FXAlg #14: Grand Plate
Algorithm Reference-29
Decay Time
The reverberation decay time (mid-band ÒRT
60
Ó), the time required before the
reverberation has died away to 60dB below its ÒrunningÓ level. Adjust decay time
according to the tempo and articulation of the music. To emulate a plate reverb, this
control is typically set from 1 to 5 seconds.
HF Damping
Adjusts lowpass Þlters in the reverberator so that high frequencies die away more
quickly than mid and low frequencies. This shapes the reverberation for a more natural,
more acoustically accurate sound. To emulate a plate reverb, this control is typically set
to 5920Hz.
LF Damping
Adjusts hipass Þlters in the reverberator so that low frequencies die away more quickly
than mid and high frequencies. This shapes the reverberation for a more natural, more
acoustically accurate sound. To emulate a plate reverb, this control is typically set to 52
Hz.
Lowpass
Shapes the overall reverberation signalÕs treble content, but does not modify the decay
time. Reduce the treble for a duller, more natural acoustic effect. To emulate a plate
reverb, this control is typically set to 3951Hz.
Bass Gain
Shapes the overall reverberation signalÕs bass content, but does not modify the decay
time. Reduce the bass for a less muddy sound. To emulate a plate reverb, this control is
typically set to -12dB.
