I tried to balance all the settings and specs and levels best I could. But let’s be honest, I really just slapped some verb on some samples. If you want to nitpick the settings this is probably not the thread for you. That said, I'm happy to tweak any levels if they don't sound right. These are all hall verbs with 2.7s decay. The hardest part was trying to balance levels between software and hardware verbs, since there isn't an exact setting, I just tried to make them sound good.
Technically these are all hardware... in a way... as I mix everything outside the box. But there is no additional FX or EQ or mastering of any sort. I tried to choose the most basic hall settings for each verb that would give you the best feel. I did write down the settings I used for every example.
I used a dry vocal sample from Sonuscore’s “Lyrical Vocal” and then a flute riff that @windshore recorded for me (hope he doesn’t mind). I think it’s likely a bansuri but not positive on that. @NoamL sent me some dry orch mockups he did from Jumanji by good composer Henry Jackman, I could try using those if there’s any interest but thought I’d start with this.

I used an online randomizer to randomly set the order of the nine reverbs so I couldn’t subconsciously influence you with the order, though you’re also free to listen in any order you want:
