Cast

What it does

Cast verb-throws by pressure.

Cast is a Schroeder reverb whose size, damping, and predelay are driven by held MPE notes. Pressure-weighted across voices, the amount knob scales how far the reverb deviates from its base settings as you play.

The trick: note-on blooms the wet send; last note-off snaps the tail with a 5 ms wet ramp and a buffer reset. The iconic UK garage / Fred Again verb-throw gesture, played on the keys instead of automated in a clip view. Drop it on a vocal, a snare, a synth pad - lean in, lift off, cast.

MPE routing

Hold a note. The reverb opens.

Every gesture maps to a property of the reverb tail. Multiple held notes blend into one effective setting, pressure-weighted across voices.

Note-on
Blooms the wet send. The reverb arms as soon as you press a key; no need to ride a fader.
Pressure
Modulates size and predelay. Heavier press = larger room, longer predelay. Pressure-weighted average across all held voices.
Slide / pitch
Modulates damping. Y-axis and bend together set how the tail decays - bright and long, dark and short.
Last note-off
Snaps the tail. A 5 ms wet ramp + buffer reset cuts the reverb cleanly the moment your last finger lifts.

Requirements

What it runs on, today.

Quiver plugins are built for MPE controllers and tested in real workflows before they ship. The supported set is deliberately narrow right now so every shipped plugin works the way the page describes. Wider coverage comes as each host gets a full pass.

macOS

Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Intel Macs and Windows are on the roadmap, not yet supported. VST3 and AU.

Tested in

Ableton Live 12. Bitwig Studio, Reaper, and other MPE-aware VST3 / AU hosts should work but are not yet covered by our test pass.

Logic Pro

Audio effects can't receive MPE in Logic. The host doesn't route per-note expression to effect tracks. We'll lift this note when Apple changes that.

Controllers

Built for Osmose, Push 3, Seaboard, LinnStrument, Continuum. The plugin loads without an MPE controller, but the whole point is the per-finger gesture.

Price

€20. The price is the price.

A single-purpose MPE reverb at a no-decision price. No sales, ever; free major-version updates; 14-day no-questions refund.
