The Algorithms

Plate
To get some idea of the types of sounds and effects that can be created with
the Plate algorithm, be sure to listen to and experiment with presets built on
this algorithm. (See Chapter 5: The Presets.)
The Plate algorithm is a reverb simulator that produces reverb effects with the
characteristic sound of metal-plate reverberators. It has high initial diffusion and
a relatively bright, colored sound. Its effect is designed to be heard as part of the
music, enhancing and thickening the source material. The Plate algorithm is
often the best choice for percussion, and also works well with other types of
source material such as acoustic guitars and piano.
