What it does

MReverb is MeldaProduction's algorithmic true-stereo reverb, which promises "extremely realistic halls and unbelievable effects". Instead of separate plate, hall and room algorithms, it uses one engine with a large set of parameters, plus a positioning system that places the source in the virtual room.

Spatial positioning: drag the sound source around the room, and the plugin sets the parameters to match that room and position.
Equalizer: a 3-band EQ for the reverb, with 7 filter types per band and harmonic control.
Gate: an integrated gate for shaping or cutting off the tail.
Saturation: a tube saturation stage for vintage analog colour.
Modulation: four modulators that work as LFO, level follower, MIDI or audio-triggered ADSR, randomizer or pitch detector, and can control any parameter, including other modulators.
Randomizer: three randomization modes, including a smart mode that learns from existing presets, for sound design.
Workflow: Easy and Edit screens, automatic gain compensation, a safety limiter, multiparameters and a resizable, GPU-accelerated interface.

A free trial is available. It has 64-bit processing at any sample rate, and MeldaProduction promises free updates for life. A multiband version, MReverbMB, and the larger MTurboReverb are listed separately.

When to use it

MReverb is the pick for users who want to build a space from parameters and place a source inside it, rather than choose from a menu of reverb types. Compared with Valhalla VintageVerb, it has no set of named modes or era colours, and it costs slightly less. Compared with FabFilter Pro-R 2, it offers deeper modulation, a gate and a randomizer, which suit sound design as much as mixing. Valhalla Room is the closer like-for-like if you just want natural rooms with fewer controls to think about.

Best for: affordable halls and rooms, placing instruments in a virtual space, and modulated or gated reverb effects.
Genres: any; the spatial positioning is useful for orchestral and film work.
Look elsewhere if: you want a large set of classic algorithms; MTurboReverb or VintageVerb offer more character, and Pro-R 2 is quicker to set up.

What producers say

There is little user feedback online; what exists calls it an underrated reverb.

VI-Control thread (2019) the original poster said it "sounds amazing" and showed its spatial positioning on orchestral strings.
KVR users have not posted any user reviews yet.
