Not just Another Emulation

Reviver creates harmonic distortion, whose sound is often connected to vintage gear. It does not emulate analog equipment, but instead gives the user full control of overtone generation and volume. Despite this high level of controllability, Reviver’s user interface is intuitive and provides the desired result after just a few mouse clicks. You can test Reviver by downloading the fully-functional demo version.

Second-Order Harmonics

Second order harmonic overtones play an important role in the sonic coloration that tubes add to audio material. Their sound is often perceived as "warm" and "smooth". Reviver gives you the ability to add second order harmonics to your sound in a precise way.

Third-Order Harmonics

Third order harmonic overtones change the sound in a more aggressive way, often referred to as "punch", "fatness", or "detail". These overtones are also created by tape and overdriven solid state amplifiers. With Reviver you can control the exact amount of third-order harmonics to give your sound that extra "punch".

Serial Mode

In serial mode Reviver first adds second order harmonics to the signal before adding third order harmonics. The result is a different harmonic content and stronger saturation.
