The name · Nordic roots
Nordlys.
Light across the dark.
Nordlys is the Danish word for the northern lights. The name reflects the way this reverb lets sound bloom into shifting bands of colour: dark, luminous and unmistakably Nordic, with a neon glow that nods to the digital rack effects of the 1980s.
Native and DSP for Mac + Windows
Free Native.
Efficient DSP.
Use the complete Native edition free in AAX Native and VST3 on Mac and Windows, plus Audio Unit on Mac. The paid AAX DSP edition moves the reverb onto compatible Avid HDX hardware.
