McDSP plug-ins
5. The Contour page lets you control the onset of the reverb and the way it
decays using Attack, Hold, and Contour amount controls.
6. The X Over (crossover) page lets you control how fast the lows, mids,
and highs decay. The crossover breaks the reverb into three frequency
bands, and then allows the reverb tails of those bands to be decreased or
increased as a percentage of the original reverb length.
7. The Levels page lets you balance the reverb output, the two delay outputs,
the wet and the dry signals.
The Display
There is a relatively large display positioned in the upper right quadrant of the
user interface. This so-called ‘plot’ display has tabs across the top that let you
display the following:
1. The current impulse response
2. An image of where the impulse response was taken
3. A plot that shows the responses of the various EQ sections
4. A flow diagram that not only lets you choose how the delay lines are
routed in relation to the reverb, but also lets you choose where you want
the EQ to be applied – at the output of the reverb at the output of delay 1
or delay 2 and so forth
5. A system page that lets you control the tail cut (i.e. the level at which the
reverb trails becomes truncated) and also has a latency mode control and
a stereo mode control.
McDSP TV
At McDSP TV on YouTube, ( www.youtube.com/user/McDSPTV ), you can  nd
lots of useful videos about McDSP products.
For example, Colin McDowell of McDSP explains why he has upgraded the
McDSP range to support AAX:
‘First thing – 64-bit audio support. If you are into pro audio, you want as
many bits as possible in the audio path for your plug-ins and more bits is
‘more better’. And now we have real-time control smoothing, so it sounds as
