What it does

REmatrix is Overloud's multi-layer convolution reverb, developed with sound designer MoReVoX. It runs five convolvers in parallel, so several impulse responses can be blended into one reverb without the phase problems of stacking separate reverb plugins.

KVR lists version 1.2.12. Overloud sells REmatrix with the Factory Library, with other options and expansion libraries also available. A trial is available.

When to use it

REmatrix is the pick when a single impulse response isn't enough: it layers up to five sampled rooms, plates and hardware units into one reverb, with saturation and compression on top. Compared with VintageVerb or Pro-R 2, it takes longer to dial in and relies on sampled sources rather than an algorithm, but it gives a denser and more coloured sound. Unlike Seventh Heaven Professional, which reproduces one classic hardware unit closely, REmatrix is built for blending and for bold, characterful reverbs. Sound On Sound found it less suited to subtle ambience, and it has no global pre-delay; each layer's delay is set separately.

What producers say

Reviewers like its bold, warm character and easy interface, but see it as a specialist reverb rather than an all-rounder.
