Scintillate’s spectral display and its Reverb and Sparkle controls

A spectral portal
into new worlds.

Scintillate creates sparkles within the spectrum of a conventional reverb. Cast shimmering textures onto your track, build dense clouds or create trippy reverse effects. Plenty of new sounds to play with, and get enchanted.

Give your Sparkles
some space.

Shape the tone, texture, and decay of your spectral reverb. Add a gentle glow to your sound or let it bloom into something that fills the room. The space you create is where your sparkles emerge.

Unleash Fairy Dust.
Or Fever Dreams.

Control how fast sparkles appear, how long they linger, and how many make it through. Make them follow the beat or respond to MIDI Input. Build anything from fluttering walls of sound to intricate rhythmic patterns.
