Empty Room Systems

Empty Room Systems

Empty Room Systems is a compagny started by Harrie Munnik and Theo Fokkema in 2009. After working on some other projects together and both being enthusiastic about audio gear, effects, vintage sounds and computers they decided to develop a native VST plugin inspired by the first digital hardware-based reverb, the EMT 250, about which Harrie had been doing lots of research already. Thus, in april 2009 Empty Room Systems was formed - the name inspired by the lush reverberating sound of Harrie's living room after his house had been rebuilt. Programmers and graphics designers were hired and the first Empty Room Systems product, the EMpTy 250 reverb - hit the market in December 2009, just before Christmas. In june 2010 Theo ended his work with ERS and new plans where made to develop the EMpTy 250 even further. Scott Kane made a new user Interface, Alexander van Aken made the new manuals. Harrie worked hard on his C++ skills and in November 2010 version 2.0 of this reverb is delivered. The mac version was build in march 2011. We decided to build more products and the replica of the famous Roland SDD-320 Dimension D was launched in april 2011. More products and versions of the existing products are being developed now. We are currently developing the Micropitch.

Empty Room Systems build high-end plugins for PC and Mac in the following formats: VST, AU and RTAS. The plugins work with 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample frequency.
