Key Features

  • M7-inspired reverb engine focused on realistic rooms, chambers, halls, plates, nonlinear spaces, ambiences, and wide spatial effects for mix and sound-design work.
  • All 234 original-style M7 presets are represented, giving the plugin a large ready-made library of spaces instead of a small teaser preset bank.
  • Eleven reverb types cover Ambience, Chambers, Halls 1/2, Nonlin, Plates 1/2, Rooms 1/2, and Spaces 1/2 for quick movement between tight spaces and huge tails.
  • Smooth reduces transient loudness feeding the reverb tail, helping dense reverbs feel thicker without softening the dry signal's initial impact.
  • Ducking, tempo-synced pre-delay, low and air EQ, and Flux or Ensemble modulation make it easier to fit lush reverb into busy productions.
  • The preset browser includes searching, tags, favorites, random preset shuffling, and preset locking for input, output, and mix parameters.
  • AU, VST3, and AAX support on macOS and Windows, including native Apple Silicon support, gives it broad DAW compatibility.

Description

Magic7 is Wave Alchemy's M7-inspired reverb plugin for macOS and Windows, built around the natural rooms, chambers, halls, plates, nonlinear spaces, and expansive ambiences associated with the original Bricasti hardware. It is best understood as a polished mix reverb rather than a novelty effect: the official page focuses on three-dimensional depth, true-stereo clarity, and fast movement between tight drum spaces, vocal ambience, authentic rooms, and large cinematic tails.

The headline feature is the complete 234-preset M7-inspired library, organized across eleven reverb types so you can reach familiar hardware-style spaces without designing a reverb from scratch. Wave Alchemy adds a modern preset browser with search, tags, favorites, random preset selection, preset locking for input/output/mix balance, and a resizable high-definition interface.

The extra controls make Magic7 more flexible than a static preset player. Tempo-synced pre-delay, low and air EQ, ducking, transient smoothing, and Flux or Ensemble modulation give you practical ways to keep reverb wide and lush without washing out the dry sound.

As checked on May 25, 2026, the official Wave Alchemy page still labels Magic7 FREE, lists the current product price as 0.00 in page data, and presents a live Download button with no countdown, coupon, trial wording, or limited-time language. The BPB lead and official page both describe it as an AU, VST3, and AAX plugin for macOS and Windows, so the candidate's vst_plugin category is correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Magic7 a convolution reverb or an algorithmic reverb?

Wave Alchemy describes Magic7 as a plugin that recreates the sound and presets of the M7, but the public product page does not label it strictly as convolution or algorithmic. The safest framing is that it is an M7-inspired digital reverb plugin with custom DSP for ducking, smoothing, spatialization, and pitch modulation.

How many reverb types does Magic7 include?

The official feature list names eleven reverb types: Ambience, Chambers, Halls 1, Halls 2, Nonlin, Plates 1, Plates 2, Rooms 1, Rooms 2, Spaces 1, and Spaces 2. BPB also highlights the same eleven-type structure.

What makes the Smooth control useful?

Wave Alchemy says Smooth reduces the transient volume that feeds the reverb while leaving the dry signal intact. In practice, that is aimed at thicker, less metallic tails without dulling the source's initial attack.

Does Magic7 include the full M7-style preset set?

Yes. Wave Alchemy's current page says Magic7 includes all 234 M7 presets in true-stereo clarity, and BPB separately reports that Wave Alchemy recreated all 234 original presets.
