Program Descriptions

1 Plate

The Plate programs synthesize the sound of metal plates with high initial diffusion and a relatively
bright, colored sound. These programs are designed to be heard as part of the music, mellowing and
thickening the initial sound. They are a popular choice for enhancing pop music, particularly
percussion.

Plate reverb was originally generated by a large, thin sheet of metal suspended upright under
tension on springs. Transducers attached to the plate transmitted a signal that made the plate
vibrate — making sounds broadcast through the plate seem to be occurring in a large open space.
