Intro
The AMS RMX16 was the world’s first microprocessor controlled,
full bandwidth digital reverberator and characterized an enormous
number of seminal recordings from the 1980s onwards. Its
designer’s love for music and experience in the aerospace industry
meant it was way ahead of its time on release.
It has remained an essential piece of kit for any self-respecting
world-class studio ever since, and the units sell today for a
substantial proportion of their original cost due to their great
desirability.
Designed from the outset to be musical rather than simply
implementing mathematical algorithms, each program was tuned
and re-tuned to provide as wide a “sweet-spot” of settings as
possible by means of “carpet graph” parameter tables,
interactively linked control by control. It was designed by ear over
an extended period of time and from first principles and this is
what has made it a classic. Despite its longevity, there is little
more any present-day design could better and its sound is unique
and instantly recognisable.
Now available in a plug-in, the sound once available only to
premier studios is now on tap for a much wider user base.
In addition to the 9 programs that the AMS RMX16 has as standard
there are a rare series of aftermarket programs that were made
available to AMS RMX16 users if they could get their hands on the
unique and now elusive RMX16 remote control with bar code
reader input. These 9 extra programs are included in the AMS
RMX-16 Digital Reverb Expanded Plugin.
