Matra Plus is a delay plug-in carrying three additions the field labels Plus Version Exclusives — an Abstract UI skin and two DLC packs.

Named after the echo-rich Matra Mountains in North Hungary, it is built on a dual delay engine with the Spread and Wash controls, and the field states 100 artist presets for it.

At a Glance

  • 100 presets stated the field gives that figure twice, and itemises the DLC packs separately
  • Three skins the summary counts three; the field puts a name to one of them, The Abstract
  • Two DLC packs Designer Delays and Retro Dub Delays, both included — the field says two are currently available
  • Designer Delays three groups of ten presets, distorted, long feedback and short modulated, summing to 30
  • Retro Dub Delays stated as 30 presets, and itemised as 15 long feedback and 15 short feedback
  • Eight tricks written out each one naming the parameter number to turn

Content & Detail

01The Three Plus Exclusivesas the field numbers them▾
Exclusive #1 · The AbstractA UI skin of intricate geometric abstractions. The summary counts three skins in total, and this is the one it gives a name to
Exclusive #2 · Designer Delays DLCHeavily distorted echoes, endless feedbacks and modulations. Its own list: 10 distorted delay presets, 10 long feedback delay presets and 10 short modulated presets — 30 by that list
Exclusive #3 · Retro Dub Delays DLCAnalog echoes for a classic dub character. The field states 30 presets and itemises 15 long feedback and 15 short feedback — the stated figure and the itemised sum agree
How many DLCsThe field says all DLC packs are included, and that two are currently available
The harmonics lineThe same short list also names 10 harmonics presets. Nothing else in the field describes them, and no other section repeats that figure
Presets overallThe field states 100 presets in its short list and 100 artist presets in its summary. It does not say how the DLC presets stand in relation to that figure
02The Engine, the Modules and the Eight Tricksas the summary lists them▾

The engine and its modules

Dual delay engineA dual delay engine with an additional Wash control — the summary’s first line
SpreadA delay-on-delay concept: the Wash control blends reverb and grains into the delays
Sound design modulesThree listed: a dual resonant filter with filter LFO, two distortion units (heavy and saturation) at 8x oversampling, and a Wow/Chorus
Tone shapingThree listed: tone EQ, multimode filter and stereo imaging
Other functionsFour listed: Smart Random, Quick Fade, Bypass and In/Out Gain
GUIFive listed: an easy-to-use front view, an in-depth Tweak view, GUI rescale from 100% to 125%, three skins, and a MIDI-learnable set of controls

Formats and machine

FormatsMac: AAX, AU and VST3, 64-bit. Windows: AAX and VST3, 64-bit. It runs in any major VST/AU/AAX compatible DAW except Maschine, which the field names as unsupported
MachineMac OS X 10.11 or higher and Windows 8 or higher are recommended; at least 4 GB of RAM, 8 GB recommended; a 2 GHz CPU with at least 4 cores; 400 MB free disk space

Eight sound-design tricks the field prints

1 · Vocal glitchingApply the “Pulse” filter LFO setting (#18) with high resonance (#28) for glitchy vocal effects
2 · Spacey delaysUse the Wash control (#29) to add a touch of reverb and grain delay, for spacious ambient delays on instrumentals
3 · Dual filter sweepsDual filter settings (#27) with separate low and high cut frequencies; automate the cut frequencies, and an LFO gives rhythmic textures
4 · Saturation harmonySaturation (#32) applied as a glue effect, for warmth and cohesion across a mix
5 · Parallel distortionAdjust the dry/wet ratio of Drive (#35) to blend the distorted and clean signals
6 · Tape-style driftAdd tape-like instability (#10) to Delay Engine #2, for vintage tape delay character
7 · Dynamic feedback swellsAutomate the feedback controls (#1 and #25) so the swells evolve over time
8 · Filtered drivePlace the input filter before the signal hits the Drive (#34) to control which frequencies get distorted — the field’s note is dirty basslines

A Plus edition has to answer one question: what does the extra buy. This field answers it three times — a skin, and two preset packs whose own itemised lists come to 30 each — and leaves the relation between those 60 and the stated 100 unspoken.
