VOID

A plug-and-play, minimal algorithmic reverb VST3 plugin built with JUCE.

Features

• 3 Preset Modes — Space (lush hall), Room (tight, percussive), Infinite (ambient wash)
• 4 Controls — Dry/Wet, Size, Color (EQ tilt), Clarity (sidechain ducker)
• Sidechain Ducker — The Clarity knob reduces wet signal when dry transients hit, keeping them upfront
• Built-in EQ — High-pass and low-pass filters shape the reverb tail
• Pre-delay — Per-preset pre-delay for separation and depth
• Dark UI — Flat charcoal aesthetic with warm gold/amber accents

Install (Windows)

1. Download Void-v1.1-Windows.zip from the Releases page
2. Extract the Void.vst3 folder to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
3. Rescan plugins in your DAW

Build from Source

Requires CMake 3.22+, a C++17 compiler, and a local copy of JUCE 8. Update the JUCE path in CMakeLists.txt to match your system.

# Windows (Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt)
cmake -B build -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build

The VST3 plugin will be in build/Void_artefacts/Release/VST3/. A standalone executable is also built under build/Void_artefacts/Release/Standalone/.

Controls

Control	Range	Description
Dry / Wet	0-1	Crossfade between dry input and wet reverb
Size	0-1	Scales the preset's room size (0.5x at 0, 1.5x at 1)
Color	0-1	EQ tilt — dark (0) to bright (1)
Clarity	0-1	Sidechain duck depth — 0 = off, 1 = full ducking
