Eventide has just released Temperance Lite, a reverb plugin with a twist: it treats reverb not just as space, but as a musical instrument. Unlike traditional convolution or algorithmic reverbs, Temperance Lite lets you shape resonances using the 12-note chromatic scale – you decide which notes bloom or fade inside the reverb tail
Under the hood is modal reverb technology: the plugin models a space as thousands of independent resonators, each controllable in real time. Bedroom Producers Blog +3 Eventide Audio +3 Gearnews.com +3 The heart of the plugin is the Temper knob – at neutral it acts like a conventional reverb, but dial it clockwise to emphasize selected notes or counterclockwise to suppress them.
Other features include three selectable “spaces” (Bright Room, Large Studio, Synthetic Space), a NoteScape Visualizer for viewing active resonances, plus standard controls for mix, decay, size, and pre-delay.
Release offer: Temperance Lite is available as a free download through December 31, 2025. After that, you’ll need to register the license by March 31, 2026. Gearnews.com +3 Eventide Audio +3 Bedroom Producers Blog +3 It supports 64-bit VST3, AU, and AAX formats on macOS 10.14+ and Windows 10+, with a minimum SSE 4.2 CPU on Windows.
This feels like a bold move from Eventide – giving producers direct tonal control over reverb’s inner harmonics. Worth grabbing while it’s free!
