1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your VSS4 HD NATIVE authentic space reverb.
Originally launched in 1999 and available in Music, Mastering, Broadcast and
Film variants, TC Electronic’s Flagship System 6000 processor is recognized as
an industry standard for mix, mastering and post-production applications. You
will find System 6000 in literally thousands of world-leading recording, film,
post and mastering studios all over the world, and in quite a few OB vans and
broadcast production studios as well. The platform has won no less than three
of the prestigious TEC Awards over the years: in 2000 for the original System
6000, in 2005 for Mastering 6000 and in 2010 for System 6000 MKII. No longer
the preserve of the recording elite, these native DAW plugins will deliver all
of the performance of the iconic original unit combined with modern day
convenience. TC Electronic set about re-imagining the legendary System 6000 as
native DAW Plug-ins without sacrificing any performance, character or
useability. The Danish engineers, including many from the original System 6000
team, refined audio
quality whilst staying faithful to the original hardware version. The
development team fastidiously re-engineered these new native plug-ins to offer
full support for standard DAW automation and project recall with new optimized
user interface ergonomics.
VSS4 HD NATIVE Main Features
- Real-room realistic reverbs
- Precise positioning of the source in the room
- Individual 4-band decay controls
- Chaotic response
- Tweakable early reflections
Available for the first time as a plugin for DAW based productions, VSS4 HD NATIVE is the most transparent reverb ever made for your DAW, tailormade for music and sound production in all forms. VSS 4HD NATIVE is a highly advanced true stereo or Dual-Source reverb that features our finest room simulation algorithm that is capable of treating your program material with source- related reflections from multiple angles.
VSS4 HD NATIVE is a genuine Stereo Reverb that radically departs from the blurry sustain concepts of the past. Based on source-related reflections from multiple angles, its precision is comparable to real-world mono or stereo sources positioned in an authentic space.
VSS4 HD NATIVE includes numerous highly-tweakable authentic spaces from transparent, to distinctive character, with localization and depth and source complementing spaciousness through adjustable early reflections and reverb tails.
VSS4 HD NATIVE has true stereo/dual signal paths with fully decorrelated
outputs for mono downmix compatibility. It also eliminates the risk of changed
spectral nature due to destructive phase components when summing the inputs,
like reverb processors often do. The two independent input sources can be used
for a final stereo mix, or for positioning two independent mono sources in the
same virtual space. Unlike typical reverb processors, VSS4 HD NATIVE maintains
full transparency when bypassed and with two sources placed in plus and minus
30
degrees position.
VSS4 HD NATIVE is for the highly-critical ear. It is perfectly suited for any demanding mix and mastering projects and is also equally suitable for use for a wide variety of content material in music and post-production, ideal for single sources, buses and master mixes.
TC Electronic wishes you all the best, and we hope that you will enjoy using the VSS4 HD NATIVE in your audio projects.

4. Connection and Setup
4.1 Inserting the VSS4 HD NATIVE plug-in in your DAW project
Once you have downloaded the plug-in, you can now apply it to a channel in your DAW to begin using the effect. This process may vary slightly depending on your software, but generally should require these steps:
- Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the effect. Access the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to effect slots.
- Open the menu where you can select from a list of effect types, which probably includes many stock plug-ins that are included with the DAW. There should be submenu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
- The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the VSS4 HD NATIVE and it will now be added to the signal chain. Double click on the effect slot that contains VSS4 HD NATIVE to view the plug-in UI.
4.2 Operating the VSS4 HD NATIVE
After you have installed the plug-in, and activated the iLok license, you can
begin working with the plug-in on your tracks. Adjustments to the effect are
done using the plug-in user interface:
Most DAWs offer the ability to move or drag plug-ins from one track/bus to another, and VSS4 HD NATIVE supports this as well. Most DAWs also feature an on/off switch for plug-ins, accessible inside the plug-in window and/or the track itself.
4.2.1 Insert vs Aux Effect
The VSS4 HD NATIVE can be used as an insert directly on a channel, sub mix bus or master bus, or as a send/return effect on an auxiliary bus. When using the send/return method, make sure to remove the dry signal by turning the Dry Gain all the way to OFF. Note that all of the factory presets are made for the insert case, so we recommend using the lock button on the Dry Gain parameter to avoid adding the Dry signal when loading presets.
