Pro-R 2 brings a raft of new next-gen features to what was already a widely respected reverb plug-in, including
comprehensive multichannel compatibility, two brand-new reverb algorithms, IR import and replication, ducking and
gating functions, analog-style saturation, and much more. It is a huge technological and functional leap forward for
the plug-in, and one made without any compromise to the slick workflow and stellar sound quality that Pro-R users
already know and love.
Full immersive audio support
Place reverbs in three-dimensional space with support for immersive channel layouts up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos. Pro-R
2 configures itself for multichannel formats automatically whenever it is added to a surround channel, and individual
Decay Rate and Post EQ bands can be applied to any combination of channels using the new Speakers panel.
Meanwhile, the new Surround Settings panel provides straightforward controls for balancing the relative levels of
every reverb parameter — Predelay, Character, Decay Rate, etc — between the front and back of the immersive
space. A massive amount of work has gone into the implementation of surround cross feeding, delivering an
exceptionally convincing sense of space; and with its intuitive approach and liberating flexibility, ProR 2 yields
spectacular results without letting complicated channel routing get in the way of creativity.
All-new Vintage and Plate reverb Styles
Expanding on the clean, natural sound of Pro-R, Pro-R 2 introduces two new reverb algorithms that bring a diversity
of retro flavors to mixes. ‘Vintage’ is inspired by classic digital reverb units of the ’80s and ’90s, and is the go-to for
long, bright hyper-real spatial ambiences, while ‘Plate’ serves up the evocative metallic sound of plate reverb — ideal
for drums and vocals. Together, the two new styles broaden Pro-R 2’s spatializing remit out from the realistic physical
environments for which its predecessor was known into more overtly synthetic textural territory.
Impulse response (IR) import
As if tripling the number of reverb styles on offer was not enough, Pro-R 2 also adds the ability to import impulse
responses and have them automatically recreated as algorithmic setups — including Decay Rate and Post EQ
shaping — that closely match their sonic characteristics. Whether wanting to binge on the vast array of free impulse
responses available online, or capture and emulate favorite vocal booth, drum room, or hardware reverb in Pro-R 2,
IR import opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Extended reverb parameters and controls
 
Pro-R 2 provides even more tools with which to design dream reverbs. Set the wet signal level to drop whenever the
dry signal is present with the Ducking control; dial in density and saturation with the Thickness knob; get your Phil
Collins on with the tempo-syncable Auto Gate; and capture and hold the tail indefinitely with a click of the Freeze
button. No matter what anyone’s reverberation goal might be, Pro-R 2 has everything needed to realize it.
Full-featured preset browser
A great improvement on the simple hierarchical menu of Pro-R, Pro-R 2’s streamlined new preset browser makes it
easier than ever to navigate and manage the factory library and user presets. Assign editable tags for filtered
searching, set presets as favorites for one-click filtering, and add author names and text descriptions. And if the
original Pro-R is installed then all its presets appear in Pro-R 2’s library as well.
