About VST Rack Elements About VST Rack Elements • VST Rack Elements is a plug-in host software product for Mac and Windows PCs that processes audio using a diverse range of VST plug-in effects such as delays, maximizers, reverbs and more. This software uses the widely recognized Steinberg audio engine featured in Nuendo and Cubase, offering sound engineers a stable VST plug-in environment with high audio quality.

Delay Plug-ins Delay Plug-ins MonoDelay This is a mono delay effect. The delay line uses either tempo-based or freely specified delay time settings. LO FILTER Affects the feedback loop of the effect signal and allows you to roll off low frequencies. The button below the knob activates/deactivates the filter. HI FILTER Affects the feedback loop of the effect signal and allows you to roll off high frequencies. The button below the knob activates/deactivates the filter.

Delay Plug-ins StereoDelay This is a stereo delay effect that includes two independent delay effects. It can either be tempo-based or use freely specified delay time settings.  This plug-in works only on stereo racks. FEEDBACK Sets the number of repeats for each delay. DELAY Sets the delay time in milliseconds. SYNC Activates/Deactivates tempo sync for the corresponding delay. MIX Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the wet signal.

Dynamics Plug-ins Dynamics Plug-ins Maximizer Maximizer raises the loudness of audio material without the risk of clipping. The plug-in provides two modes, [Classic] and [Modern], that offer different algorithms and parameters. CLASSIC [Classic] mode provides the classic algorithms from previous versions of this plug-in. This mode is suited for all styles of music. MODERN In [Modern] mode, the algorithm allows for more loudness than in [Classic] mode.

EQ Plug-ins EQ Plug-ins GEQ-30 These are graphic equalizers. GEQ-30 has 30 available frequency bands. Each band can be attenuated or boosted by up to 12 dB, allowing for fine control of the frequency response. In addition, there are several preset modes available that can add color to the sound of GEQ-30. You can draw response curves in the main display by clicking and dragging with the mouse. You have to click one of the sliders before you drag across the display.

EQ Plug-ins VariableQ Applies parallel filters where the resonance depends on the amount of gain. ConstQ asym Applies parallel filters where the resonance is raised when boosting the gain and vice versa. ConstQ sym Applies parallel filters where the resonance of the first and last bands depends on the sample rate. Resonant Applies serial filters where a gain increase of one band lowers the gain in adjacent bands. 8 | VST Rack Elements V1.

Reverb Plug-ins Reverb Plug-ins Roomworks SE RoomWorks SE is a smaller version of the RoomWorks plug-in. RoomWorks SE delivers high quality reverberation, but has fewer parameters and is less CPU demanding than the full version. PRE-DELAY Determines how much time passes before the reverb is applied. This allows you to simulate larger rooms by increasing the time it takes for the first reflections to reach the listener. REVERB TIME Allows you to set the reverb time in seconds.

Tools Plug-ins Tools Plug-ins Test Generator This utility plug-in allows you to generate an audio signal. The resulting file can then be used for a number of purposes: • Testing the specifications of audio equipment • Measurements of various kinds, such as calibrating tape recorders • Testing signal processing methods • Educational purposes The TestGenerator is based on a waveform generator that can generate a number of basic waveforms such as sine and saw as well as various types of noise.
