The new version offers redesigned GUI with a brand new resize feature and new presets management.

Like the original PianoVerb it creates its unique sound with twelve resonant filters that mimic the behavior of piano strings.

The ability to transpose, tune and detune the set of strings allow you to set up PianoVerb2 to deliver a wide range of reverberations ranging from traditional wide spread reverb to unique and unusual resonances.

With the addition of a brand new modulation section and the ability to set up multiple settings of time and damping and decay freezing (via A/B comparison function) this little plug-in delivers amazing options for creative use.

Add to that some other amazing new additions such as:

• High pass filter section
• Independent dry/wet controls
• Reverb tail freeze control

With these features you can see just how PianoVerb2 has become a truly comprehensive and unique algorithmic reverb.

Whenever you want to add some natural resonance to a weak piano track, vitalize your leading guitar with a bit of sustain or simply add a touch of a nice reverb to the selected track, PSP PianoVerb2 can do the job!

The plug-in engine has been rewritten and redesigned from scratch in order to improve the sound and take full advantage of the optimizations offered by modern CPUs.

The enhanced user interface improves the experience of both sound designers creating their own soundscapes as well as everyday users who aren’t as fond of looking under the hood.

Remember, don’t tell your neighbors about your experience. While legal in the US, many states have laws regulating the possession, sale and distribution of N2O – some reports say it is highly addictive!

PSP auralControl (AAX for ProTools only; AU & VST3 coming later this year) is an essential tool for multichannel tracking, mixing and mastering.

Its aim is to individually adjust level, polarity, bandwidth and timing for each individual channel in the multichannel set.

Predefined industry standard multichannel formats, grouping capability, and displaying all features on a single screen makes the PSP auralControl a time saver in a virtually every surround project. Whether dealing with imbalances in the multichannel live stem, addressing problems with a multichannel reverb track, not wanting to limit the spectrum content of the LFE or ceiling speakers, or adjusting the center channel timing and level in reference to left and right – PSP auralControl offers a straight-forward solution to these problems.

We designed this plug-in to make our friends’ lives easier. Special thanks to Thor Fienberg for initial idea, inspiration and help from the beginning of the project.

Typical Uses

• Re-balancing multichannel stems.
• Monitoring of multichannel buses: you have peak meters for each channel and can mute or solo desired channels on multichannel buses – for example to check SIDEs on a multichannel reverb send.
• Gain staging for multichannel buses: you can control the level of each channel with ease – for example bring up REARs on effect sends, reduce LFE.
• Simple multichannel operations: you have direct access to basic HPF and LPF filters for each channel – for example to roll-off LFE with LPF or to leave only “air” on TOPs with HPF.
• Advanced effect operations: you have access to a Delay section to setup unique depths for multichannel mixes – for example you can put a multi-mono instance of PSP 2445 on a multichannel reverb send, creating a type of “big monophonic reverb.” With PSP auralControl you can roll off LFE, set different frequency ranges and levels for FRONTs, REARs, SIDEs and TOPs and set different pre-delays for each channel group to produce a full-sounding multichannel reverb.
• Advanced level riding: you have access to channel groups and record automation with relative or reversed linking (reversed linking – for example bringing up FRONT levels while reducing REAR levels).
• Advanced Mid-Side operations: you have access to Mid-Side processing of Stereo tracks.

Features

• Level control faders with Peak Meters on each channel.
• Adjustable Delay Time, High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters.
• Mute and Solo buttons on each channel.
• All parameters may be controlled in Predefined or Custom Groups, or Individually for each channel in the multichannel set.

PSP 2445 EMT is a reverb processor plug-in inspired by two legendary early digital age reverberators: the EMT® 244 and the EMT® 245.

PSP thoroughly researched how to bring the specific features of those simple, yet very musical sounding reverbs to life as a plug-in.

We then improved from the originals with a handy set of parameters to control details of the sound and mix the reverb not available in the original hardware. PSP 2445 is capable of processing using one selected engine or both of them simultaneously.

The reverb algorithms implemented in PSP 2445 are based on original algorithms designed by Dr. Barry Blesser (one of the grandfathers of the digital audio revolution). Thanks to Dr. Barry’s extensive consultation and support, our algorithms sound as good as the originals and plug-in could be officially endorsed by EMT Studiotechnik GmbH.
