ZAK Sound has released a reverb plug-in that utilizes the sound of water, as the name suggests, 'Deep Waters'.
Deep Waters is a reverb plugin made from water samples, designed to create atmospheric and immersive spaces. This unconventional approach allows to craft unique reverbs that transcend the ordinary.

Technology behind Deep Waters
Deep Waters was created from 77 water recordings, including rivers, beach waves, mountain streams, waterfalls and rain.
By loading these sounds via convolution reverb, ZAK Sound created and programmed the Deep Waters plugin to produce deep and beautiful reverbs.
This results in the creation of unusual reverbs that stand out for their immersive sound and the organic texture of flowing water that is perceptible within some of them.
Reverb customization
Deep Waters provides precise control over your reverb with adjustable parameters such as predelay, highpass, lowpass, and fade-out sliders, all of which apply exclusively to the wet reverb signal.
For enhanced precision, you can graphically set the reverb’s length in the waveform display.
Additionally, the plugin features a built-in delay applied to the wet signal after the reverb, enabling you to create captivating sound repetitions.
83 presets
Deep Waters comes preloaded with a selection of 83 presets categorized into atmospheric reverbs, huge reverbs, medium reverbs, and small reverbs.
The atmospheric presets remove the dry signal, immersing your audio in captivating environments. The huge reverbs deliver grand and beautiful reverberations, while medium presets offer a balanced size. The small reverbs are perfect for standard reverb applications.
To further inspire your creativity, the plugin offers a randomization feature, allowing you to discover unique parameter combinations, as well as the option to save your custom presets.
