Effect: QuikQuak - Fusion Field 2.5

Fusion field
QuikQuak launches Fusion Field 2.5, a diffusion reverb effect for both Windows and Mac. This is one reverb I really want to try.

Features:
* A stereo reverb, with an even decay.
* Clear reflected sound, with a fast diffusion build up.
* Linked Decay, Spread and Distance dials.
* Cloud display representation for all time and frequency aspects.
  This replaces the usually separate envelope and EQ displays with
  one concise image, displaying frequency energy over time.
* Fast editing, for that quick grab effect.
* Zero latency.

Changes:
Greatly increased diffusion when using short Spread values.
A smoother, more realistic attack phase for the Distance parameter.
An Echo control for additional effects, creating a delayed wave of reverb – useful for large ethereal spaces, or tight metallic boxes.
New GUI design, with an optimized animated display.
All aspects of the filtering, Decay, Spread and Distance parameters are now shown on the main display. Using a cloud representation of time and frequency energy, to give an instant visual interpretation. You’ll know what it sounds like directly from this impression.
Total of 48 modulators now include randomized LFOs for extra decorrelation.
Algorithm optimizations to allow for these additional features, keeping CPU resources as low as possible.
Re-balanced to fix the channel bias problem.
A new set of presets.
Price: 50 £

"Fusion Field is a smooth diffusion reverb that sits beautifully in a mix." QuikQuak
