MDV-II & MCV-I

Temecula DSP MDV-II & MCV-I

The studio workhorse that defined affordable digital effects × 2 and the bedroom producer's secret weapon.

There are two types of producers: those who think this reverb sounds "too colored," and those who refuse to mix a track without it. We meticulously recreated this cult-classic unit because sometimes, perfection is boring. You use it when you want your synth to float in space, your guitars to smear into a lush nostalgic wash, and your mix to have a sound that's unmistakably its own.

Features

Seven Categories of Classic Effects

All 100 factory programs are included, organized into seven categories that cover every effect type the original hardware offered:

• Reverb: Small, medium, and large rooms from bright to dark, plus extra-long ambient decays.
• Gate: Slow and fast gated reverbs for punchy drums and percussive sources.
• Reverse: Reverse reverbs and regenerated reverse effects for atmospheric swells.
• Flange: Triggered flanges and stereo panning flanges with triangle-wave LFOs.
• Chorus: Light to deep chorus with sine-wave modulation for thickening and shimmer.
• Delay: Fixed delays from 35ms to 460ms, multi-tap, and regenerated echo up to 4 seconds.
• EFX: Stereo generation, thickening, multi-tap ambience, and frozen flange.

Dual DASP-16 Engine

The MDV-II goes beyond the original hardware with two mathematically modeled DASP-16 chips running in series. Unit A feeds into Unit B, so you can stack a reverse reverb into a chorus, run a gated verb into a delay, or chain any two of the 100 programs together. Each unit has independent program selection, mix, and bypass controls.

Pan-Spread Stereo

Each unit has its own pan control. With both pans centered, the signal runs as a pure series chain — you hear the combined result of A into B. Spread the pans apart and the two stages separate in the stereo field, letting you place each effect independently. It's a smooth crossfade from stacked mono to wide stereo.

Faithful DASP-16 Emulation

The heart of the MIDIVerb II is the custom DASP-16 (Digital Audio Signal Processor) chip designed by Keith Barr. The MDV-II faithfully recreates this chip, reproducing the signal flow of all 100 factory programs at the original 31,250 Hz internal sample rate. Every program produces the same output as the original hardware — including its characteristic warmth and bandwidth-limited charm.

Vintage Mode

Toggle vintage mode with the fuse icon in the toolbar to drop the internal engine from 44.1 kHz down to the original hardware's native 31,250 Hz sample rate. This lowers the Nyquist ceiling to ~15.6 kHz and stretches reverb tails and delay times to match the original unit, reproducing its characteristic darker, softer tone.
