Universal Audio announce 224 plug-in
Universal Audio have added yet another classic studio name to their
arsenal of UAD2 DSP-powered plug-ins: Lexicon. One of the
best-known hardware reverb
manufacturers, Lexicon's first digital reverb was the 224, and it
is this that UA have modelled for their UAD2 platform.
First released in 1978, the 224 is one of the earliest commercially
available digital reverbs, but it is still considered one of the
finest. For the plug-in
recreation, Universal Audio apparently took the latest version of
the 224's software (v4.4) and modelled all eight of its reverb
programs, plus its one
chorus program, including every adjustable parameter. But they
didn't stop at modelling the original's algorithms: they also
emulated its analogue stages (including the input transformers),
and the 224's dated A-D and D-A converters.
The plug-ins UI is based on Lexicon's LARC, the fader-based remote
control for the 224, and it features sliders for bass and mid
reverb time, mid/high crossover
frequency, HF decay time, depth and pre-delay. There are also
program-select buttons, plus a row of buttons that, as far as we
can tell, pertain to the
accuracy of the emulation (no manual was available at the time of
writing, however, so we can't be sure). The switch labelled 'Sys
Noise' might do something like switch off the recreation of the
original's noise floor, while 'Mode Enh' may switch between models
of the different A-D and D-A converters found
on different revisions of the 224. We're still waiting for a copy
of the manual, however, so these last two assumptions are exactly
that! We'll update
this story as soon as we have more information.
