A free True Stereo Convolution Reverb by The Sound of Merlin and White Elephant Audio

10/25/20241 min read

After years of research and experimentation, we are now proud to release our first true stereo reverb VST. Body & Soul Intro sounds amazingly good on any sound source. Body & Soul easily beats the competition when it comes to acoustic instruments but also with synthesisers and ambient music, it certainly deserves a special place in the already large range out there.

Body & Soul is not only a free plugin, it's open source as well and originally based on code by HiFi-LoFi. We took it a step further though. The future larger version of Body & Soul will require payment, as we have spent years developing our impulse responses. However, the plugin itself will forever remain free and open source.

Body stands for early reflections and small spaces and Soul is about reverb tails, large spaces and the infinite universe.

This free plugin is only available as a VST 3 plugin both for Windows and Mac. We are working on a friendly priced large version that will be released a little later this year. This free B&S:Intro contains 23 impulse responses but its big brother will be about ten times larger and will also get many presets.

For now it's not only about getting to know Body & Soul as during our beta testing period we found out that some users replaced their favorite reverbs for this free True Stereo Reverb. That was an amzing experience and of course we hope it will have the same effect on you as well.

A manual and tutorial video are in the works. If you subscribe to our newsletter we will keep you updated on how things are going. At the download you will find a detailed instruction on how to install the plugin. It's slightly different from what you're used to but in the end it's dead simple if you do exactly what it says.
