Critic Reviews

Reveal Sound Spire review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Reveal Sound Spire is a standout debut synth plugin, praised for its powerful waveshaping capabilities and extensive modulation matrix. Musicians will appreciate its flexible oscillators and accessible design, which allow for a vast array of tones beyond typical virtual analogue synths. The synth's dual resonant filters and well-equipped LFOs further enhance its versatility. However, the interface has some quirks, such as difficult menus and incomplete envelope displays, which can be frustrating. Despite these drawbacks, Spire's impressive sound and innovative features make it a worthy investment for producers seeking a dynamic and adaptable tool.

Reveal Sound Spire REVIEW (Complete Bundle) | BPB

bedroomproducersblog.com

Reveal Sound Spire impresses with its robust feature set and intuitive interface, offering a fluid workflow for sound designers. Its standout aspect is the high-quality tone generated by four expertly coded oscillators, which set a new standard for digital synthesis. The synthesizer’s rich sound palette is complemented by flexible modulation options, including envelopes, LFOs, and step sequencers. While the CPU load is a concern, the beta version shows significant improvements in efficiency. Priced reasonably, Spire is a versatile tool that challenges preconceptions about digital audio, making it a must-have for serious producers.

Main sound design

As a EDM Producer, it without a doubt that spire is one of the best known virtual synthesizer out there. Nowadays, Spire sound can be found in most of track as it has become part of my workflow during my production.

And also the plugin does not heavily untitled CPU processor which is a plus side especially if you like layering a lot of sound in a track With the v1.5 updated on the sound selection GUI, it makes everything more organized and easier to find the perfect sound for my track.

Main Stream For Bass and Plucks

I was introduced to Spire awhile ago as it was used by most well known producer like Hardwell, Alan Walker, W&W. After play it awhile, I find that the bass and pluck from the default factory bank quite pleasing and it fit most genre in my production. Even so I have planned to get several expansion sound bank to widen my selection.

In addition to that, the recently V1.5 update introduced a more organized library selection interface, I do think it make it much more easier for my to select my the sound that I wish to find. However, one thing i can complete may be the soundbank scanning procedure which may cause your DAW to crash if you are using a average computer configuration.

Just amazing!

This syhthesizer is sounding unique and full. I chosed it over Serum even tho i was aware that Serum has higher sound design potential the warm and clean sound of Spire made me to go with it. Spire filters are amazing in my opinion and you have several choices in this regard (for example virus ti emulation, TB-303 emulation, comb and others). The effects are not bad and i often use them along with external ones. I like the x-comp section which is a good way to add quick multiband compression on your designed sound. The oscillators give you really a lot of possibilities to shape the sound. Its not possible to inject custom wavetables like in Serum but you can chose from included ones and with possibility to FM and hard FM you can get some really interesting sound design patches. This synthesizer is great for Leads, agressive Basslines and lush pads. I recommend it definitely.

The roots of my production

Good ol Spire. My first plugin that used to be all the influences behind my previous work as a Glitch-Hop / Drum & Bass music producer. The plugin is very versatile in making different and unique sounds that work together and overall not being to CPU intensive when running or rendering out.

The plugin itself is a bit outdated with Spire and Massive being the two stealing most of the limelight nowadays, however i feel that if Reveal Sound were to release a major update for Spire in order to compete with the two mainstage plugins they would have to do something amazing with the features, inputs and display of the plugin.

SOUNDS AMAZING

This is one of my favorite VST Synthesizers. It's super easy to use and understand, and you can get a really great sound really fast. What I love most about this synth is the sound quality. It sounds just as good as hardware synthesizers! No joke.

Sounds fantastic

Great sound, great synth, great people behind it! It has a very crisp yet warm tone to it that is fitting for electronic and includes some great filter types, onboard effects, and presets. Its a bit of a CPU hog though, so be careful when trying to run multiple instances.

Spire is amazing for trance music production, loads of third party soundbanks available and I particularly like how good the bass and lead presets sound.

