Then there’s the Low Filter section, which like the High Filter offers frequency adjust and boost/cut knobs plus a button to switch it to a bell filter. Below that are two fully parametric bands: High-Medium Filter and Low-Medium Filter. It’s equipped with a semi-parametric High Filter band, which can be switched from a shelving filter to a bell filter with the push of a button. The other EQ module, FG-S, appears to be modeled from an SSL console EQ. In fact, it’s pretty subtle in many situations. The Drive control’s effect is not as dramatic as you might expect. Thus you can drive the signal harder without making it louder. When Drive is engaged, the input gain is compensated. When the Drive is off, it’s an Input Gain control. Above each rack space is a set of controls including on/off, Solo, the preset menu, a tab labeled F that gives you automation information, and a button (X) that deletes the entire module.Īdditional controls include a Line/Drive knob and Drive switch. Within the rack, modules can be reordered by dragging and dropping. You can also select from a menu of global presets, which utilize multiple modules. Another free module, Trimmer, was in beta at the time of this review, and I’ll cover it briefly later in this review.Įach module has its own preset menu, and most of the presets offer useful starting points. VMR comes with five modules (including the free Revival module), so there’s room for expansion, and Slate will be offering additional ones for purchase. Once you’ve populated the first three spaces, each subsequent module you drag in creates a new space, until you reach the maximum of eight. Graphic depictions of the available modules inhabit the far lefthand side of the rack, and can be dragged into the rack slots in any order you want.

Until you fill a slot with a module, it sports a faux “cover plate, ” which the manual cheekily says is designed to prevent virtual dust from getting into the rack. When you open up a default instance of VMR (which can be mono or stereo depending on the configuration of the DAW channel) you get a rack with three empty slots.
