LA COMUNIDAD REAKTOR

DESCRIPTION

This is my attempt at a digital recreation of my Ursa Major StarGate 323 Reverb.
The ensemble is based on over 18 months of RnD, which included detailed analysis of the actual rom data, a low level emulation of the internal digital logic as well as modeling the frequency response of the analog filters.

Based on the design of the SST-282, the StarGate 323 offers eight different reverb modes, ranging from tight plates to gigantic spaces. Each mode offers a set of custom decay times, including a zero-decay setting. The zero-decay setting disables the reverb tail so that only the early reflections can be heard. This creates interesting stereo widening effects, which vary with each reverb mode. Pre-Delay is adjustable from 0-320ms and can also be used in conjunction with the zero-decay setting to create slap-back effects.

This project is in no way affiliated or endorsed by Ursa Major/AKG/Christopher Moore.
