ConclusionĬomet is a fairly unique product - yes, it’s a great sounding and well-designed reverb processor. It’s an unusual effect, but one that you’d struggle to achieve using regular tools. One interesting technique demonstrated by the developers on the product website is taking advantage of the detune section to make reverbs tune up and down as a track plays. Parameters can be locked for consistency, with tiny lock icons letting you keep individual sections consistent between presets. In any regular plugin, switching presets causes a jarring change, often even a gap in the sound. The idea really is to automate this, and in doing so, precisely control the sound. With glide time governed by the Glide control, clicking a new slot will cause the reverb to change smoothly from one type to another. Click on the comet area at the top however, and morphing gets activated. In regular mode, clicking a slot (you can swap any presets in or out) causes that reverb to become active. But the clever stuff happens when you start using the morphing slots.
You can imagine them on electronic music and perhaps, used more sparingly, on orchestral tracks as well. In not trying to copy any physical space, the developers have made algorithms that sound like nothing else - they are lush, verdant and unique. The reverbs are huge and undeniably gorgeous - vast, splashy waves of air and space can be dialled in with a few mouse movements. The design is slick and easy to understand, with the preset browser particularly accessible, using tags for easy searching. In the centre are large Size and Decay knobs as well as a dry/wet section, and of course a bunch of presets. The core feature set is recognisable - in and out levels, pre-delay, diffuse and detune sliders, controls for hi and lo damping, and colour. In another product, this might sound a slightly fanciful description, but reverbs really do aspire to this kind of thing, so it’s a fair claim. Instead, it says it is designed to “create beautiful trails of sound”. There are lots of very fine impulse response-based reverb processors on the market, so we arguably didn’t need another one anyway. But can it do the business?Ĭomet sets out its stall right away by pointing out that it is not trying to emulate any particular physical space. It aims to go beyond the reverbs you already own, with special features including five preset morphing slots, glide control and a detune algorithm.
