Plate
A Plate reverb is a large, thin sheet of metal suspended upright under tension on
springs. Transducers attached to the plate transmit a signal that makes the plate
vibrate, causing sounds to appear to be occurring in a large, open space.
The Plate plug-in mimics the sound of plate reverberators, with high initial dif-
fusion and a relatively bright, colored sound. For this reason, they are good
choices for percussion. They are designed to be heard as part of the music,
mellowing and thickening the initial sound itself. The Plate sound is what many
people associate with the word reverb, and it is useful for all popular music.
