Poly Shimmer
Experience the next generation of shimmer reverb.
Vexon PolyShimmer combines the legendary Zita Reverb (Faust-based FDN) with a custom Granular Pitch-Shift Engine to create lush, multi-layered harmonic spaces.
With four fully independent shimmer layers, PolyShimmer transforms a simple signal into breathtaking, cinematic atmospheres — from ethereal pads to dreamy guitars and ambient textures that seem to float forever.

Why PolyShimmer?
Unlike typical shimmer reverbs that only pitch one octave up,
PolyShimmer gives you musical control over every harmonic layer — from octave up/down to thirds and fifths —
letting you design your own harmonic shimmer chords.
It’s a tool for dreamers, composers, and sound designers seeking emotional depth and spatial beauty.
