Decision Day

After research into this project, and looking at variouse different possibilities, including building a synthesizer, I have decided to build a plate reverb unit. But with a difference, im aiming to attach reeds to the back of the plate to see what effect this will have on the sound of the unit. Looking ahead im expecting the reeds to act like an amplifyer, for the frequencey at which they resonnate. But we'll wate and see.

The next stage is more in depth reasech, ive done some reading and now understand the basic concepts of how a plate reverb works, and i have a general idea of what materials will be best.

After some more in depth research im planning on making a small portotype, but with out the reeds, just to test the effectivness of the unit itself 1st, plus also il beable to compare the effectivness of the reeds and what effect they have more clearly if a have a standard unit to test the results against.

Stay Tuned.
