Slate Digital VMR Virtual Mix Rack
 
Imagine having a customizable virtual rack of the most authentic mix processors all on the screen in front of you. You'll have the power to mix faster, more efficiently, and with the analog modeled sound that you've come to expect from Slate Digital.
The Modules
FG-N EQ: This gorgeous sounding equalizer is modeled after one of the most classic British designs in the history of production. And we've modeled every little nuance of it! It's amazing how even with normal use, there is a beautiful saturation in the filters, as well as subtle harmonics that give it a unique character. You can use the line input to drive it all the way to a fat distortion. The EQ's circuit path has sweet tone without even moving the filter knobs! This classic processor sounds amazing on EVERYTHING! Also stay tuned for the preamp emulation of the FG-N that will be used with our upcoming Virtual Microphone System hardware!
FG-S EQ: This classic equalizer is modeled off of the famous mixing desk EQ, and it is the ultimate workhorse. Again, we found that this EQ adds little bits of harmonics that help shape the mid bands and gives them an aggressive sound on drums, bass, and guitars when boosted heavily. The hi-pass filter allows you to remove the low end 'gunk' from your tracks, without affecting the rest of the frequencies. It's an amazing EQ with all the quality and tone of the classic mix desk it was modeled after.
FG-401 Compressor: This compressor is a hybrid of some of the most popular VCA channel compressors that are used in modern audio. It has the ability to be quite the chameleon by offering TWO unique sounding circuit paths, and by enabling its ultra deep and fat sounding transformer. It sounds good on everything you can put it through and will ooze analog goodness. It'll also have a ton of presets to get you started.
FG-116 Compressor: "This was the most difficult compressor I've ever modeled" said Slate CTO Fabrice Gabriel. The FG-116 is a dead on recreation of the classic American FET compressor. No expense was spared to recreate every, and we really mean EVERY, little nuance that makes this compressor so special. This classic compressor is amazing on everything and is certainly a favorite on lead vocals and drums.
And in typical Slate fashion, we'll put our audio where our marketing is and prove the authenticity of each unit by doing lots of hardware vs software comparisons! The reason the VMR has taken so long is because we will only release this product when it is indistinguishable from the originals. And we are proud to say that this has happened, so we're wrapping up the final programming and expect a release within the next few weeks.
Other Information:
- VMR Modules will be highly CPU efficient. You'll be able to run TONS of them on your native machine without the need for any additional DSP hardware.
- VMR Modules have no latency in their processing, thanks to new internal 64bit processing and proprietary oversampling techniques. This means that you can track through them with your DAW on low buffer with only 1.5ms roundtrip latency. No third party application needed for tracking with plugins!
- We've got LOTS of new VMR modules in store. And here is our promise: They will sound awesome, help you make great sounding music, and they will be AFFORDABLE. Like.. very affordable. Just because you want to use great mix processors doesn't mean you have to go broke. To get four analog modeled processors from our competitors would cost you $1200!!!

PCM NATIVE REVERB INTERFACE
Each algorithm can be run in either mono, stereo, or a combination of the two. We’ve taken the time to add Input and Output Meters in addition to a graphical EQ section for easy adjustment of both early and late reflections. The most noticeable feature, however, is center screen in a multi-dimensional realtime display. There are three screens to choose from, all showing different frequency stages of the algorithm to help you shape your sound.
The user interface displays nine of the most logical parameters for customization, it also enables you to transition deeper into the algorithm to edit the full matrix of parameters. Compare your custom preset to the original and save it off once you have the perfect sound. You’ll also have the ability to load that preset into a different DAW.
The wealth of algorithms and presets will enable you to envelop your vocals and instruments with the musical ambiance of panoramically wonderful spaces. The PCM Native Reverb Bundle is a complete collection of the finest reverbs, now with all the flexibility of a multi-platform native software plug-in.

