Exponential Audio R2 from iZotope is an algorithmic reverb that provides a colorful sound, one suitable for music production and mixing. This reverb traces its lineage back to the classic Lexicon units of earlier ages, and you can hear that heritage in the reverb’s sound.
However, you’ll also note the tweakable interface, with dedicated parameters in Early Reflection, Reverb Attack, and Reverb Tail tabs. To liven up the proceedings even more, there’s a Chorus section to add modulation and a Gate tab for creating classic gated reverb sounds.
Whether you’re looking for halls, chambers, rooms, or plates, R2 has an algorithm for you. Browse through them all by keyword, or click the magnifying glass in the top right of the GUI to dictate the terms of search. Over 1200 presets are provided in total.
This product is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. It operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. An iLok account is required for authorizing the plug-in, though an iLok key is not strictly necessary.
