SILENCER™️ is a first-of-its-kind plugin that both cleans-up and supercharges the reverb plugins you already own.

It features TIMEGATE, a Patent Pending process that completely terminates the reverb signal on each note, eliminating the reverb “wash” that contains multiple notes and ruins the impact of vocals, drums, chords, and melodic instruments.

We’ve also developed several new FX that both enhance and clean up your reverb even more.

Optionally, add your own VSTs to design your own signature reverb sounds, and then save the entire chain as a preset. Silencer can act as a Reverb Manager to organize your favorite reverb sounds.

Timegate

The Timegate module hosts your favorite VST reverbs and re-triggers them for each audio transient or MIDI note, whether you’re using a medium plate, or an epic 10-second shimmer verb.

You can also trigger reverbs via the audio transients of a sidechain signal, or manually perform/automate it via the TRIGGER button.

• Drums that Dominate. Silencer sounds epic on the drum bus. Make your drums sound larger-than-life by adding space around them without muddying up your transients.
• Vocal & Synths Gain Clarity. Melodies are no longer unclear from the reverb of previous pitches.
• Instant vintage sampling vibes. Sampling inherits the reverb from the record. By adding reverb that restarts on each note, it sounds like you chopped your own beats, one-shots, etc. from a record.
• Bass reverb now possible. Silencer allows your to use reverb on low frequencies, because retriggering eliminates phase issues.

We also encourage you to use Silencer to design dirty, cinematic or otherworldly reverbs, and use retriggering to turn it into a polished-but-surreal mix.

The FX Modules

Retriggering your reverb is optional — there’s plenty more to do.

Strip

• Weight & Air: Maximum Sound. Add massive Weight and beautiful Air using a legendary BBE Sonic Maximizer algorithm that makes your reverbs sound epic. You’ll have a hard time believing the before-and-after.
• Not your normal Gate: Silencer’s Gate uses the dry signal for detection, giving your reverb an extremely punchy sound. This new effect sounds especially great on drums.
• Wet Dry Spread: Spread pans the dry and wet signal in opposite directions, creating a magical 3D effect used on radio hits to carve out room in the center of your mix while adding dimension.

Focus EQ

Focus EQ allows you to enhance the critical frequencies of the instrument, by cutting the reverb and optionally boosting the dry signal at the same important frequency.

Sidechain

For good measure, we included a ducker. Sidechain will compress the reverb based on the dry signal. The Release knob actually changes more than the release, and is tuned to give you a wide range of rhythm and groove.

Your favorite reverb setups. All in one place.

Silencer makes for a great Reverb Manager as well. Save all your favorite reverb chains in one place, regardless of plugins used, and quickly audition them.

For easy sound design experimentation, you can enable Reverb Lock so that your Reverb plugin doesn’t change as you audition presets — only the FX Modules swap in.