My Lexicon PCM Native Reverb plug-ins are essential players in my digital arsenal... They sound absolutely amazing.
Val Garay
The sounds of the PCM Native Reverb Plug-In Bundle are classic Lexicon – rich, deep and enveloping, and they can elevate a mix from being merely good to being absolutely captivating. In addition, the ability to tweak parameters to get exactly the sound quality you want, and then be able to save those settings and recall them instantly is a powerful advantage.
Andy Zulla
The new Lexicon Native reverb plug in now delivers all that lush Lexicon depth and fullness that nothing else can even come close to. Back again are the days of just pushing up the fader and having the reverb sound instantly great without even trying!!
Barry Rudolph
I have no other reverb, plug-in or hardware, with this much versatility--there are many great, usable factory preset reverb sounds and, at the same time, "deep as you want" intense programmability for modifying or designing your own unique reverberant treatments. With its huge collection of specialized reverb algorithms for great sounding Chambers, Concert Halls, Halls, Plates, Random Halls, Rooms, and Vintage Plates, The PCM Native Reverb Bundle is worthy enough to be my main reverb and it is well used in all my mixes.
Dave Dobbyn
I'm amazed at the Lexicon PCM Native Reverb. On installing the demo, my little studio instantly became a spacecraft. As soon as I heard the default vocal plate I just had to sing & shout. I can hear great reverbs that remind me of the best records I've heard. This bundle takes you there, from classic ambiences to deep space. Such a wealth of beautifully crafted ambiences in one plug-in is simply, elegantly superb! The excellent, friendly interface and easy parameter control make it an integral instrument for me. I love the ability to use discreet reverbs simultaneously and to customize settings comprehensively on-the-fly.
David Rideau
The Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Plug-In Bundle exploits the company's fantastic collection of legendary digital reverb. I've been waiting to have access to their algorithms on this platform and the bundle does not disappoint! Dense, deep and wide is not how I would usually describe plug-in verbs but Lexicon somehow pulls it off. The display is awesome, and the parameter selection gives you everything you would expect from a pro piece of gear. It's official: the Lexicon PCM Reverb Plug is being placed, not only in, but on the top of my mixing toolbox!
DJ Swivel
The Lexicon PCM suite is the only plug-in reverb I can put up against a $20,000 hardware reverb – and it’ll hold its own.
Dru Masters
I've been using the PCM Native Reverb Bundle as my main, generally my only, reverb on everything. That includes the new series 6 of The Apprentice scheduled for the autumn, and the UK version of the massive US hit Undercover Boss. This is the plug-in I've been waiting for for years. The glorious, smooth, warm Lexicon sound, without the hardware, I can't imagine ever needing another reverb!
George Seara
With the new Lexicon Native Reverbs, it's the next generation - the presets coupled with the ease of fine tuning is what makes these things rawk! And the recall is done!
Jamie Siegel
The native PCM plugin is killing!! The fact that you guys (Lexicon) were able to really nail the vibe of the PCM96 hardware AND allow me to run lots of instances per session is a no-brainer.
John Mitchell
For vocal verbs, incredible drum plates and beautifully realistically accurate environments for string instruments there really is only one choice, the Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Plug-in.
Ken "Duro" Ifill
I can tell when the Lexicon plug-in is being used. No other reverb is as transparent.
Ken Lewis
Finally someone built a software reverb that sounds 100% as good as the best hardware reverbs. This is my new goto Verb, Lexicon has a new Classic.
Larry Williams
The new Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Bundle is a pleasure to use in every way and , of course, it has that ultra-smooth non-digital sounding reverb for which Lexicon has always been known.
Sarah Sharp and Andrea Perry
I can tell such a difference in the way my voice sounds with a Lexicon reverb. I’m way more proud of the mixes that use the PCM plug-ins. – Sarah Sharp
Steve Bailey
I love it when a company raises the bar on what's possible in a plugin, and creates a new "go-to". Performance, acoustical integrity, and ease of use, makes the PCM plug my first choice on my Reverb Aux's.
Steve Levine
The Lexicon PCM Plug-In is so easy to use. With every track you work on, you can customize the sound and adjust everything from source reflections to the room size much easier than you could with the hardware, and it recalled as part of the track.
Steve Pageot
When I started using the Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Plug-In Bundle I could not believe what I was hearing throughout my entire mix. Every effect from the Delays to the Large Plates had me saying, WOW, OMG, NOOO, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
