Is A or B the hardware? You decide. (Answer @ bottom of the post)

Update : FYI – this is a preliminary BETA test comparison. I’ll be conducting additional comparisons shortly as CODE optimizations occur.

Part Two

Additional Set/Poll created from the latest version of the LX 480 containing more authentic/improved parameter values in relation to the hardware.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Answer (Read Right to Left) = L084 erawdraH = .B / nigulP XL084 = .A

Polls often change once people know the answer. I’ve captured a screenshot of the polls pre reveal & the project window.

Overview

• An authentic capture of a classic UNIVIBE spring verb in it’s full gritty, LoFi dub, surreal springtasic noisiness. “Warning” not suitable for the realist audiophile folk  =)
• Sampled via an additional tube makeup stage & Lynx conversion.

Nebula has taken the torch from standard IR convolution. This dynamic sampling technology brings hardware realism to the DAW. Learn more about the the Nebula Engine.

Model = Quantec QRS-XL

Impulse capture method = Sweep

I/O = Analog

Format = 24bit 48k WAV

The Quantec room simulators are rare & extremely unique. They have an eerie ability to create realistic enclosed atmosphere. It’s easy to understand the cult following of the Quantec sound. It’s rooms are 2nd to none.

Goal = capture the Lexicon PCM 70 Version 2 Registers.

Version 2 of the PCM 70 has a handful of  registers not available in later revisions.  (You can find Ver 3 impulses HERE)

Impulse Resolution = 24bit 48k Stereo

These are the  SysEx register dumps from both Ver 2 & 3 for all to enjoy.

Lexicon-PCM-70-Ver-2.syx (Thank you Karl Lund)

Lexicon-PCM-70-Ver-3-without-row-6-for-ver-2-Reg.syx

Use a SysEx utilty to send them to the PCM 70 Registers.

Like true stereo hardware, true stereo IRs  process both the Left & Right channels independently for a more accurate & detailed emulation.

Goal = Capture True Stereo IR programs from the “legend in its own time” Bricasti Design M7 Stereo Reverb Processor.

228  impulse files capturing the Ambience, Chamber, Hall, Plate, Room, &  Space  Registers.

Independent IR’s from both the Left & Right inputs.  No post processing pseudo stereo expansion, phase shifting, or unrap has been used to give the illusion of a stereo image.

I/O = AES Digital @ 24bit 96k
IR  Resolution = 24bit 96k

True Stereo compatible convolution reverb recommended.  (Check end of post for a manual routing alternative.) Recommended plug-in : liquidsonics Reverberate.

Goal = capture the H3000 series Reverberation.

The expanded H3000 D/SX & H3000 SE Captured with 24bit Lynx converters @ the units maximum SR of 44,100.

Not many FX processors are as well known or compete with the H3000x & rightfully so. This widely used (some might say overused) device is a studio must have. Equally known for it’s crazy modulation FX it’s Reverbs are in a world of there own..

Contains 114 IR’s from the Band Delay, Dense Room, Mod Factory, MULTI-SHIFT, Patch Factory, Reverb Factory, Sweep Reverb, SWEPT COMBS, & ULTRA-TAP algorithms.