4.2.2 Mono/Stereo Operation
On a mono track, the VSS4 HD NATIVE can be used as mono-to-mono or monoto- stereo instance, and on a stereo track it works as a stereo instance. In case of a mono-mono instance, the output signal is made by mixing the left and right outputs of the reverb.
4.2.3 Bypass
Press the BYPASS button at the top to bypass or engage the VSS4 HD NATIVE.
4.2.4 Automation
Please be aware that automation of certain parameters, can cause audible
artifacts. In case you need to automate these parameters, you should take care
that
changes only take place in parts where no audio is sent to the plug-in.
4.2.5 Parameter Overview
The VSS4 HD NATIVE is a True Stereo Reverb – or two Source Input to Stereo Output reverb. Overview:
- The two Input sources can be used for either a final stereo-mix, or for positioning of two individual mono-sources in the same virtual space.
- Because VSS4 HD NATIVE is a true stereo rendering of real rooms, even with only one source input, you can get a stereo output including the early reflections and stereo diffused fields.
- The VSS4 HD NATIVE will run at sample rates up to 192kHz

5.2 Main Page
Master Reverb (blue controls)
Master Decay
Range: 0.10 seconds to 20 seconds
< 1 sec in 0.01 sec steps
1 sec in 0.1 sec steps
Master reverb decay time for the late part (the diffused field) of the
reverberation. The decay time can be further adjusted using the controls on
the
Colour page for the low, low-mid, high-mid, and high frequency bands.
Pre Delay
Range: 0 ms to to 300 ms in 1 ms steps Pre delay on the complete wet signal,
including both reverb and early reflections.
Hi Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz Attenuates the high-end frequencies of the reverb
diffuse field.
Reverb Size
Range: 0 to 15 Adjusts the overall perceived size of the diffuse field part of
the algorithm. Normally you would attempt to define the perceived room size by
altering the decay time. The Size parameter achieves a similar perceived
alteration of the room size, while keeping the Decay time. The default value
is the size that the specified location type is intended to have.
Reverb Delay
Range: 0 ms to to 300 ms in 1 ms steps Reverb diffuse field delay.
Reverb Width
Range: -10 to +10 in steps of 1 Reverb diffuse field width.
Reverb Gain
Range: OFF, -97 dB to 0 dB < -40 dB in 3 dB steps > -40 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Reverb diffuse field gain.
Click on the “M” icon inside the control to mute the reverb for a quick comparison of its effect. Hold Shift while clicking the “M” icon to mute both Reverb and Early signals. This is useful for comparing the total effect of the reverb and early signals without changing the dry signal.
Dry Gain
Range: OFF, -97 dB to 0 dB < -40 dB in 3 dB steps > -40 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Direct unprocessed dry gain. Set to OFF to kill the dry signal when on an aux
send. Click on the Lock icon inside the control, and the dry gain value will
not change when a new preset is chosen.
Master Early (orange controls)
For control of the Early Reflection part of the reverberation, the following
parameters are available:
Early Decrease
Range: 0% to 100% in 1% steps Decrease the amount and order of early
reflections. The 0 % setting will enable the full response, while 100 % is
full reduction. Reflection patterns are rendered to a high order: 1st-order
reflections have hit one surface before arriving at the listener, 2nd-order
reflections two surfaces etc. High order reflections are often more diffuse
than low order ones. In the VSS4 HD NATIVE plug-in, this effect is emulated by
assigning individual diffusion characteristics to each reflection. During
perceptual experiments, we have found that reducing particular orders of
reflections can be useful for optimizing the room response for a given
microphone placement.
Early Start
Range: 0% to 100% in 1% steps Adjusting the Start time is an efficient way of
getting rid of the first reflections that normally color the source the most.
By adjusting the Start time, the
first reflections are discarded, but the timing of the later reflections
remains unchanged. Therefore this adjustment is typically more acoustically-
precise and useful than a normal Pre-delay control.
Early Stop
Range: 0% to 100% in 1% steps The Early Stop parameter can reduce the later
reflections in the Early Reflections pattern. When using large location types,
this can be a useful parameter to
smooth the overall perception of the room.
Hi Colour
Range: -50 to +50 in 1 steps, 0=default Early reflection high-frequency colour
adjustment.
