PLATE

Plate reverb began with a large, thin sheet of metal suspended upright under tension on springs. Transducers attached to the plate transmitted a signal that made the plate vibrate, causing sounds broadcast through it to appear to be occurring in a large, open space.

The Plate programs synthesize the sound of metal plates with high initial diffusion and a relatively bright, colored sound. These programs are designed to be heard as part of the music, mellowing and thickening the sound. Plate programs are a popular choice for enhancing pop music, particularly percussion.
