| 224 vs PCM96 plate on drums
Here is a simple (and certainly dated sounding) repeated drum machine figure demonstrating the oldest Lexicon and the newest Lexicon reverb's plate algo. This example also has some EQ and a little Bus Compression via the Alan Smart C2.
I tried to match the reverb settings as carefully as possible.
What I love about the 224 is how aggressive and compelling it is. It's nearly frightening!
The SONY reverbs from the 1980s have a bit of this, too.
