Valley Plateau

Valley Plateau is a lush plate reverb rack extension for Reason based on the famous Dattorro (1997) design, and is designed to make a dry, lifeless patch sound lush, deep and spacious. However, unlike other reverberators, Valley Plateau attempts to go beyond, providing a wide variety of control combinations and options.

This is an authorised port of the popular module for the VCV Rack ecosystem.

1.0.1 FREE UPDATE

Bug Fixes:

• “Predelay CV Sensitivity” switch was inverted (so 0.5 was swapped with unity)
  NOTE: This will only affect saves or patches if you were varying the “PreD CV” Input with a CV.
  If so, just toggle the Predelay CV Sensitivity button if you did and want to keep the same sound variation from the CV input as before.

UI Fixes:

• Swapped In and Out positions
• Made the UI lines that join elements together twice the thickness
• Some minor placement tweaks

All of the controls on Plateau have CV inputs available allowing for full automation of all parameters.

Knobs

• Dry & Wet: Control the levels of the original and reverberant signals.
• PreD: Pre-delay. Determines the delay for when the original signal is fed into the reveberator. Ranges from 0 to 500ms.
• Low and High: Input and reverberator filters.
• Size: Sets the overall delay time and apparent ‘size’ of the reverb. Ranges from very short to extremely long.
• Diffusion: Controls how diffused and smeared the reverb is. No diffusion results in audible echoes.
• Decay: Sets the speed at which the signal decays over time. The maximum setting results in a long reverb that evolves over time into a very slowly dying cloud of sound.
• Diffuse Input: Enages the input diffusion stage that pre-diffuses and smears the signal before reverberation. Bypassing the stage sharpens the input signal.
• Tuned Mode: Shortens the delay times and tunes the all-pass filters to 1V/Oct so that the reverb can be ‘played’.

Buttons

• Togl: Toggles the decay of the reverb to infinite so that it will continuously reverberate.
• Mntry: Momentarily sets the decay of the reverb to infinite so that it will continuously reverberate.
• Clear: Purges the reverberator. Useful for creating gated reverb effects, or diminishing complete chaos.

Included Patches

There is a myriad of patches included, contributed by the wonderful community at Reason Talk forums.
