Variable sample rate delay lines The heart of PSP 285 is a pair of delay buffers that run at variable sample rates, ranging from The heart of PSP 285 is a pair of delay buffers that run at variable sample rates, ranging from 50% to 200% of the host sample rate. -

This is called aliasing, and it can really ruin your audio… and since PSP 285 relies on sample rate conversion we took care to deal with that problem. and since PSP 285 relies on sample rate conversion we took care to deal with that problem. -

Filters Filters PSP 285’s Filter section contains two filters (Filter 1 and Filter 2) and a Drive module. These PSP 285’s Filter section contains two filters (Filter 1 and Filter 2) and a Drive module. These can be used to shape the spectral content of audio at several points in the plug-in’s audio path. - Page 10 There are two types of saturation available in the Drive module: Soft and Hard. The Hard saturation type is the same as the legacy Drive mode in PSP 85. saturation type is the same as the legacy Drive mode in PSP 85.

INPUT knob position not only changes the volume, but can also affect the sound itself. Dry and wet signals can be mixed in any proportion; PSP 285 uses the –6 dB pan law, meaning Dry and wet signals can be mixed in any proportion; PSP 285 uses the –6 dB pan law, meaning that at center position the dry and wet signals are both attenuated by 6 dB prior to summing. -
