PSP 285
The ultimate creative semi-modular delay machine!
PSP 285 is based on our legendary PSP 84 and PSP 85* delay plug-ins. It’s our latest exploration of the endless possibilities offered by variable sample rate delay lines. It can produce an extremely wide variety of delay-based effects – from simple slapbacks and echoes to complex rhythmic patterns, from faithful magnetic tape delay simulations to twisted out-of-this-world pitch-shifting and resonant filtering effects – all at world-class audio quality.
NOTE: Because of its many new features, PSP 285 is not backward compatible with PSP 85, which will no longer be developed further. PSP 285 will not replace PSP 85 when installed, but we recommend that you use PSP 285 in your new and future projects.
Current users of PSP 85 can crossgrade to PSP 285 for just $28.50.
WOW! And here I thought I knew the 85 delay already. The 285 feels like a Deluxe version. Amazing work. The layout is more user-friendly (says this user) and it pushes me to want to experiment more. Included with the new look is a variety of sound and tone available that I require in a great delay. The best tools can cover every color, flavor and mood, and the 285 excels in all of those areas. This would make it a ‘must buy’ for any engineer today, but that’s before we even talk about the M/S button. Another Wow. What a great option. You guys really covered everything in this one. Thank you!
Semi-modular architecture
Up to 10 seconds of delay (pre + main) time per channel, depending on internal sampling frequency
Pre-delay for each channel
Continuous delay time control over the delay time
Cross-channel feedback and independent channel settings
Channel link mode
Delay gating for improved control over number and level of echoes
Stereo (L/R) or Mid-Side (M/S) operating modes
Wet signal ducking for improved sound clarity
Modulation section with a tempo-synced LFO and envelope follower that can be mixed in any proportion
A wide selection of envelope follower control signals in linked or unliked mode
6 click-free LFO waveforms as well as variable LFO offset and phase channel spread
A selection of 17 different filter types, with adjustable cutoff and resonance as well as flexible routing capabilities
Post filter or independently routed Drive algorithm with hard and soft saturation modes
Multi algorithm reverberation module including springs, plates, various spaces, and reverse, available in both mono-to-stereo and dual mono modes
Flexible reverb positioning in the signal chain: dry, wet, or mixed wet+dry delay output
Mixer parameters can be stored in each preset, or applied to any preset selected when in Global mode
Wet mode switch for use in sends
Control signal filtering for smooth, click-free operation
High quality 64-bit floating point signal path and unique proprietary processing algorithms
Support for sample rates of up to 384 kHz
Almost 400 presets
In order to run PSP 285 in 30-day trial mode or activate it, you don't need any hardware dongle but you need an iLok user ID which you can create for free at www.ilok.com, and you need to install the free iLok License Manager application.
You can activate the license in 3 separate locations, each of which can be either a computer or an iLok dongle (2nd generation or above). You can move these licenses at any time using PACE's iLok License Manager software.
