Eventide Space – Can I replicate the Midiverb II ‘Bloom’?

[twnsn]

I’m trying to simplify my pedalboard, and instead of running my signal out to my Midiverb and then back , I want to use my Space to do the things it does. Love the reverse reverb sounds on the space, but I havae no idea if it’s possible to make that very particular ‘Bloom’ sound (patches 45 and 49).  To my knowledge it’s something along the lines of  a modulated reverb and delay, but also with the reverse envelope….

So, is it possible? How would I manage that? Are there any setting already in existence? I appreciate any help! The Space is my all-time favourite reverb (owned two) but this is one thing I have no idea about.

Now that’s an interesting challenge.  I haven’t seen it done before.  I have one of its predecessors here [MIDIFEX soapbox – Preset 50 Medium Bloom, plus the Device Squad EEPROM].  Very unique.

I have 3, 4, 5 base algorithms in mind to try out.  Not so sure yet that the Bloom is a true (backwards) reverse reverb; inverse envelope, yes.  A little grainy, and probably topping off at 12 kHz.

Lots of diffusion is a requirement here.  I believe the ‘modulation’ comes from being in a feedback loop (although modulated delay lines sound great, too).  The real key will be getting that exponential attack, while maintaining the lushness & decay.  I’ll try a few different approaches, as time permits.

Appreciate the help! Not really any rush for it, but it would make my setup much smaller and usable. Also possibly useful is the low bitrate on them… I think they’re only 16?
