I deleted Little Plate long ago. I get far more use out of Lustrous Plates.

I'll demo this when it's out, but... I don't often use a lot of plate and LPS seems to cover my needs. To date, Liquidsonics has also been releasing new products and upgrades, unlike Soundtoys.

I don't have lustrous plates, it looks fantastic. I'm probably not going to buy it though, and I have nothing but respect Liquidsonics. I have Reverberate 3 and, IIRC, their EQ which I never use. I just haven't purchased more of their tools. Reverb is such a taste centric thing that it's hard to judge. Luscious plates won't work in Soundtoys rack. I don't always like to use aggregators like that, but since I have the bundle, it does get some use.

I just fainted.

Something new from Soundtoys after all these years - and even something really nice it seems!

I also had my issues with iLok, but during the last 5-6 years it's completely invisible for me. But yeah - resizable UIs is a must these days. Even if you just have a few selectable sizes. Dang - even the Waves horrid upscaling is better than nothing.

It was more or less what we expected though. This plugin was teased/hinted at for a while by Soundtoys reps when asked about anything new coming - eg "Well, we often have a 'Little' plugin, which we then follow up with a bigger, more feature rich version, and we only have a Little Plate, and it's not in EffectRack", "No, there is no reverb in Effect Rack, but it's certainly something we'd like to do" etc etc.

I'm not sure why it took so long (even the current reps said it took a *long* time in various demos), even considering the effects of finding, buying, shipping, installing and modelling a bunch of fairly sizeable plates in their studios...

I do like Little Plate a lot, but I have so many reverb options now I'm a bit oversaturated for reverbs, and I'm not sure this new one is really going to add much of value - even though it does look nice... (and presumably sounds nice too, given Little Plate's pedigree).

Nice to see Soundtoys finally stepping up the plate

Glad to see Soundtoys back in the game, but a new plate reverb is a huge meh for me personally. First off, I have way too many reverb plugins already, and a hard enough time choosing between them.

But even if that weren't the case-- little plate never wowed me to begin with. It's just one among a pile of plate reverbs, and I always preferred the sound of Valhalla Plate to it when I specifically wanted Plate Reverb flavors. Easy pass for me on this one. Hope they have some new stuff up their sleeves in coming months /years.

best plate is the gold plate from Kush, nothing sounds so amazing plate wise

Yeah, but that's almost an unfair comparison. All reverbs from Valhalla are amazing

Very underwhelming… I don’t really need another reverb, I’m more than covered by Valhalla, Lexicon PCM and Reaktor stuff. I’ll probably upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4 though as I don’t think I’ve had to purchase anything from them since V4…

I upgrade when they get resizable guis :p
But happy to see them active!

It was good they did VST3 as a free update and this is an option...a lot would have bundled it together.

Like others have said, I dint really need another plate reverb but I will probably upgrade at some point to support the developers and get the new pre-sets...this added to the 'rack' is very convenient.
