23DSP releases Orbitail – Space-Themed Reverb (VST3/AU)

Independent developer Marco Allegretti (23DSP) has released Orbitail, a new creative reverb plugin designed around astrophysical concepts. Orbitail combines established algorithmic reverb structures with modulation, shimmer processing, and stereo field control to provide a tool that moves between traditional ambience and more experimental sonic spaces. Five Reverb Modes At the core of Orbitail are five distinct algorithms: Black Hole – long, dense tails with a sense of gravitational pull. Supernova – bright, explosive reflections with evolving modulation. Mars – a more controlled space with drier diffusion characteristics. Asteroid Belt – multi-layered, scattered reflections for irregular patterns. Nebula – smooth, expansive textures with soft modulation. Each mode adjusts parameters such as size, density, tone, and chaotic behavior to create a distinct spatial identity. Modulation and Shimmer Orbitail introduces orbit-based modulation, adding movement across the stereo field for reverb tails that evolve over time. A dedicated shimmer section extends the spectrum with octave-up content, paired with adjustable brightness filtering to control the harmonic lift. Workflow and Controls The plugin provides input/output gain staging, dry/wet balance, and diffusion control, making it adaptable to different workflows. It can be used in subtle ways to add depth to a mix, or more radically to build evolving textures and cinematic ambiences. Applications Orbitail is aimed at a wide range of audio work: Mixing – adding dimension to vocals, drums, or instruments. Sound Design – creating expansive atmospheres and experimental reverbs. Post-Production – shaping immersive and cinematic environments. Pricing & Availability Beta version 0.5 of Orbitail is available now through Gumroad for $10 for macOS and Windows in VST3 and AU plugin formats. Read More
