Audio Damage announces that the product page of its upcoming reverb plug-in Eos is now live.

Eos is a smooth, modern reverb with three custom-designed algorithms, optimized for low CPU usage and ease of programming. Eos has a broad tonal palette and is capable of everything from extremely short, dense percussion room sounds on up to gargantuan halls.

• Three custom-designed algorithms: Plate 1 (mono in, stereo out), Plate 2 (true stereo), and Superhall (true stereo) built with modern production in mind.
• All standard reverb controls, including modulation rate and depth, attack, diffusion, and full control over the EQ and multipliers of the reverb tail.
• Infinite control for "freeze" effects.
• Unique visual controls designed for quick and easy programming.
• Low CPU usage compared to other algorithmic reverb plug-ins, and far lower than the average convolution 'verb.
• Full MIDI learn for hardware control of most parameters (VST only).

Eos will be available for both Mac (VST/AU) and PC (VST) with price TBA. No official release date but Analog Industries (Audio Damge's blog) bets on Friday...
