Samplity scheduled to release Gemini BM7 on the fall 2022 where they claimed to be The best emulation of the Bricasti BM7 reverb unit with 137 True-stereo presets.







Product Specification

Formats: VST3 (macOS and Windows), AU (macOS), AAX (macOS and Windows)

Latency: zero

Sample rates: the reverb engine works with sample rates up to 48 kHz. With higher host sample rates its input signal is downsampled to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz, processed and upsampled. Other components work at rates up to 192 kHz.

Discussion

1. Will it be a hit or just another plugin with fancy GUI for the IRs they've released for free long ago ?
2. Do we really need another "the best M7 emulation" after the Seventh Heaven that still using IR capture of the unit ?
3. Why don't anyone do something like the Relab 480XL remake, rewrite the code from ground up and get official license from the Bricasti ? Although it's a long shot that Bricasti would approve it since it will affect the sales of the hardware.
4. Do Bricasti really need to stick to the hardware ? I mean, come on, it's a digital reverb, they have the source code and they could simply build the plugin themselves, why would they still want people to pay for the metal case and more electricity ? Not to mention all those unnecessary component inside that's basically another computer.
5. Or reverb plugins are shite and the DSP hardware of the reverb sounds best because of some unexplainable quantum entanglement between reverb particle generated inside that pricy box that is not possible to be done in plugin form.

Other Samplicity News

1. Also will release the Gemini 480 which is an emulation of a Lexicon 480XL.
2. Already released as Pre-order a new reverb plugin called Berlin Studio - a reverb capture of a famous studio in Berlin, not sure which one, but I assume it's the Hansa Studio because they said "where for decades classical albums were recorded" I think Bowie and Depeche Mode records considered as classics.

Interesting. I though Seventh Heaven is already the top.

 

Yes, majority of the audio community agrees with that. Anway, Liquidsonics Reverberate, Slate Digital Verbsuite Classics also use the same Fusion IRs and has Bricasti M7 presets and give or take, sounds the same.

 

Is seventh heaven true stereo?

 

from the website

 

There's not much to discuss until we can actually hear it

 

@Stevie Dude, interesting poll. Do you use A, B, or C? Answer: Yes, No, ...?

 

A and B kinda straight forward answer, C is more like "I know M7 is famous reverb, I've tried/use/owned them, but Valhalla VintageVerb is the best reverb ever" something like that.

 

Sorry, I didn't get the question right. You mean Bricasti either as harware, or plugin or IR. Now I got it.

 

should've used slashes instead of "or". how to edit the poll question ?

 

@Olymoon can you pls edit the poll to "Do you use Bricasti Hardware/IRs/Plugin in your production ?"

the one right now kinda confusing, my bad

 

You can't (no Edit button beneath the question on the right)? I can, done.

 

Welcome back, now that we got to test it, what do you think ?

I think the plugin is shite.

 

Teldex Studio.

You were thinking about a typical recording studio, not one created for recording classical music.
