Temecula DSP SG-626 (URSA Major Stargate 626 Recreation)The SG-626 is a digital reverb and echo plugin modeled after the Ursa Major Stargate 626, the successor to Christopher Moore's Stargate 323. Where the 323 introduced PROM-based modulation and true pitch stability as an answer to the Space Station's artifacts, the 626 doubled the memory capacity and expanded the program count from 8 to 16 — eight reverb programs and eight echo programs — with decay times reaching up to 20 seconds. Trusted by artists including Tycho, ManmadeMadman, and Troy Redfern. The Stargate's reverb architecture is fundamentally different from the Space Station. Its 15 taps modulate independently in both delay time and gain, driven by hand-optimized PROM waveforms rather than simple triangle waves. The modulation rate is signal-adaptive — it responds to the dynamics of the input, speeding up or slowing down based on the incoming signal's energy. The result is a smoother, more pitch-stable reverb with a refined character and 15kHz bandwidth. Controls include 16 pre-delay settings, 16 decay settings, independent low-frequency and high-frequency decay shaping, input level, and separate direct and reverb mix controls. A J13 jumper mode switches between two modulation configurations, matching a hardware option on the original unit. The echo programs offer a distinct character from the reverb programs, with their own feedback and delay behavior. Modern additions include tempo sync with support for straight, dotted, and triplet note divisions, preset management, and input metering. Available as AAX and VST3 on Windows and Mac, and Audio Units on Mac. A full user manual is included. Read More