Reveal Sound Spire Synthesizer Plugin

Spire was the first software synthesizer developed by Reveal Sound. The synthesizer utilizes multipurpose oscillators, filters, and effects units within a digital graphic interface. Spire combines elements from both Analog and software synthesizers. The synthesizer utilizes wavetable synthesis. The software can be run by itself or within a digital audio workstation. The plugin has been used almost exclusively in dance music.

julianveloso: 3. What do you use for your saw pads & pianos? (if kontakt what kontakt)

OfficialPierceFulton: 3. Saw pads are usually either Diva, Sylenth, or Spire and pianos are kontakt but I process them like crazy. One thing I've been doing with my pianos is adding a Maserati GTi from Waves in addition to my compression, eq and FX because it adds this weird almost multiband-compression sounding timbre which is really nice.

September 23, 2014, 04:08:50 PM EDT

My kicks are actually 4-5 layers of samples I've collected, swapping out diff layers depending on the track.

Usually 1 top main clicky sounding kick with no low end, a separate low end kick that's relatively short (and usually pitches down sort of, so I dont worry about it being in key) so I can mix my sub bass around it. Then I sometimes have a tonal kick, like something acoustic so it doesn't sound so digital; that can sometimes be 1 or 2 layers. Might not be the "correct" formula for kicks but it's what works for me, I like having a shorter kick and stronger sub bassline, I've found that adds the most power for my style.

Synths are mainly Spire, Sylenth, Nexus, Diva, Synplant, kv311 synthmaster, Serum (Steve Duda's new one), amongst other strange ones I've picked up over the years.

September 23, 2014, 05:07:26 PM EDT

travvers: How do you make those arps in Kuaga ? They are amazing

OfficialPierceFulton: the lead/arp thing is a Spire arp that i wrote in the sequencer from scratch and then the second arp is Surge by Vember Audio and I just wrote that on midi notes.

September 24, 2014, 12:41:19 AM EDT

ATP6135: Hey man, thanks so much for doing this AMA! You were in Ottawa, Ontario for LIC but unfortunately i missed it :(. My questions is about your latest track Kuaga, its probably got the thickest sound(s) I've ever heard in a track for a long time! How do you go about mixing your synths, more or less those big chords you had playing?

OfficialPierceFulton: the chords are actually only 2 layers, one really thick/centered synth and one wide/detuned synth. Most of the power comes from the bass which is about 4 layers. one of those "less is more" situations, I got the melody really solid before messing with more synth work, usually the best situation.

September 24, 2014, 12:47:10 AM EDT kamikyhacho: What's your favorite VST?

OfficialPierceFulton: i love spire...I owe the Kuaga lead to that but I also love Steve Duda's new one Serum.

September 23, 2014, 04:43:25 PM EDT

kasum: Kauga is so well produced, how many layers to make up those thick thick chords at the drop?

Also any plugins you like that you feel give your sound a more "professional" sound.

OfficialPierceFulton: honestly I use the same plugins as everyone else. sylenth, spire, nexus, diva, etc. its just about the processing and way your melodies work I think. Needs the right balance of simple and complex (as dumb as that sounds) but the chords for kuaga are 2 layers, then 4 layers of bass and 1 layer of lead and another arp. Pretty simple.

November 9, 2015, 05:18:34 PM EDT

TheElectricWarehouse: What's your method for making basslines

OfficialPierceFulton: I usually combine 3 layers of tonal/texture bass with Sylenth, Spire or Nexus and then 1 layer of sub. Tonal bass is usually low cut so the sub takes up all proper low end. I sometimes do some imaging work on a higher freq range of a specific bass element with a lot more lows cut, some people see that as a no-no but I love it. The reason my Surrender remix has such a strong bassline is cuz some of it is widened.

October 17, 2017, 04:04:29 PM EDT

ethanswazemusic: 2. What synth plug ins (or real synths) did you use on better places?

OfficialPierceFulton: 2. I use a looooot of different synth plugins for my music but because this album was mostly recorded material I didn't use as many as usual. I mostly used Omnisphere or NI Kontakt for plugin replications of instruments I couldn't record. That being said, I've been remastering my older music and I'm seeing a lot of Sylenth and Spire so I used to use those ones a lot!

October 17, 2017, 06:37:02 PM EDT

Best plugins: Spire, Omnisphere, and Kontakt stuff. Sample Packs: collect as many weird samples as you can and combine with clean sample. Also Splice has changed the game for samples it's not a shot in the dark buying a whole sample pack anymore.
