Strymon Cloudburst (Digital product)

Cloudburst produces some of the most gorgeous ambient reverb tones and soundscapes you've ever heard, including a whole range of captivating sounds never previously available from a plugin. But how could a reverb plugin deliver something truly new? The answer is Cloudburst's breakthrough Ensemble engine.

Harmonic Magic

Cloudburst's Ensemble effect works by continuously analyzing 48 different frequency bands in the source audio, and then generating corresponding upper harmonic partials of what it finds in each band. The result is a gorgeous synthesized string ensemble-like expansion of your reverberated signal that creates unique new textures, taking your tracks to a new and unforgettable level. Try Ensemble on any acoustic instrument or vocal for a vast new palette of sounds. Instantly create lush string voices, or use Ensemble subtly to add harmonics and movement to your ambient reverb soundscapes.

Effortless Sound Design

Designed to sound musical at any setting, Cloudburst's elegantly simple and intuitive controls make it easy to find the perfect ear-catching and inspiring sound for your track. Experimenting with the controls is addictively fun, and it may even lead you beyond the sound you had in mind to something you hadn't even imagined.

Instant Ambient Pad

With the press of the Hold button, Cloudburst delivers instant ambient pads from any input. Choose between Infinite, which layers new notes into a continuously sustaining reverb, or Freeze, which locks in the current sound while letting you play unaffected notes over the top.

Lush Modulation

Cloudburst enhances stereo depth and movement through modulation of reverb delay lines. The Mod control adjusts modulation depth up to 12 o'clock, and speed from noon to max, unlocking everything from subtle shimmer to vintage sci-fi pitch warble — especially when paired with Ensemble.

From Small Rooms to Infinite Spaces

The Decay knob intelligently adjusts multiple internal parameters, letting you dial in anything from tight, natural-sounding rooms to massive, ethereal soundscapes. Even small tweaks can dramatically shift the reverb's character.
