Ascent

Ascent by Audio Damage is a dual reverb plugin that combines a deep, natural hall reverb with a granular pitch-shifting particle engine. The two reverbs run simultaneously, letting you move from grounded, room-filling depth to shimmering, evolving atmospheres. Bloom controls the amount of shimmer, while the granular engine transposes from -12 to +12 semitones with dual overlapping grains to avoid metallic artifacts. Expanse offers three tuned room modes—Small, Medium, and Large—that shape the delay network and spatial character, not just decay time. A built-in ducking compressor pulls reverb tails back on transients, keeping your dry signal present without fader rides. Ideal for ambient, cinematic, and electronic producers who want subtle space or full washes without a second plugin. Part of the Motion Effects family, it ships as VST3, AU, AAX, and CLAP with no DRM and a perpetual license.
