Breeze

Breeze is Aether's pristine eco-conscious cousin. Breeze focuses on simplicity, efficiency, and economy. Additionally it offers several of its own exciting new features that have not been offered previously and make it fufill a special need in the market.

Breeze offers an innovative, minimalist GUI design that focuses on instantly communicating the most important preset information to the user, and summarizing this information graphically in two aesthetically pleasing and intuitive graphical displays. Macro controls combine many complex, behind-the-scenes DSP parameters into a beautifully compact set of nine knobs and four sliders. Parameter ranges and scaling are optimized to make it almost impossible to create a bad sounding preset. Signal gain has been meticulously balanced to the point of making the need to adjust the gain control almost obsolete, leaving users with one less thing to worry about and free to focus on more important details.
With the above in mind, we of course did not sacrifice audio quality either. Breeze shares some things in common with its older cousin, Aether, but it also has many differences, and brings a few exciting new things to the table that we have been researching lately and have yet to be implemented in Aether including:
- A new advanced true-stereo mode that differs from anything in Aether.
- A new bi-polar Density control that provides the ultimate flexibility ranging from absolute sparsity to almost instantaneous maximal density.
- A Density/Diffusion mode switch: This has an effect on both Density, and the speed of Diffusion and it functions as an extremely low-CPU-usage mode, which still sounds fantastic.
- A Contour control to allow users to customize the attack characteristics and timbral variations of the reverb.
- The new Conservation of Energy scheme designed to give the same average level regardless of parameter settings. All knobs can be set to any conceivable setting combinations, and the resulting level is still perfectly matched to the input signal. This makes adjusting the Gain setting almost completely obsolete.
- An evolved modulation scheme that offers both lush, larger-than-life, chorus-like, random pitch modulation as well as newly-developed more conservative methods, that are more in line with the behavior of real-world acoustic spaces
- The new Time Display is a great visualization tool that shows a representation of the time behavior of the current settings. It shows the first few delays and the general decay time as well as other things. It is very intuitive and helpful when customizing presets.
