UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 108 - Plate 140
Plate 140 Controls
The Plate 140 interface is an amalgam of controls found at the plate amplifier
itself and the remote damper controls, plus a few DAW-friendly controls that
we added for your convenience. The GUI incorporates the original look and
feel of those controls, and utilizes that look for the DAW-only controls.
Note: When adjusting parameters, keyboard shortcuts are available for fine,
coarse, and other control methods. See “Shortcuts” on page 29.
Reverb
Plate reverb systems are extremely simple: A re-
mote damper setting, and a high pass or shelf fil-
ter found at the plate itself. Additional manipula-
tion is often used, including reverb return
equalization, which is typically achieved at the
console. Predelay is/was often achieved when
necessary with tape delay, sending the return to
a tape deck. Different tape speeds allowed dif-
ferent pre-delay amount.
The original damper controls are remote control devices, usually found some-
where near the control room for quick access. Our hybrid panel combines
three remotes into the panel, with a switch to select each of the three available
systems.
Note: The reverb controls (select and time) are completely independent from
the other plugin controls (EQ, Predelay, Width, etcetera).
Plate Select
Switch
Three plate models (algorithms) are available for reverb process-
ing. This switch specifies which plate will be active.
Each setting is a model of a completely separate and unique plate
system. Three 140’s for the price of one!
Note: You can also switch the active plate by clicking the A, B, or
C letters above the Plate Select switch and the Reverb Time meters.
