Physical Audio Dynamic Plate Reverb

[Larry Shelby]

Dynamic Plate Reverb uses a physical model of a thin metal plate to recreate the classic sound of plate reverberation. Our innovative algorithm gives creative control of the plate setup, allowing you to tailor the resonance to your material. Five different plate materials, a pre-amp drive, and a powerful 8-band mode equalizer give a huge range of tonal variation that can be applied to vocals, drums or instruments.

Dynamic Plate Reverb does not use impulse responses or delay networks. Instead we start from a mathematical description, the Kirchhoff plate equation. This gives the displacement in terms of size, thickness, and tension, as well as the properties of the chosen material. Using this description we calculate the modes of vibration for the system, applying our unique optimisation engine.

The physical model allows real-time control of the dimensions of the plate, from 3m x 2m down to 1.5m x 1m. This, along with five different plate materials, allows you to tailor the resonance to your input material. The 8-band equaliser adjusts the weights of the modes across the frequency range for total control over the reverberant sound. The modelled pre-amp drive section can be used to add warm or overdrive to the signal that is fed into the plate.

Features:

- Continuously variable plate size and choice of 5 materials with unique decay characters.

- 8-band mode equalizer section.

- Modelled pre-amp drive unit.

- Reverb pre-delay.
