SCOPE REVERB PLUG-IN
Digital Audio Software RMX160
General Information
igital Audio Software RMX160 is supposed to model the AMS Neve RMX-16
Features
Usually most reverb units have many parameters to fit every kind of application. This one only features a few simple parameters.
The most important are knobs for size, time and pre delay. There is also a 3-parametric EQ to alter the reverb for different tasks and to change the sound for different room characteristics.
For further manipulation of the reverb decay there is also a modulation and a dynamic section.
But if you are searching for early reflection type parameters you won`t find them here. There is no early reflection modelling in this algorithm or at least it is not split away from the late reverb.
Usage and Soundquality
This plug-in is really easy to use.
There is no matrix of 30 parameters you have to fiddle around. You just set size and time parameter for the right room impression, after this you change the EQ to make it fit to the sound. Very nice!
To my ears it sounds like a nice vintage reverb but a high class one. Very clean reverb with the right amount of “air”. (the difference between a high class reverb and a low class one that is just fully damped to sound cleaner).
Without using the EQ the RMX160 can sometimes also sound a little bit filthy with the higher frequencies (almost every reverb does this). But there is an EQ for damping, so this is no problem at all.
The sonic soundquality really is very nice. This reverb does generate a wide lush space and it is also very realistic sounding. So I would suggest it for post production and classical music also.
The reverb doesn`t sound “cloudy” like the Lexicon reverbs. ( I also like them)
Lsiten how the flute is improved by the reverb. When you listen to the fadeout you get an opinion of the vintage character of this plug-in. It is a little bit ringy here and there, but in a special and nice way
Flute_dry
RMX160_10seconds 50%_wet
One of its strength is reverberating drums without noticeable bad artefacts.
No flutter because of early reflections and also nice space. There are three examples with different decay length.
Drums_dry
RMX160_decay=0,5sec size=1 50%wet
RMX160_decay=7sec size=1 50%wet
RMX160_decay=20sec size=5 50%wet
Here are some further examples, so you get a feeling of the sonic qualities of this reverb plug-in
Messerscharf_dry
RMX160_decay=4sec size=1 50%wet
Didgeridoo_dry
RMX160 decay=1sec size=5_70%wet
India_dry
RMX160 decay=17sec size=10_50%wet
Drums_dry
RMX160 decay=7sec size=5_50%wet
Rolling_snares_dry
RMX160 decay=1sec size=1_50%wet
Vocal_dry
RMX160 decay=4sec size=10_50%wet
Zupf_dry
RMX160 decay=7sec size=5_100%wet
Finally some “dead” dry drum machine sounds through the RMX
Electronic drums_dry
RMX160 decay=10sec size=7_60%wet
Conclusion
This plug-in works just fine on every kind of sounds and has its own character. It is useful for many tasks, where the special “air” and real life feeling is important.
It sounds totally different compared to the Masterverb Pro which is more flexible and features early reflection modelling but does not give you this “wide opened lush reverb”.
I recommend this one for everything, but especially theatre themes, soundtracks, classical music and ambient sounds, because it does not sound like a lifeless room.
