I don't like to look at effects as "only" effects, but rather as instruments, an integral part of a composition, but sometimes I encounter effects like Plateau from Valley, that also the word Instrument is not enough to describe them... In its core, it's a plate reverb, but it's so much more than that. And anyway, also as "just" a reverb, it's one of the best sounding reverbs I ever encountered, not only in VCV Rack. So in this video, I go through all of its features, and I build a patch, from scratch, and having fun :)
Here is the final patch - patchstorage.c...

That change at 13:29 makes me feel the sane as the beat change in Frank Ocean's Nights
You had a massive fireworks type of sound going there without diffusion. Very nice tut.
Yeah, the sonic possibilities are vast with Plateau. Thanks!
thx Omri, good to know the ins and outs of Plateau,
Thanks, Wim! It is one hell of a module...
Oh Men As alyways tons of inspirations in your video Omri. I'm waiting for time when i can try something with Plateau again. Very nice explanation of functionality Plateau. Cool very useful.
Thanks so much, my friend! Get better soon!
Fabulous, as always, Omri!
Thanks so much, Maurice!
This is how the legend was born.
New subscriber and fan. Thank you, Omri.
Hey that's great! Welcome aboard and thanks :)
Exellent Tutorial as always, Thnx!!
Thank you!
oh ya, sounds so goood!
Cheers!
Thought I'd have a go at this before going to bed last night, big mistake! I got to the transpose part and it just sounded all wrong. It was only this morning I realised I had the clock set to x16 instead of /16!
Great tutorial Omri. Thank you.
I'm happy it worked out at the end :) Cheers!
great one as always
Thanks, mate!
on top of your game rifht of the gate!
cheers!
I saw you got a neutron. will we see patches with it as well? (:
Thanks so much! Yeah, already recorded the first patch :) I'm still thinking on how to integrate it with my vcv videos...
increadible, tnx very much!
Thank you!
Thank You.
Cheers!
why don't I get any sound when I load the patch?
Just to make sure, did you unmute the mixer? And did you choose your interface on the audio module?
Is there any hardware module as good as plateau?
Well, I hear only good things about the Erbe Verb, and I have the Desomodus Versio for a few weeks now, and it's a super nice reverb.
26:02 hey, no, why are you stopping :o
Plateau works wonders when used as an audio source for Clouds / Texture Synthesizer :)
Crazy stuff!
Dear Omri, thanks for the video. After 12" I lost track of what you were doing. Too much information at once.
Yeah, Plateau is full of features, true... Maybe I will revisit it in the future.
There is in a physical modular world?
Thank you for this video. I see Plateau used in many patches, so it is very helpful to better understand its usage.
Thanks, Sean! Yeah, it's very popular and very unique...
i love that seq switch with the 7th in it. thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it!
@@OmriCohen-Music Glad I found your vid. As I am coming from the DAW and making more melodic and rythmic (structured?) peaces than the "pure" modular people, I am always happy when I find some inspirations like this vid. I played a lot with the transpose function of quantum and tried to figure out to automaticly recognice when to switch between major and minor for a given key. But this always ended in a big collection of const and comparators modules and i believe that this is not the intention of vcv rack. Anyhow, you are an inspiration for many people and your vids helped me a lot to come into the modular world. Thanks a lot for your effort.
now I understand why everyone use plateau :)
I constantly use Ikea stuff in my modular systems, for example my desk :) --- My head didn't stop bouncing, so it was a GOOOOOOOOD video as always :)
Cheers!
amazing tutorials! thank you very much!
I'm really happy you enjoy my work, thanks so much!
So is Valley Plateau a virtual plugin only, or is there an actual hardware Eurorack module available and if so where can one purchase it? I've looked and I can't find one anywhere.
Yeah, Plateau is only virtual...
please, give a track at start in video
Is there a limit to the number of modules you can download in VCV rack? I can see this reverb in my plugin folder but I can't see it in Rack itself.
No, there's no limit... Do you have the latest version of VCV? How did you install the plugin?
Excellent tutorial and patch!!!! i´m using plateu as bus effects in Ableton using the bridge, works perfect
Thanks! Yeah, it's so good... really one of the best I've heard!
Incredible video, and beautiful patch!
Thank you!
What is the revervation module in Eurorack that comes closest to Plateau please?
I'm not so sure there is one but the new Strymon looks promising.
Hey Omri,
Your videos on VCV are great and always a joy to watch. I learned a lot, thanks!
Maybe you can help me out: I am looking for a VCV equivalent of Malekko's Gate Delay. Do you know a module which can do that?
DGate by Bogaudio is a Gate Delay, but not as funky as Malekko's take =)
Thanks,
cheers,
T.
Thanks so much! Yeah, the Malekko's one look pretty awesome, but I'm afraid that I still didn't encounter something like this in rack...
@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks for your answer! I would not be surprised if we see a module like this in VCV anytime soon =)
It looks really good, so I hope there will be something like this in rack soon :)
Thank you for this. Now I can explore this module without just using it with default settings.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this. But with higher reverb I am getting a kind of dirty distortion in my headphones. What could be the problem?
Well, this reverb is quite hot so you have to watch your levels. Where are you sending it to? Can you lower the level?
@@OmriCohen-Music I am sending it directly to the mixer. My level is about 60%. With a Sine wave and specifically Saw wave the distortion is super heavy even at low volumes
great tutorial... learned a lot... thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
beautiful Omri
Thank you!
Thanks!🙏🏽
Cheers!
This is a really lovely module. I seem to remember that it needs a fair amount of CPU, unfortunately, and I think my system would struggle with your final patch. It sounded excellent though! I hadn't realised Plateau could do those wonderful metallic sounds - they remind me of hitting saucepans when filling them with water :)
Yeah, it can get quite CPU hungry but it's worth every bit...
Thanks
Thanks again so much!
Honestly it makes just about everything sound absolutely lush and spacious! It is my favorite reverb to insert in my chain! Thank you for all of the time that you put into your helping wayward souls learn modular synthesis! BTW your music is phenomenal! 😍 super cool blend of marimba & flute & granular!
Hey, wow, thanks so much!
Again another amazing video, thank you. I learn so much from you, I was wondering do have any plans on doing videos of Amalgamated Harmonics modules? Once again thank you for all you do for the VCV community.
Thanks so much, Brent! Yeah, the Amalgamated modules are on my list :)
Beautiful sounds, well done !
Thanks so much!
Does Quantum have some equivalent in the real world (a real Eurorack module)?
Have a look at those two - addacsystem.com/product/addac200-series/addac207

I'm pumped for some Behringer Neutron videos! I'm picking one up when my internship ends in a few weeks.
Hey, congrats man! I will try to upload something soon :)
Yes Omri!!! Thanks for sequencing my stoned afternoon 🙏
Hey man, great! Glad you liked it :)
love drifting off to him building patches after work after a dynavap or 4...
Absolutely incredible
Plateau is life...
awesome tutorial
Thanks so much!
👍❤️
Thanks, Lars!
