TC Electronic NONLIN2 Native Envelope Reverb 1.1.0 Overview

NONLIN2 Native is an envelope reverb plugin developed by TC Electronic, reimagining a signature effect from the legendary, award-winning System 6000 hardware as a native DAW plugin. Available as an AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3 plugin for both Mac and Windows, NONLIN2 Native requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later (with some retailers listing macOS 10.15 as the current minimum) and runs as a 64-bit plugin. Version 1.1.0 continues the plugin's development following its re-engineering by Danish audio engineers, several of whom worked on the original System 6000 hardware team. What sets NONLIN2 Native apart from a conventional reverb is its envelope-based, non-linear design: rather than simulating a natural room or hall decay, it generates gated, reversed, and dramatically shaped reverb effects using controllable attack and release settings applied to the reverb envelope itself. Its signature "Twist" feature can radically reshape the resulting reverb into bold, unpredictable textures, ranging from compact vocal ambience to dramatic, larger-than-life 1980s-style drum and percussion sounds, reverse reverb, and the classic gated reverb effect that defined a generation of production. Compared to typical effect reverbs, NONLIN2 Native offers a longer, more diffused response with higher resolution, alongside a classic low-density processing mode, and includes full support for standard DAW automation and project recall.

Key Features

Envelope-Controlled Reverb Generates reverb effects shaped by a controllable envelope with adjustable attack and release, rather than relying on a natural decay curve, enabling gated and reverse reverb effects. Signature "Twist" Function A unique control that can radically reshape the reverb's character into bold, unpredictable, and distinctly non-natural textures beyond standard gated or reverse effects. Classic Gated Reverb Recreates the famous gated reverb sound associated with dramatic 1980s drum and percussion production, cut off abruptly rather than allowed to decay naturally. Reverse Reverb Generates reverse reverb effects, where the reverb tail builds up into the sound rather than trailing off after it. Higher Resolution, More Diffused Response Compared to typical effect reverbs from the past, NONLIN2 Native offers a longer and more diffused reverb response with higher resolution processing. Classic Low-Density Processing Mode Alongside its modern high-resolution processing, NONLIN2 Native also offers a classic low-density mode for a different, more vintage-styled reverb texture. Full DAW Automation & Project Recall Supports standard DAW automation for every parameter, along with full project recall, so settings are preserved reliably across sessions. Custom-Built Preset Library Includes a range of custom-built presets created by professional producers and engineers, offering starting points for various reverb styles and use cases.

How to Use TC Electronic NONLIN2 Native Envelope Reverb 1.1.0

Create a free iLok account if you don't already have one; a physical iLok dongle is not required, only the free iLok Manager for authorization. Download and install the AAX, AU, VST2, or VST3 plugin. Open your DAW and load NONLIN2 Native on a track, bus, or send channel. Start with a factory preset built by a professional producer or engineer to explore the plugin's range of reverb styles. Adjust the envelope's attack and release settings to shape how the reverb tail builds and cuts off. Engage the "Twist" control to radically reshape the reverb character for more experimental or dramatic effects. Automate parameters directly in your DAW as needed, and save custom settings for reliable project recall.
