The actual EMT 140 was a big box with a steel plate in it stored out of site, not a rack unit like the plugin would lead you to believe. Maybe it’s because of the nostalgic look of the plugin, and knowing it’s rich history, I feel comfortable applying it to just about any track.Īs an aside, don’t be fooled by the UAD interface. It’s tough to do an apples to apples comparison, because the UAD is trying to emulate the real thing, while the Soundtoys is capturing the essense. This is useful if you want the Wet or Low Cut knob to stay the same while cycling through presets. The knob’s description will turn red when locked. Tip: Hold Option and Control at the same time to lock the knob’s setting.

To show how subtle yet drastic an effect the plugin can have on your mix with just the minimum half second delay, here is a Percussion sample with a Vocal sample.

The following clip demonstrates, at a longer delay, what affect the extremes of the Low Cut knob have. The Low Cut knob is useful for cutting out some of the boomy low end to avoid “build up” as the longer delay times will “accumulate” the low end frequencies, making it too muddy. That is also useful when you want to send multiple tracks to the same Little Plate instance so that they all sound like they are in the same space. Alternatively, you can setup a send to emulate a traditional console, in which case you’d leave it as Wet on an Aux track. The Mix knob is useful if you want to put the effect inline as an Audio FX on the instrument’s track.
#Little plate soundtoys mod#
The mod button adds slight modulation in an effort to smooth out the sound for long reverbs. You can always automate the delay knob in your DAW, turning it down during busy parts, and then setting it to infinity during quieter parts of the song. If you don’t care, turn it up as far as you want. If you want to be faithful to the original, stay below the red. The nice thing is that they put a red ring around the delay knob showing what is outside of the original EMT’s bounds. While the original EMT 140 could only go up to 5 seconds of delay, the Little Plate can go up to Inifinity. It’s an essential tool to have for any style, especially if you do vocals. The EMT 140 is pretty much the standard for plate reverbs, and has been used on such historic albums as Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and John Lennon’s Imagine. They also went beyond the original 5 second maximum delay to infinity. They didn’t model one unit, but looked at 5 units and tried to capture the essence.
