Universal Audio UAD POWERED PLUG-INS ver.6.1 - Manual (Page 158)

UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 158 - Chapter 12: Ampex ATR-102
Repro
Repro mode models the sound of tape recording through the record head and
playback through the reproduction head, plus all corresponding machine
electronics.
Input
Input mode emulates the sound of the Ampex ATR-102 through the machine
electronics only, without tape sonics. This is the scenario when the machine is
in live monitoring mode but the tape transport is not running.
Thru
Thru is a processor bypass control. When Thru is enabled, all controls are in-
active, emulation processing is disabled, and DSP usage is reduced.
Thru behavior is similar to that of the OFF position in the POWER control
(
page 154 ), except that the Meters are still active in Thru mode. In this state,
the Meters indicate signal levels at the input of the plug-in prior to processing.
Note: DSP usage is reduced only when DSP LoadLock ( page 74 ) is disabled.
If DSP LoadLock is enabled (the default setting), activating Thru will not reduce
DSP usage.
Tape Reels
Animation
When the secondary controls panel is closed
(
Figure 44 on page 147 ), by default the
graphical tape reels “spin” if the DAW trans-
port is running. The tape reels animation can
be disabled by clicking the capstan graphic.
Re-clicking the capstan will re-start the animation.
The “spin state” is saved until it is changed again.
Note: Spinning reels automation is not supported in all hosts (e.g., Wavelab,
Audition, Vegas). In Sonar, the plug-in must be configured as a “tempo-based
effect” for reels animation.
