Metal Plate

- I/0 POSITION: Both left and right inputs and outputs can be freely positioned on the metal plate. Greater distance between them results in dispersed transients akin to a spring reverb. Positioning near the edges results in a more thin, nasal sound. Positioning close to center results in a more full sound.

- MATERIAL: select Steel, Gold, Silver, Titanium or Aluminum, each type of metal has a dramatic effect on the decay, experiment with different types of source material

- AREA: from 0.3-6.0m (expressed in steel equivalent), larger values result in higher modal density

- ASPECT: from .05-20, a more square aspect creates an even sound, smaller and longer aspects result in metallic "chirped" transients similar to a spring reverb

- ANISOTROPY: from 0-1%, introduces small defects in the metal resulting in slight, variable detuning of the modes

- TENSION: simulate tension applied to the metal plate, higher values raise the frequency of lower modes

Decay

- DAMPER: from 200ms-infinity, the primary decay control simulates a rigid porous material pressed against the plate to reduce decay time

- FRICTION: multiplier, simulates thermo-elastic loss

- AIR: multiplier, simulates the decay effect of air radiation on the plate

Note: all dampening controls are fitted with sweepable cutoff frequencies allowing natural results
