SINGLE PROGRAMS
PLATE
Plate reverb began with a large, thin sheet of metal
suspended upright under tension on springs.
Transducers attached to the plate transmitted a signal
that made the plate vibrate, causing sounds broadcast
through it to appear to be occurring in a large, open
space.
The Plate programs synthesize the sound of metal plates
with high initial diffusion and a relatively bright-colored
sound. These programs are designed to be heard as part
of the music, mellowing and thickening the sound. Plate
programs are a popular choice for enhancing pop music,
particularly percussion.
