The “Sanctuary” algorithm within BOREALIS LE, inspired by ancient acoustical architecture, is crafted to deliver a deep, realistic, and immersive reverb effect.

Envision your sound journeying through two chambers deep inside a stone pyramid—one medium-sized and one large—connected by tunnels. The ‘Size’ control shapes how much sound fills each chamber, creating smooth transitions, while the 'Mod Rate' lets you dynamically shift the acoustics within each Sanctuary chamber.

Unique Acoustic Spaces: Each stone-carved Sanctuary chamber has a distinct resonant character—one intimate, the other grand and expansive.

Natural Sound Interaction: The envelope follower allows the reverb to react naturally to your music, with precise control over sound shifts via the Mod Rate parameter, adding subtle depth and randomness.

Smooth Transitions: The ‘Size’ control lets you seamlessly blend between the chambers, creating fluid reverb tails that respond beautifully to your sound.

Real-Time Modulation: Easily tweak reverb parameters in real-time for endless creative possibilities, including extreme non-linear or reactive modulation.

Efficient Performance: Despite its complex processing, BOREALIS LE is optimized for efficient performance on your computer.

Film Scoring: Create dynamic spaces that move with the on-screen action, enhancing the engagement of your scenes.

Live Performances: Add responsive reverb that subtly reacts to every nuance. (Tip: Adjust the envelope follower input and connect it with ‘Space’ and ‘Mod Rate’ parameters.)

Sound Healing Journeys: Craft meditative soundscapes that gently shift and transform, perfect for relaxation or focus.

Dynamically morphing rooms

BOREALIS’s modulation capabilities are extensive, featuring three modulators and an envelope follower. The modulators, including Sine, Triangle, Square, Random, Stepped and custom-drawn shapes, allow you to create intricate movement. The envelope follower derives control signals from your input, allowing for responsive performances with adjustable attack, release, gain, and threshold settings. Like a living, breathing organism, BOREALIS empowers you to go deeper, allowing you to modulate modulators with each other and with the envelope follower, creating a network of performable sound.

Mastering-Grade Limiter and EQ

As the cherry on top, BOREALIS also includes a powerful mastering section with a parametric equalizer and dual-mode modern and vintage-flavoured limiter. The Modern limiter offers transparent IIR look-ahead limiting, while the Vintage limiter emulates the classic 1176 Peak Limiter. This section lets you shape and ‘glue’ both dry and wet signals, perfecting your overall sound. With BOREALIS, we created a playground to inspire and enhance your creative process and transform your approach to reverb design with its expansive sound, advanced modulators, and inspiring control interface.
