It's that time of the year again (already, huh) when Soundtoys releases Little things that go a long way.

Available for free until November 22th is Little Plate, a plate reverb plugin based on the hefty EMT 140 plate reverb unit introduced in 1957 by Wilhelm Franz at Germany’s Elektro-Mess-Technik.

Best Plate Reverb ever Made

Even in 2017, the EMT 140 is still regarded as the best plate reverb ever made.

A few fun facts I came across today while digging for more information about this mythical verb machine:

• The real thing still costs thousands (dollars, euros) today, if you manage to find one in reasonable condition.
• There was an EMT 140 Plate Reverb for sale on reverb.com a few years ago for around 5000 Euros. I'm not sure whether it was actually sold or not.
• The EMT 140 weighs hundreds of pounds, it's about the size of an upright piano without the keys.
• It takes at least three people to carry and at least one chiropractor to realign their joints afterwards.
• The EMT 140 was virtually the only reverb that was used on Pink Floyd’s 'Dark Side of the Moon.'
Speaking of vibrating plates… In 1957, the year the EMT 140 plate was introduced, San Francisco got all shook up by an earthquake also known as the Daly City earthquake, on March 22nd. That's the same day Elvis’ “All Shook Up” was released as a single. Coincidence? I think not! ;)

Tons of Plates

Double hat tip to Soundtoys for making such a tasteful 32-second teaser for a new product.

You'd almost think wish something bigger is coming up. 'Revenge of the Plate Verbs' on Netflix, anyone?

The sounds are headphone-worthy:

To develop this plugin, Soundtoys obsessively collected five real EMT 140 units from around the United States, put them in the labs in Burlington, a city in northwestern Vermont, USA (best known for ski resorts, IBM employees, maple syrup, and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.)

After potentially breaking the bank, dislocating a few vertebrae, cleaning, tuning, testing, and coding, they ultimately ported the classic EMT 140 sound over to the digital realm.

In other words: tons of plate reverb (a single EMT 140 weighs 600 pounds) are now available in a Soundtoys plugin that weighs and costs nothing.

Little Plate will set you back $99 after November 22nd though.

Plugin Interface & Features

Meeting the needs of those of us tinkering daily with today's DAW's, Soundtoys too added a few useful features to the plugin that were not available on the original EMT 140 hardware unit:

Infinite Decay Time

Compared to the EMT 140's limited reverb decay time of around 6 seconds or so, Little Plate offers a broader range of reverb decay times, from half a second up to infinity - so that you can use it both for short ambience reverb effects and frozen reverbs. Check out the product page for audio examples.

Reverb Modulation

Use the Modulation switch to subtly modulate the reverb's tail for a thicker sound on vocals, keys, guitars, and other instruments. Check out the product page for some examples.

Low-Cut Filter

Use the Low-Cut Filter to remove the build-up of low frequencies in the reverb to keep your mix clean and modern. The filter goes all the way to 20 kHz. That should be useful if you're into using plate verb on percussion.

Plate Reverb Tips & Tricks

In all fairness, you can't say 'EMT 140 plugin' without mentioning other third-party plugin developers, two of them being Universal Audio and Waves.

UA published an excellent page covering how and when to use plate reverb back in the summer of 2011.

The tips are still valid today.

To get you going, this quote:

Another cool option would be to use DAW automation to gradually increase the reverb level on the strings — often called a “reverb build” — in order to create a heightened sense of drama as the piece develops. This would be impossible to do with the hardware because of the mechanical noise, but with the plug-in version, continuous automation of decay time works perfectly.

The Abbey Road Reverb Technique

You can't say 'EMT 140' without mentioning the Abbey Road Reverb Technique either.

As plate reverbs are still widely used today, mostly on vocals I presume, you may want to learn more about this mix engineering trick if you haven't already.

Put simply, the Abbey Road Reverb trick involves rolling off everything below 600Hz and above 10kHz by using high- and low-pass filters placed before the reverb.

As demonstrated by mix engineer Dave Pensado in this video (there's a big bonus tip about 9 minutes in: watch Dave use a little tube saturation for extra plate lushness, it's subtle but brilliant):

A free Soundtoys plug-in? You are going to like the sound of that! Free until November 22, Little Plate is a warm, vintage plate reverb plug-in which simulates the 1957 EMT 140 hardware unit. The EMT 140 is so far from anything a young producer could imagine as a hardware reverb, so it’s best checking out the video demonstration below to see what vintage plate reverbatin’ it’s all about. Little Plate (you might find the name quite ironic after seeing the video) is very simple to dial in, featuring only four main controls – Decay, Mix, Low Cut, and a modulation switch. Throw it onto your tracks for a late 50s vibe or something else entirely.

Little Plate is available in all the usual formats for Windows and Mac computers. You will have to register with Soundtoys and install the free iLok License Manager to authorize it (no dongle required).

MSpectralPan by Melda Production

Nexus Vst Download

Melda Production offers an interesting tool – the MSpectralPan free spectral panner plug-in. In short, MSpectralPan lets you position individual frequencies across the frequency spectrum. It does it with an innovative user interface that lets you ‘draw’ in where you want to pan stuff. According to Melda Production, the plug-in is great for cleaning up mixes, creating depth, fixing frequency clashes, and coming up with creative effects. In addition to frequency panning, it also does modulation via LFO, step sequencing, and envelope followers, so you can get pretty nuts with it. We guess that’s why Melda implemented automatic gain compensation and a safety limiter – speakers could easily be blown without these in place!

MSpectralPan is available for Windows and Mac computers in 32 & 64-bit VST, AU, and AAX formats.
