UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 235 - Chapter 19: EMT 140 Plate Reverb
EMT 140 Controls
The EMT 140 interface is an amalgam of controls found at the plate amplifier
itself and the remote damper controls, plus a few DAW-friendly controls that
we added for your convenience. The GUI incorporates the original look and
feel of those controls, and utilizes that look for the DAW-only controls.
Note: When adjusting parameters, keyboard shortcuts are available for fine,
coarse, and other control methods. See “Shortcuts” on page 92 .
Input Filter The Input Filter is a dedicated equalizer that is used to re-
duce low frequency content in the reverb. On hardware
plate systems, this setting is rarely modified because it is
found at the plate amplifier unit itself and is not easily ac-
cessed from the control room.
EMT 140 contains two types of filters: original EMT elec-
tronics and Martech electronics which was/is a common
plate system retrofit.
In the modeled source units at The Plant, plates A and B use
the EMT electronics while Plate C utilizes the Martech elec-
tronics. In EMT 140, you can use either filter type with any
of the three available plates.
The original EMT filter (indicated by black text) is a cut filter
centered at 80 Hz, with three available levels of attenua-
tion: –4 dB, –10 dB, and –16 dB. In controls mode, these values are prefaced
with an “E” to designate the original EMT electronics model.
The Martech filter (indicated by red text) is a shelf filter, therefore all frequen-
cies below the frequency are reduced. Six shelving frequencies are available:
90 Hz, 125 Hz, 180 Hz, 250 Hz, 270 Hz, and 360 Hz. In controls mode,
these values are prefaced with an “M” to designate the aftermarket Martech
electronics model.
Note: There is one Input Filter per plug-in instance. Each plate model (A, B, C)
within a preset cannot have a unique Input Filter value.
