    The choices you want when purchasing a Reverb

    Finally, a good way to give everyone using Pulsar/SCOPE the choice as to how many delays are in use per reverb, per project -- since it could be as little as 4PCI channels that make the difference in loading a reverb.

    Choice of Reverberation Size and Quality

    To get the highest quality reverb possible on your system, simply start with the highest number of delays per reverb, and work your way down until you find one that works in your project, and suits your audio needs.

    On MY test system the maximum is between 65-75 delays max (depending on heat). Everyone's computer is different -- even giving different performance between 2 identical computers. I cannot say that a VIA chipset will be able to do the same as a BX chipset, because on test machines the VIA chipset would give PCI ERRORS long before a BX system would.

    To top it all off, some people put reverb higher on the priority list -- so size won't matter as long as the sound quality is worth it.

    for the majority of users the PT2012,PT2016,PT2020,PT2024 will be the ones you want depending on what version of each, you could use less then 1 DSP chip to just under 3 DSP chips. As you can see, I spared no PCI channels/DSP when building these reverbs the bigger versions eat DSP and PCI channels like candy.

      Simply put: I give you something no one else would!


    And from comments from end users as well as email from people trying the DEMOS they sound as good or better then any other reverb available for the Pulsar/SCOPE platform.

    Understanding Version Numbers

    The sizes are:
  • L: Full featured reverb
  • M: You loose the colour contour filters
  • S: Perfect size for fitting into that mix when the big one won't

    Special versions:
  • SM: Stereo IN/Stereo OUT mono Reverb
  • PTSR: Surround Reverbs(!)

    As you see there are many levels to the PT family of reverbs.

    Specifications for each Version

    The L Version:
  • Realtime preview from any input.
  • True Stereo Design with Panning
  • Lo and Hi Pass filters switchable on/off
  • Tone Control
  • Damp control with the ability to have individual control over each tap's frequency
  • Stereo/Linkable Pre-delay upto 682.7ms
  • The ability to set each tap delay upto 85.31ms
  • The ability to set both the L/R allpass delays upto 85.31ms
  • The ability to add 6 direct reflections per side with control over delay time as well as gain and pan per delay (Great for bringing back some of the PUNCH!)
  • 4Band Parametric EQ with readouts so you know what your doing
  • 1Band Enchance EQ for that touch up (Note: This is before the colour contour filters)
  • Density controls for both the Lo and the Hi with Gain +/- 12dB
  • Softer control sound VERY nice on anything
  • Contour Filters to give even more realism to the sound including Difuse control (very cool)
  • ER Spread for both the Early and Late Reflections again a VERY nice effect.
  • Gain controls for both the L/R side taps and Room Size controls!
  • Input Gain control
  • Decay Control
  • Reverb Out gain
  • Dryout gain
  • Use as stand alone or as AUX in a mix
  • Looks good on any monitor
  • Fits any rack
  • Impress friends and family

    The M versions lose:
  • The Color Contour Filters

    The S versions lose:
  • The colour contour filters
  • The Direct Reflections
  • And the ER Spreader
  • ...As well as certain internal MDLs.
  • A BARE reverb

    The SM versions:
  • All SM'S are the S versions
  • These are simple to use
  • Stereo IN - mono - Stereo OUT

    I may also create monoIN stereo out versions if enough people ask. All SM versions are the exact same as a S version only half the TAP delays, but still having a stereo summed input.

    PTSR (Surround Reverbs):
  • Features and SOUND to make you drool.
  • More information coming sooon!
