Great Reverb. Fast.
Rooms, plates, chambers, halls, effects—ready when you are.
The Micro Digital Reverberator is an uncomplicated reverb that puts great sounds at your fingertips. It has fast controls, straightforward presets, and a sound that dominated home studios and demos in the late 80s and 90s. Those sounds, though, found their way into the big studios as bands were signed to majors and turned those demos into the iconic albums of the 90s and 2000s.
You’ll find all those great small rooms, plates and chambers that are on your favorite records, as well as a bunch of fun, vintage effects for added spice. And all of it is ready to go, no fuss, no dickering around with parameters. Pick a preset and go.

Nerdy. Easy. Super Cool.
The sound of late-’80s digital reverb.The Micro Digital Reverberator combines killer reverb and delay effects with a super friendly user interface and controls. Drums? Vocals? Synths? Guitars? This little plugin has you covered.
Our MDR has the sounds of the first generations of budget reverbs that took over project studios in the late 1980s. In a few years, these units were commonplace in major recording studios and all over many of your favorite records.
Don’t let the simple interface fool you: this thing sounds amazing, with tight small rooms, huge plates and halls, gates and reverse reverbs, and some effects that can only be found on the MDR.
Reverb doesn’t have to be work. It just has to sound good.
For those times the ideas are flowing.Setting up reverbs on a mix can be way too much of a distraction when you’re moving quickly from idea to idea. The Micro Digital Reverberator is perfect when you need to be light on your feet. Slap it on an insert, bring the DRY all the way up, and pick a preset. Sounds good but a little congested? Open up the Pre-Delay. Done.
Stuck on a track and don’t know how to make it interesting? Go to Machine 2 and punch in random numbers, or your birthday, or click the arrows. The MDR switches instantly, with no break in your creative flow.
- General small room ambience: Machine 1, Small 1 or 2
- Snare: Machine 1, Small 4
- Big beautiful hall: Machine 2, preset 25
Or put each of those settings on a different send and you’re done.
Two Machines
Two generations of the digital reverbs that defined late-’80s records.
Machine 1
A simulation of a very popular 16 bit, 1/3 rack size digital reverberator introduced in 1986. Although it has a limited amount of sounds, they are carefully designed and sound great. You still see this unit in guitar racks and studios all over the world.
Machine 2
A simulation of the second-generation, full-rack size digital reverberator. This unit has lots of presets, lots of useful sounds, and some one-off special effects which can only be found on this particular unit.
Nerdy on the Back Side
Frequency response, oversampling, GUI performance and a stereo widener.
The Micro Digital Reverberator has a few tweaks on the other side that let you craft frequency response, oversampling and GUI performance.
01
Damping
Shapes how quickly the high frequencies fade in the reverb tail.
02
Width
A super effective stereo widener, for when you want the effect all around the music and the listener.
03
LPF
A low-pass filter on the effect, to darken or open up the top end.
Oversampling, GPU acceleration and GUI zoom menus sit alongside the trims.
The Micro Digital Reverberator is Vintage Magic
Pros talking about the Micro Digital Reverberator 1
This surprising little Microverb from Korneff is absolutely fantastic. My classic Klark-Teknik DN 780 Just Died on me but this verb is the perfect replacement for it. The Gated Verbs are a wonderful reminder of a great musical time gone by, This is a very welcome & flavorful tool to my arsenal, Thx Lads, you’ve done it yet again & I salute you…
My goal for a long time now is to make a frictionless-as-possible studio…. Where someone comes up with an idea and then it’s basically a lubed-up waterslide to completion. Things like this, the MDR is definitely aligned with my guiding principles. Every mix will have an instance of it somewhere.
Dan’s plugins give me a totally different flavor than anything else out there. They sound great, are super easy and fun to use, and give you that “wow” factor that can turn a dull sound into something super exciting the second you instantiate them.

Real customer reviews Micro Digital Reverberator 1
Loved it (and for the price?)!!! Was working on a mix that had a tambourine that needed the classic 80s long verb on it when it hit with the snare on 2 and 4 – spent a while trying to get it dead on with a bunch of other plugins and then downloaded this, put it on and had the perfect sound within a few minutes.
I own the unnamed reverb used on machine 2. Sounds just like it to my ears. Very crunchy.
Exactly like Dan said this little unit got its own sound – GREAT!!
Great sound. Easy to use. Korneff audio always delivers!!!
I own every plugin, and regret buying none of them. They’re all useful in their own way, and the tweakability is extremely fun and clever. Highly recommend, especially at these price points.
Amazing unit
Instant results
Very clean
Used is on 2 mix’s so far.
It’s now my Go To!
Fantastic reverb plugin. Instantly fell in love with the sounds. Simple and easy to use. Buy it!
This thing fucks.
Great reverb. Lots of character in this little guy and can be used on a bunch of sources!
Korneff does it again!
Very cool!!!!
This reverb was a big surprise! I picked it up on a whim and since the AIP has been so useful, I figured Korneff wouldn’t let me down.
It’s a solid reverb for lots of different applications. Highly recommend!
Remake of a forgotten classic. Well done!
Reverb doesn’t have to be all about the sound from expensive hi end hardware units.
Sometimes you need a SM-57 mic for the job and not a U-47. Sometimes you might want some reverb from a few cheap 80’s reverbs as opposed to the sound of some hi end reverb units.
This fun little plugin is easy and quick to use and it has a nice GUI.
It captures the sound of 2 widely used and owned consumer hardware units from the 80’s. I used to own one of them myself in my little home setup, as I’m sure plenty of other people did.
These units were widely used. They sounded cool back then and they still sound cool today if you ask me.
5 stars from me
What can I say, bought it yesterday and it already replaced the other reverbs I usually reach for. Super fast to dial in, there’s so many flavors that it’s impossible to not find a preset that works on a scenario. Great job!
Fantastic work! Really loving the sounds.
Small but big!
RECOMENDED!
Very happy with the purchase, great plugin!
Spending time tweaking endless parameters on reverb plug-ins is a drag. The MDR hits a sweet spot in offering several kickass reverbs that sound amazing, without having to waste time. Within one minute of putting it on a drum bus, I knew it become my go-to reverb. Simple and effective. Thank you!
Love everything that Dan and the team come up with @ Korneff – I own every plug in and love them all ! The new Micro Digital Reverberator has instantly become my new ‘Go-To’ Snare & Toms verb – Such a simple interface – but that doesn’t detract from the wide array of sounds you have at your fingertips over the 2 engines. Sounds awesome and sounds awesome quickly ! Instantiate – Noodle minimally – Revel in Reverb Glory ! Job Done – Nuff Said !
Amazing trip down memory lane, but also sounds so good on top of all the lush verbs! 10/10
Very simple to use.
Good quality.
Not expensive.
Thank You 🙂

I’m a producer since the 90s and I love the reverbs from that period. I still have a lot. Thanks Korneff for letting the vibe live on. The Micro Digital Reverberator sounds amazing!
HOLY CHRIST does this sound absolutely unbelievable.
I jumped on it immediately without knowing anything about it just based on the Korneff name alone.
Sweet Jesus I’m in heaven.
It’s really that good
Awesome sound yet simple to use and a steal at that price.
A variety of sounds that sound good straight away. Classic sounds and some interesting unique ones in a simple, easy to use plugin.
Well worth the every penny.
