Soundtoys Drops SpaceBlender – A Free Reverb Plugin That’s Anything But Ordinary
May 2025 – Known for pushing creative boundaries, Soundtoys has just released its newest plugin: SpaceBlender—an imaginative and experimental reverb tool that’s currently free until May 22, after which it will retail for $99.
Described as an “imaginary space machine,” SpaceBlender blends elements of vintage digital reverbs with modern innovation, offering a distinctly non-traditional take on reverb design. It doesn’t rely on convolution or standard delay networks. Instead, it uses a custom algorithm inspired by swarm synthesis, making it ideal for those looking to explore ambient soundscapes, lo-fi tape textures, or unconventional modulation.
Despite its complex sound engine, the interface remains clean and highly visual. A real-time visualizer lets users manipulate reverb shape and intensity via simple click-and-drag gestures, while controls like Color, Texture, and Warp provide deeper customization. There’s even a Freeze button for looping tails and creating endless atmospheres.
If you’re a sound designer, ambient producer, or just someone hungry for a unique spatial effect — grab this plugin now while it’s still free.
