Soundtoys SpaceBlender – Imaginary Space Machine Reverb Plugin (ELECTRONIC LICENCE DOWNLOAD)

OVERVIEW

Soundtoys SpaceBlender is a bold re-imagining of what reverb can be. Built to craft unreal, imaginary, and otherworldly spaces, it draws inspiration from ambient tape loops, layered delays, and the grainy magic of retro-futuristic digital reverbs. With controls for shaping time, texture, colour, modulation, and nonlinear envelopes, SpaceBlender turns even the simplest sounds into massive cinematic swells, lush ambient clouds, or evolving spectral washes.

Its powerful algorithmic engine lets you sculpt spaces ranging from tight 100ms bursts to sprawling 60-second meditations, with the ability to make reverbs grow brighter (or darker) over time. Freeze mode creates endlessly evolving loops, while the interactive Visualizer and X/Y control make real-time shaping intuitive and expressive. Whether you’re crafting atmospheric pads, surreal sound design, or adding unique depth to everyday tracks, SpaceBlender opens the door to entirely new dimensions of space and texture.

Note: Delivered as an ELECTRONIC LICENCE DOWNLOAD – no physical product.

Known Issues and Notes

• In Digital Performer 11, discrete parameters behave incorrectly for VST3. Soundtoys recommend using VST2 or AU in Digital Performer 11 until the issue can be resolved.
• Some hosts will automatically replace VST2 plug-ins in sessions with matching VST3 versions, depending on the DAW and your DAW preferences. The Soundtoys VST3 versions are fully interchangeable with their VST2 counterparts, but not all hosts implement this feature of VST3.

Note about DAW / Computer Support

Sountoys cannot guarantee support if you are using a supported host platform listed above on an operating system or computer that is not supported by the host platform itself. Please visit your DAW’s website or manual to ensure you are using a compatible system.

If your DAW is not on the list above or if your supported DAW version is older than what’s listed, it doesn’t necessarily mean that our plug-ins won’t work. It just means that it has not been tested. If something goes wrong with an unsupported DAW, you are welcome to write to support, but Soundtoys cannot guarantee a solution. They currently recommend using their free trial with your host to confirm compatibility on your computer.

32-Bit Plug-in Support

With the release of 5.3.2, Soundtoys have officially discontinued support for 32-bit plug-ins. With macOS Catalina requiring all applications to be 64-bit, and with the vast majority of our PC customers using 64-bit plug-ins, they decided it was the right time to end 32-bit support. Their most recent 32-bit installers are available to download below.
