Your Sound on a Silver Platter
Physical plate reverbs employ large, heavy slabs of sound-conducting steel suspended by springs to create unique, unnatural sounding vibrations. While room reverbs enhance the character of an audio source and seek to emulate a physical space, plate reverbs are decidedly synthetic. Their otherworldly characteristics permeate the catalogs of groundbreaking artists such as Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane, bathing their recordings in surreal, cosmic properties that seem to have extraterrestrial origin.
Thanks to our TXVerb technology, Perfect Plate XL uncompromisingly emulates this sought after effect with enhanced controls over the parameters that make it so iconic, as well as some additional settings you can manipulate to blast your audio beyond the orbit of traditional plate reverbs. You can use Perfect Plate XL in moderation to tastefully imbue vocal recordings with the classic, dreamy smear popularized in the 60’s and 70’s or generate a mind bending metallic reverb that makes drums sound as if they were performed with a sledgehammer in the iron belly of an oil tanker.
Get supernatural by using Perfect Plate XL’s Rotate, Detune, and Width parameters to turn almost any audio signal into a cinematic synth drone that rotates around the stereo field and tucks your mix into a textural bed of sci-fi ambience.Perfect Plate XL gives you the power to invent new ways to launch your tracks into a parallel universe of your own design.

MAIN PANEL
- INPUT AND OUTPUT (-48dB to 48dB): Input and output gain that let you boost or attenuate the signal going in and going out, giving you more control over the signal.
- MIX (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes in the wet reverb signal, giving you control over the overall intensity of the effect.
- HPF AND LPF (20Hz to 20kHz): A high pass and low pass filter to apply additional filtering to the generated noise.
- DELAY (0ms to 1000ms): Adds pre-delay to the wet reverb signal to preserve clarity and transients.
- TAIL (0ms to 10000ms): Controls the length of the reverb tail.
- WIDTH (0% to 100%): Lets you adjust the stereo width of the wet reverb signal.
- SLOPE (12db/oct / 24db/oct / 36db/oct / 48db/oct): Lets you choose between different dampening filter slopes.
- SPEED (SLOW XL / SLOW / MEDIUM / FAST / FAST XL): Lets you choose between different dampening filter speeds.
- COLOR (NATURAL / BRIGHT / DARK): Lets you choose the overall color of the plate.
- FLIP (ON / OFF): Reverses the reverb tail.
- SPLIT (ON / OFF): Creates a stereo reverb from a mono source.
- EQ GRAPH (6 NODES): Lets you equalize the plate reverb.
- FX PANEL 1: RESO (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes in the resonance effect.
- FREQ 1 / 2 / 3 (20Hz to 20kHz): Lets you set the resonance frequencies.
- RES 1 / 2 / 3 (0% to 100%): Lets you set the intensity of the resonance frequencies.
- GAIN 1 / 2 / 3 (-48dB to 0dB): Lets you lower the volume of the resonance frequencies.
FX PANEL 2
- DRIVE (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes in the drive effect.
- TAPE / WARP / BUZZ / BITE (0% to 100%): Lets you mix-in different distortion types
- CHAIN (PRE / POST): Lets you position the drive pre or post reverb in the internal effects chain
- MAKEUP (-24db to 24db): Lets you apply make-up gain to compensate for the drive effect.
FX PANEL 3
- ROTATE (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes-in the rotate effect.
- VIBRATO / TREMOLO / FILTER / PAN (0% to 100%): Lets you mix in four different host-synced modulation effects.
- SHAPE (SINE / SINE INV / SAW / SAW INV / SQR / SQR INV / TRI / TRI INV): Lets you choose the LFO shape used for the host-synced modulation.
- TIME (1/32 / 1/16 / 1/8 / 1/4 /1/2 / 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32): Lets you choose the LFO time used for the host-synced modulation.
- FEEL (STR8 / TRIP / DOT): Lets you choose the LFO feel used for the host-synced modulation.
- OFFSET (0% to 100%): Lets you offset the LFO shape used for the host-synced modulation.
- SMOOTH (0% to 100%): Lets you smooth out the edges of the LFO shape used for the host-synced modulation.
FX PANEL 4
- DETUNE (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes-in the detune effect.
- WOW (0% to 100%): Lets you slowly detune the wet reverb signal in a pseudo-random manner.
- SHAKE (0% to 100%): Lets you quickly detune the wet reverb signal in a pseudo-random manner.
- SPEED (0% to 100%): Lets you control the speed of the wow and shake features.
FX PANEL 5
- DUCKER (0% to 100%): Smoothly mixes-in the ducker effect.
- THRESHOLD (-48dB to 0db): Sets the threshold above where the ducking kicks in.
- RATIO (1 to 10): Sets the compression ratio used by the ducker.
- ATTACK (0ms to 1000ms): The attack feature fades in the gain reduction generated by the ducker.
- HOLD (0ms to 100ms): The hold feature stabilizes the gain reduction generated by the ducker.
- RELEASE (0ms to 5000ms): The release feature fades out the gain reduction generated by the ducker.
- LATENCY: To utilize the TXVerb technology the Perfect Plate has 2048 samples of latency. The plug-in reports this latency to the DAW, so the DAW can compensate for it if you enable the DAW's 'delay compensation' functionality. This means that in any professional DAW, you do not have to worry about latency at all during the mixing mastering stage of your productions. However, in general DAW delay compensation does not work when recording. This means that the Perfect Room reverb plugin will have some latency during the recording stage, just like any other plugin that reports latency to the DAW.