Lo Colour
Range: -50 to +50 in 1 steps, 0=default Early reflection low-frequency colour
adjustment.
Early Gain
Range: OFF, -97 dB to 0 dB < -40 dB in 3 dB steps > -40 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Early reflection gain adjusts the level of the early reflections from two
sources. Click on the “M” icon inside the control to mute the early
reflections for a quick comparison of its effect. Hold Shift while clicking
the “M” icon to mute both Reverb and Early signals. This is useful for
comparing the total effect of the reverb and early signals without changing
the dry signal.
5.3 Setup Page
Location (blue controls)
Location Type
Options: Jazz Club, Concert Hall, Vienna Hall, Bathroom, Parking Garage,
Living Room, Theater, Castle Hall, Church, Cinema, Oval Room The location type
sets the reverb diffuse field, and the early relections pattern to give an
optimum starting point for further adjustments.
Source 1
Range: L 30°, L 15°, L 7°, Center, R 7°, R 15°, R 30°. Center Front and Center
Rear are also available for some Location types. Typically, the larger
locations have more position options.
Source 1 (left input) sets the location relative to the listener position. The
graphical display shows the position of source 1 and 2, relative to the
listener position, represented by a triangle.
Source 2
Range: L 30°, L 15°, L 7°, Center, R 7°, R 15°, R 30°. Center Front and Center
Rear are also available for some Location types. Source 2 (right input) sets
the location relative to the listener position. The graphical display shows
the position of source 1 and 2, relative to the listener position, represented
by a triangle.
Source Location Display
The graphical display shows the position of source 1 and 2, relative to the
listener position, represented by a triangle. Source 1 and Source 2 can also
be set by dragging and dropping the blue dots between the available grey
source positions
Levels (orange controls)
Input Gain
Range: OFF, -97 dB to 0 dB < -40 dB in 3 dB steps > -40 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Output Gain Range: OFF, -97 dB to 0 dB < -40 dB in 3 dB steps > -40 dB in 0.5
dB steps
5.4 Colour Page
Reverb (blue controls)
Lo Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 200 Hz in 1 Hz steps Reverb diffuse field low-cut frequency.
Signals whose frequencies are below this level are attenuated by an amount set
by the Lo Dampen control.
Lo Dampen
Range: -18 dB to 0 dB in 0.5 dB steps. Adjusts the level of the reverb diffuse
field low frequency damper. Set the frequency using the Lo Cut.
Hi Cut
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz Adjusts the high-cut frequency for the diffuse field
part of the reverb.
Hi Soften
Range: -50 to +50 in steps of 1.0, 0=default Reverb diffuse field high-
frequency soften. Increase this to reduce harshness. High Soften is a special
filter used to “soften” the high frequencies of the Reverb diffuse field. This
is not a simple Hi Cut filter, but a complex set of filters working together
to remove the frequencies that gives a “brittle” or “harsh” sounding
Reverb. Hi Soften is scaled/linked to the Hi Cut and Hi Decay parameters.
Decay/Crossover (orange controls)
Lo Decay Range: 0.01 to 2.50 in 0.01 steps Decay multiplier, relative to the
Master Decay, for the frequencies below the Lo Xover.
Example: When a decay multiplier is set to 1.25 and the Master Decay is 2.0
seconds the resulting decay time will be 1.25 x 2 = 2.5 seconds.
Lo Mid Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.50 in 0.01 steps Decay multiplier relative to the Master
Decay, for the frequencies above the Lo Xover and below the Mid Xover
settings.
Hi Mid Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.50 in 0.01 steps Decay multiplier relative to the Master
Decay, for the frequencies above the Mid Xover and below the Hi Xover
settings.
Hi Decay
Range: 0.01 to 2.50 in 0.01 steps Decay multiplier relative to the Master
Decay, for the frequencies above the Hi Xover settings.
Lo Xover
Range: 20 Hz to 500 Hz Low frequency crossover frequency Mid Xover Range: 200
Hz to 2 kHz Mid frequency crossover frequency
Hi Xover
Range: 500 Hz to 20 kHz High frequency crossover frequency
5.5 Gloss Page
Reverb Setup (blue controls)
Reverb Type
Options: Normal, Coloured Reverb/diffuse field type, normal/transparent,
coloured/vintage. When a Location Type is selected, a Reverb Type is
automatically set. Use the
Reverb Type control to select between the most natural sounding diffuse field
(normal), and a more coloured “vintage” diffuse field setting.
