Hello,

I have a 3DSP Scope (Luna) card with 5.1 software. I'm preparing for an project that will be recorded at 96kHz. No matter how I set project routing, there is never enough DSP power for reverb effects that are included in 5.1. So if you know some Reverb effects, freeware or commercial, that doesn't squeeze out much DSP juice - please recommend here! Also Plate units etc.

Cheers!

Here's one that's great for many chores and lite on DSP power.
You should also know Celmo has a mixer called EZ Keyboard mixer where this effect is built in, with the choice of disabling it also.
It's an excellent little mixer.
Here's a real percussive B3 sound that helps demo the effect even though it's a weak mp3, you can still tell how it would sound in a better enviroment.

Celmo's stuff is really cool, love his Tape Echo, very resource effective...
while we're at it: it emulates a rotating drum (with the magetic layer on the surface) and unlike a true tape, these units may reach tremendous speed... which in fact changes the 'single' events into a rather dense something between tube resonance and room response.
Just crank it to 1200 or even 2000 bpm :D
Lots of variations by selecting heads and their respective distance.
As Celmo's devices feature a rather 'dark' tone (aka vintage) they make nice preprocessors for native reverbs, which usually come a bit more 'clear' or 'high' pronounced.
One of my favourites is the Tape Delay Emulator fed through the IKM CSR Reverbs, seriously... ;)

cheers, Tom
