EraVerb

Vintage Digital Reverb Rack

Welcome to EraVerb support.

EraVerb is a multi-engine digital reverb for Mac, iPhone and iPad that revives six eras of classic studio hardware — from the lush halls of 1978 to the crystalline digital shimmer of 1999. It works as an AUv3 Audio Unit effect inside any host (GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, etc.) and as a standalone app, and the rack-style panel changes its face with every machine you select.


Features

Six Machines, Six Eras

HALL '78, HALL '86, PLATE, NONLIN (gated / reverse), LO-FI '86 (12-bit / 24 kHz) and HALL '99 — each an homage to the sound and the look of its era, down to the panel color, display style and metering.

Era-Authentic Presets

48 factory presets, organized by machine and ready to play.

Hands-On Rack Panel

Eight common controls (Mix, Decay, Pre-Delay, Size, Damp, Low Cut, Mod, Width) plus machine-specific parameters, laid out like the hardware.

AUv3 Plugin

Full parameter automation and state save/restore in any AUv3-compatible host.

Standalone App with Live Input

A built-in test tone lets you audition the reverb immediately, or switch to Live Input to run a microphone or audio interface through the rack.

Soft-Tail Bypass

Like the original hardware, the reverb tail decays naturally when bypassed instead of cutting off abruptly.


System Requirements

  • macOS 13+ or iOS / iPadOS 16+
  • An AUv3-compatible host (GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, etc.), or use the included standalone app
  • Universal purchase — buy once, use on both platforms

FAQ

How do I use EraVerb in GarageBand or Logic Pro?

Add an audio effect to a track and choose Audio Unit Extensions > Hakaru: EraVerb. The same works in AUM, Cubasis and other AUv3 hosts.

How do I hear the reverb in the standalone app?

Just launch the app — a built-in test tone plays through the reverb. Turn the knobs or press the machine buttons (78 / 86 / PL / NL / LF / 99) to change the sound.

How does Live Input work?

Switch the input control from Test Tone to Live Input to process your microphone or audio interface in real time. iOS asks for microphone permission at that moment. We strongly recommend headphones — running a microphone into a reverb through speakers can cause feedback.

The reverb keeps ringing after I press the power button. Is that a bug?

No — that's the soft-tail bypass. The tail decays naturally when bypassed, just like the classic hardware.

Does EraVerb collect any data?

No. EraVerb does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. See the Privacy Policy for details.
