40 DIGITAL RACK MIXER M32R User Manual 2.11 Internal Effects 41 DIGITAL RACK MIXER M32R User Manual Rich Plate Reverb Chamber Reverb Vintage Reverb Rich Plate Reverb was originally created by sending a signal through a transducer to create vibrations on a plate of sheet metal which were then picked up as an audio signal. Our algorithm simulates that sound with high initial diffusion and a bright-coloured sound. Inspired by the Lexicon Plate Reverb.
42 DIGITAL RACK MIXER M32R User Manual Gated Reverb This effect was originally achieved by combining a reverb with a noise gate. Our gated reverb creates the same impression by a special shaping of the reverb tail. Gated Reverb is especially effective for creating a 1980’s-style snare sound, or to enlarge the presence of a kick drum. Inspired by the Lexicon 300/480L. PRE DELAY controls the amount of time before the reverberation is heard following the source signal.
