Description

PSP DelayPack consists of: Lexicon PSP 42 and PSP 84.

PSP 42

Lexicon PSP 42 is high-quality digital stereo delay and phrase sampler plug-in based on the legendary Lexicon PCM 42 processor famous for its distinctive sound and unique concept. Lexicon PSP 42 has been carefully designed to accurately reproduce the flexibility and warmth of this renowned classic. This has been accomplished by incorporating precise tape saturation algorithm and a delay line operating with variable sampling rate which simulates physical properties of vintage tape machine delays. The plug-in has been designed with consideration to preserve maximum signal quality at every processing stage.

Features

• High quality signal processing algorithms,
• Up to 9600 ms of delay time depending on internal sampling frequency,
• Continuous control of delay time,
• Tight synchronization to the host tempo and its changes,
• Tape saturation simulation based on the algorithm used in the line of our mastering processors,
• Low pass filter for high frequency absorption modeling,
• Modulation section with three different modulation signal sources (sinus, square, envelope detector) mixed in any proportions,
• Phrase sampler capability,
• Parameter filtration and on-the-fly cross-fades for smooth and click-free operation,
• Support for sampling rates of up to 192kHz,
• MIDI and VST automation,
• Logic Control support.
• Library of presets

Applications

The Lexicon PSP 42 is primarily intended for processing individual tracks within a mix. It can be productively used to add superior sounding delay-based effects to solo instruments and vocals as well as to simulate vintage delay with tape saturation, high frequency absorption and variable tape speed. Tempo locking and handy modulation section make Lexicon PSP 42 an essential tool for experimenting with drum loops and other rhythmic patterns. Variable delay line sampling rate allows to generate good sounding low-fi effects as well as out-of-this-world sounds. Short delay times, pitch modulation and phase inverters reveal Lexicon PSP 42 potentials as a source of vibrant modulation effects such as flanger and doubler. Last but not least Lexicon PSP 42 is a simple ring reverb for a denser output.

PSP 84

The general idea of the Lexicon PSP 42 inspired PSP to design it’s big brother the PSP 84 plug-in. PSP 84 is a high-quality processor, capable of producing a wide variety of delay-based effects. Two independent delay lines operating with variable sampling rate and precise tape saturation algorithm with adjustable gain, allow for convincingly sounding simulation of tape delay, including all the exciting effects resulting from tape speed instability. A filtration section consisting of three 2nd order switchable resonant filter types can be used to process input, feedback or wet signal. The adjustable slope of the filter ranges from a gentle curve, which is useful for simulating high frequency absorption typical for tape delay and wet signal equalization to an extremely steep curve with a high cutoff frequency peak, making all the wild wah-wah and resonance effects easily available. Delay line sampling rate and filter cutoff can be modulated by any of the 5 LFO waveforms that are automatically synchronized to the sequencer tempo or envelope follower with adjustable sensitivity and attack/release. Moreover, the PSP 84 contains the fully functional reverb unit, with simplified settings carefully tuned to exactly reproduce the sound of classic spring and plate reverberators.

Features

• High quality, unique signal processing algorithms,
• Up to 10 seconds of delay time per channel (depending on internal sampling frequency),
• Continuous control over the delay time with little harmonic distortion,
• Cross-channel feedback and independent channel settings with channel link mode,
• Tape saturation simulation with adjustable gain based on the algorithm used in the line of our mastering processors,
• Modulation section consisting of LFO and envelope follower mixed in any proportions,
• 5 click-free LFO waveforms and variable LFO channel phase offset,
• LP, BP, HP filter with adjustable cutoff and resonance,
• Flexible filter routing capabilities,
• Vintage reverberation module for faithful simulation of spring and plate reverb characteristics,
• Parameter filtration for smooth and click-free operation,
• Support for sampling rates of up to 192kHz,
• MIDI and VST automation of all parameters,
• Logic Control support,
• Pentium IV optimization,
• 60 presets for easy start.

Applications

The PSP 84 is primarily meant for applying to individual tracks within a mix and experimenting with drum and synth loops. The included presets reveal its huge potential in processing vocal, guitar and bass tracks. Though it can be succesfully used for adding classic sounding delay, its capabilities go far beyond that. The PSP 84's independent channel settings and cross-channel feedback allow for creating animated delay effects that are more spacial and cut better through the mix than a simple center-panned delay. Resonant filters and a modulation section that synchronizes to the host tempo make it possible to create superb auto-wah-wah effects, warm smoky dub sweeps, evolving ambient textures, as well as to easily shape the wet signal's spectral contents. The PSP 84 can create both pristine clean sounding echoes or degenerate the signal to great extent - all depending on your needs -, thanks to the variable internal sampling rate allowing the pitch-twist effects, rich vocal doublers, flangers and unsurpassed detune effects to be achieved. Guitarists that are not satisfied with dry and cold sounding tracks recorded using direct-boxes will appreciate saturation algorithm, great for adding mild overdrive and harmonic contents enrichment. Last but not least, the unique reverberation unit allows for adding space and warmth that most of the digital reverbs lack.
