With the decay time set to infinity, Little Plate’s reverb tails never fade away, giving you very atmospheric, endless reverb timbres. Besides the classic ones, you get 8, 16, 32, up to infinity. Unlike the original (5 seconds), Soundtoys pushed that number in new areas by adding new decay time options. This twist can be found in the reverberation time. But it also has additional functionality, making it a Soundtoys plugin. According to Soundtoys, they captured the gorgeous sound and vibe of this studio classic and turned it into a fun and musically inspiring plugin. Little Plate is a plate reverb plugin inspired by the original EMT 140. In November, you can get the excellent Little Plate as a free download. So minimal and straightforward from the control side, it could be described as a one-tick pony-like plate reverb. The LittlePlate is a very successful, simple plate reverb from the same dev team.
But plate reverb is not a new topic for the developers. In May, Soundtoys released SuperPlate, a flexible plate reverb with various modeled types and unique sonic shapers.
Throughout November 2023, Soundtoys is giving away its Little Plate reverb plugin (mac/win), regularly $99, as a free download.
