Seance — Vintage Reverb
Vintage algorithmic reverb. Eight rooms, three eras of digital character, and a ducker that steps aside while the vocal speaks. Rooms that answer back.
Keyless. Install it on every computer you own, and it stays yours. Instant download, all sales final.
Under the hood
How SEANCE builds a room
Eight rooms
Parlor, Chamber, Hall, Cathedral, Plate, Ambience, Gate and Void. Loudness-matched, so switching compares the space, not the volume.
Three eras
SEPIA is dark early-digital with wandering modulation. NEON is the bright, jittery 80s rack. CRYSTAL is clean and modern. Same room, three decades.
The room steps aside
DUCK follows your dry vocal and dips the reverb while it speaks, swelling back in the gaps. The big-space-clear-vocal trick with zero sidechain routing.
Freeze and compare
FREEZE holds the tail endlessly for instant pads. A/B stores two full snapshots one click apart. WIDTH goes from mono-safe to past the speakers.

Questions
Straight answers
How is SEANCE different from other reverbs?
A built-in ducker follows your dry vocal and steps the tail out of its way while it speaks, then swells back in the gaps, so you get a big space and a clear vocal with no sidechain routing. You also get FREEZE for endless pads and a one-click A/B that stores two full snapshots.
Can I keep the vocal clear inside a big reverb?
Yes, that is what DUCK is for. Turn it up and the reverb dips under the vocal automatically and returns between phrases, which keeps a long tail from washing the words out.
What rooms and characters does it have?
Eight rooms, from Parlor and Chamber to Cathedral, Plate and Void, each loudness-matched so switching compares the space and not the volume. Three eras color them; SEPIA is dark early-digital, NEON is the bright 80s rack, CRYSTAL is clean and modern.
Does SEANCE work in FL Studio?
Yes. SEANCE installs as a VST3 on Windows and macOS and as an Audio Unit on macOS, so it loads in FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, Studio One, Cubase, REAPER and any other VST3 or AU host.
How do I install it?
Run the installer and rescan plugins in your DAW. On macOS the version 1.0 installer is not notarized by Apple yet, so approve it once under Privacy and Security, or right-click the installer and choose Open. The bundled notes show the exact steps for your macOS version.
Do I need a license key, an iLok, or an account?
None of them. The plugin is keyless. Download it, install it on every computer you own, and it works. There is nothing to activate and nothing to log into.
