and added the new algorithms, Freeze mode, Kill Switch and a preset browser. A demo is available that outputs 3 seconds of silence every minute.

When to use it

XenoVerb is a good pick when you want both everyday reverbs and odd creative ones in a single, cheap plugin. Compared with Valhalla Supermassive or Eventide Blackhole, it is less focused on endless ambient washes but covers more ground, from rooms and plates to spring, formant and Bode effects. It is not as detailed or visual as FabFilter Pro-R 2, which offers realistic, finely editable spaces with EQ and decay displays. Against VintageVerb it is less about one era's character and more about range, and it adds freeze, a limiter and MIDI control.

Best for: shimmer and frozen pads, creative vocal and guitar reverbs, and quick rooms and plates on drums and vocals.
Genres: ambient, cinematic, electronic, pop and post-rock.
Look elsewhere if: you want highly realistic spaces (Pro-R 2 or Cinematic Rooms), or a faithful vintage hardware recreation (LX480 or Seventh Heaven).
Tip: Bedroom Producers Blog found Plate 2 denser than Plate 1 and the better choice for vocals and drums.

What producers say

The main published review is very positive, praising the range of algorithms and the light CPU load.

Bedroom Producers Blog (Bryan Lake, 2017) scored it 87% and called it "quite possibly the most versatile reverb processor" he had used, suggesting it can beat hardware costing seven times as much.
Algorithms: the same review singled out the dense Room, the smooth Hall, Flow's "dreamy, pillow-soft tail" for pads, and a Springy mode that avoids the usual weak digital spring sound.
Performance: it praised low CPU use that allows many instances, and fast, intuitive dial-in.