Reverb Diffuse
Range: -25 to +25 in steps of 1, 0=default Reverb/diffuse field diffusion
amount. This parameter gives you more or less diffusion than the algorithm
designer intended for the given decay time. For optimum performance the
diffusion is automatically adjusted behind the scenes whenever you change
decay times. This parameter gives you the added control to vary the diffusion
around this automatic setting.
Reverb Modulation (orange controls)
Modulation Type
Options: Off, Default, Front/Rear, Front/Rear Subtle, Front/Rear Diffuse,
Left/ Right, Clockwise, Counter Clockwise, Chaos, Sync Reverb/diffuse field
modulation type, simulates air movement. The algorithm designers have adjusted
the diffuse field part of the reverb to be as smooth and natural sounding as
possible. However to integrate with the source material or to get a different
sound, it’s sometimes needed to add in modulation to the late part of the
reverb.
Modulation Rate
Range: -50 to +50 in steps of 1, 0=default Adjusts the rate of the selected
modulation type.
Modulation Depth
Range: 0 to 200 in steps of 1 Adjusts the depth of the selected modulation
type.
6. Presets
The VSS4 HD NATIVE offers a collection of factory presets, as well as the
option to create and save your own custom settings as user presets and
favourites. Note that most DAWs have a built-in preset function that appears
on every plugin, which is often found at the top of the plug-in window. It is
not recommended to use this as your primary method of saving presets, as it
has limited functionality and does not allow the saved presets to be
transferred easily to other DAWs. Instead, we suggest using the Preset section
at the bottom corner of the user interface window
A single click on this PRESET window brings up a menu with several
presetrelated options. You can recall a factory or user preset from the
libraries, save the
current preset, or create a new user preset with the ‘Save as’ option.
Note: the following illustrations are from a different plug-in, but the
main features are the same.
The presets menu is divided into Factory Presets and User Presets.
6.1 Factory Presets
Factory presets are built into the plug-in and cannot be overwritten, so if a factory preset is modified and you want to keep the changes, you need to save it as a User preset. User presets can be edited and organized as you like. When recalling a Factory preset or saved User preset, the name will appear in plain text as shown below. It will have a number to the left of the title, if it has been assigned as a favourite (see later), otherwise it will show “–” next to it. Do not be alarmed.
6.2 User Presets
If you make an alteration to any of the parameters in the current preset, the preset name changes to italics as a reminder that something has changed from the original factory preset
To save this new setting as a User preset, click in the PRESET window, then
select the Save As option. Save it with an appropriate name.
To discard the changes without saving, simply navigate away from that preset.
The altered preset will be saved as a user preset, with your new name for it, and its name will appear in the presets window.
If you modify a saved user preset, you have the option to “Save” (overwriting over the existing user preset) or “Save As” (save as a new user preset). If you modify a factory preset, then only “Save As” is available (to save as a new user preset). Factory presets cannot be overwritten.
User presets are not given a number unless you assign them as favourites. (See Favourite Presets below.)
6.3 Favorite Presets
Creating your own presets will make them accessible from the Preset menu, but they will only appear in the list of 100 favorite presets in the plug-in if you set them as a favorite. This is done by assigning a favorite slot number to the preset using the Favorite menu. Click the FAVORITE (heart-shaped) button at the right edge of the preset window, then select one of the 10 banks. Assign one of your custom presets to a favorite slot, then save the preset.
When a preset is assigned a favorite slot number:
- The preset is part of the 100 presets that can be recalled
- The favorite number will be locked so that two presets cannot be assigned to the same favorite slot number. This is shown in the Favorite menu by graying-out the number in question
- The favorite number will be displayed in brackets when you browse the presets menu You can remove the favorite assignment by selecting the “Remove Assignment”
feature in the Favorite menu, then saving the preset.
7. Software Updates
New versions of the software may be released to add new features and improve performance. Updates can be detected from the plug-in directly and can be installed after download from the website. See Chapter 2 for plug-in installation. If the ’Automatically check for updates’ option is checked inside the update menu, the red dot will appear on the settings icon when a new plug-in is available.
Click the gear icon and select “Check for Updates” to perform a scan.
