23Shimmer – Pitch-Morphed Reverb

Looking to add otherworldly sparkle to your sounds? 23Shimmer is a creative shimmer reverb plugin that blends pitch modulation and rich diffusion into a lush atmosphere. Whether you're scoring for film, designing ambient pads, or adding emotional weight to leads and vocals, this tool brings depth and movement that traditional reverbs can't match.

✨ What makes it special?

• Size & Diffusion Controls
  Shape the space – from tight reflections to massive, immersive halls.
• LPF Damping
  Sculpt the tail with a low-pass filter for warmer or darker decay.
• 100% Feedback Capable
  Dial in infinite shimmer trails or self-oscillating madness.
• Pitch Modulation Section
  A flexible envelope lets you draw pitch curves from -12 to +12 semitones. Create rising, falling, or bouncing shimmer effects that sync perfectly with your track.
• Time-Synced Modulation
  Lock the modulation cycle to tempo (from 1/16 to several bars) or run it freely – your call.
• Modulation Depth
  Blend in just the right amount of pitch movement, from subtle detune to dramatic transformations.
• Mix Control
  Set your dry/wet balance easily for subtle enhancement or full-on shimmer takeover.

From 0% to 100% Wet:

🎛 Made for sound explorers, producers, and composers who want that cinematic edge.

Beta access on macOS. 23Shimmer is in open beta and not notarised by Apple yet — notarisation arrives with the stable release. Until then macOS keeps the quarantine flag it puts on every downloaded file, so there is one short step the first time you install.

Copy the plugin into your Components folder:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

then run this once in Terminal to clear that flag:

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/23Shimmer.component

That is all: macOS then loads it like any other plugin, and Windows needs no setup at all. If your DAW still does not list it, write to hi.23dsp@gmail.com with your macOS version and DAW — beta reports get priority.
