“Look out! Be on your guard, because alone of all the arts, music moves all around you.” – Jean Cocteau
Cocteau Verb is a multi-stage stereo effects processor built around a single idea: the lush, textured sound of late-80s and early-90s dream pop and shoegaze. It combines a stereo widener, BBD chorus, ping-pong delay, and three reverb algorithms — Verbity2, Bloom, and Dattorro — in a single plugin.
Three reverb algorithms:
- Verbity2 — Chris Johnson’s Airwindows algorithm (MIT License)
- Bloom — Alesis MidiVerb II emulation, adapted from Airwindows MV2 by Chris Johnson (MIT License)
- Dattorro — plate-style reverb based on the classic Dattorro topology
Includes a preset browser with four factory starting points. 30-day free trial — no credit card required.
