It's just an amazing sounding reverb. Pretty much a fundamental "send" effect on all my patches. So much so that I have a saved template for starting any patch that's just clocked, mindmeld mixer/expander, plateau connected to the mixer as a send, and mixer into audio out. It's always amazing how just a tiny dial turn on the send can turn the most basic bleeps, bloops and bzzts into a beautiful soundscape. It's also great for wierd sounds, too, you touched on the mod section, which gets some trippy wonk, but you can also get cool glitchy sounds by playing with various triggers and gates into the hold and clear inputs. One of my favourite things is to have a rhythmic sound, like a drum (this works great on snare-type percussion), with the pre-delay turned up so it comes in almost like an echo, and then have a trigger set to clear the buffer on the next beat. Another neat effect is to have the hold function on indefinitely and use a vca after the reverb to either smoothly bring it in and out with an lfo or something of the like, creating wind-like swells, or have something rhythmically triggering the vca on and off for percussive type shots. Pair it with an envelope and you can get tons of neat white noise-type sounds to colour your patches with.
Yo Kyle, You're always so solid on these comments! I have almost that exact same template lol. I have a Chronoblob2 auxd as well on mine and I dont have a clock, but now that I'm thinking about it: why do I not have a clock? Added lol. I'm going to try out these effects you mentioned. They sound like they will be awesome! Thanks so much.
@@yourpalrob i used a delay for a bit, but i found i wasn't using it as much as i thought i would, but, totally personal preference, no judgment or anything, I'm just not a big fan of delay as a flavour effect. I prefer to use it as needed for more bombastic obvious trippy echoes and psychadelic glitchy stuff (i was always a fan of 60s/70s rock and the more experimental psych stuff from guys like pink floyd, jimi hendrix, the doors etc, so i guess that rubbed off somewhere). I find when i use delay as a send, it's either too subtle to notice or i overdo it and it gets messy and gets in the way of the melodies, but then, I'm not very good with the drone-ey ambient stuff so each their own in that regard. But much love for the blob regardless!
Yeah I’d hazard you’re about right, Plateau is imo the best of the free reverbs, and by far the best on VCV unless you want to pay money for an impulse convolver that doesn’t suck. Back in the day when I ran most of my work into VCV it was a must-have on ambient patches.
It just sounds good. Oliverb (I prefer to call it Revelie) can do some interesting unnatural reverbs, and the XFX reverb can make a decent small room. Plateau isn't the end all be all reverb, if such a thing exists, but it's versatile, and for real, it sounds good.
Sorry for the late reply. The LFO modulates a detuner that only effects the reverberated signal. Altering the speed and wave form of the LFO alters the rate of pitch change.
🪦 Yeah, no sound example for tuned mode. For anyone reading this comment it sounds like this, "brrrr boooop boop" haha in all honesty tho tuned mode is cool and a loved feature. I need to use it more.

Excellent. Thanks very much.
No problem! I'm glad you liked it @oldbatwit5102 😄
0:32 that melody tho
Clear, informative and effective. Thank you!
realy good
Thank you, @kevinschantalle! ✌️😁
@@yourpalrob np bro how i could get bett in modular
I want an IRL Plateau so bad.
I've been wanting this forever. A IRL eurorack will be an instabuy
Love this module, have been using on almost all of my patches, even used it on guitar through Cardinal (can't afford VCV 2 yet) in Ableton.
I use it with the Cardinal effect plug-in in my DAW. I set up a few presets with different timing and effects. It's been my go-to reverb, so lush.
Merci 👍👍
Thank you for stopping by to check out the video, jhoanp3688.

Yeah, this is good for a free module. Still use Pro R and Valhalla quite a bit.
💯
what does exactly the lfo modulate?
Sorry for the late reply. The LFO modulates a detuner that only effects the reverberated signal. Altering the speed and wave form of the LFO alters the rate of pitch change.
No love for tuned mode 😢
🪦 Yeah, no sound example for tuned mode. For anyone reading this comment it sounds like this, "brrrr boooop boop" haha in all honesty tho tuned mode is cool and a loved feature. I need to use it more.
@@yourpalrob tuned mode is like Rings - it's a voice that sounds okay by itself but sings when given the attention you'd give to any other oscillator.
Except both rings and tuned plateau benefit from a well crafted excitation, which regular oscillators don't need.
