Capture the lush, blooming tones of the legendary plate reverb! We harnessed the latest sound modeling technology to recreate the sounds of six unique plate reverb units used in famous recording studios. These units lent their rich, highly diffused sound to countless classic songs from late 1950s to this day. Now with Zodiak Gemini, these unmistakable reverb tones are yours to reawaken. Organized into U.K. and U.S. models, each of the six plates features unique attack, density, diffusion, and tonal characteristics. The differences among signal path components, as well as their age and state of repair, have been carefully modeled to impart a unique ambiance to each plate. The wide selection of plates complement a variety of instruments and musical styles, as some plates offer darker tones with well defined attack and early bloom, whereas others feature a brighter response with more even diffusion. Each plate can be driven by a transparent preamp. At the same time, simply turning up the Drive knob will add a well balanced, “valve-driven” musical saturation that helps fatten up the reverb by altering its harmonic characteristics and build up, reminiscent of a well known studio technique. The high and low cut filters at the input stage help change the focus of the reverb signal, while allowing one to replicate the famed “Abbey” plate reverb trick. Either filter can be switched to the “Mark II” mode for capturing the unique slope of the custom preamp module found on a select few of the real world units. In addition, there is an option of three input contours to choose from that alter the presence of the reverb signal. Reverb length is controlled via a modeled mechanical “Damper Gap” parameter. In addition to variable pre delay, stereo width and pan, Zodiak Gemini features special modulation parameters to further tune the reverberation characteristics. At subtle levels, modulation can be used to add an “organic” quality to the diffusion. At more exaggerated settings, reverb modulation becomes a unique effect on its own, adding chorus or vibrato flavor to the plate output that can be combined with the original signal for sound reinforcement or other interesting results. The inclusion of a custom, three band output EQ unlocks further control over reverb tonality. This unit features a wide range adjustable frequency at each band, as well as 18dB boost/cut, enabling precise control over the signal spectrum. Zodiak Gemini is designed to work as a highly efficient AUv3 plugin across iPad, iPhone and Apple Silicon computers. Over 110 presets are included, featuring a wide variety of reverb patches suitable for different instruments and mixes. Other advanced features include unlimited patch saving and sharing, MIDI learn and recall, and more.
