Temecula DSP has released URSA Major Space Station SST-206, a new reverb plugin for macOS and Windows.
The original SST-282 Space Station was released in 1978 and quickly became a studio staple, defining the sound of artists like Depeche Mode, Tycho, and Hannes Bieger. Its unique time-modulated algorithm created a lush, dimensional space that remains instantly recognizable to this day.
In 2003, the SST-206 was released as a fully digital recreation, enhancing the original’s 7kHz bandwidth to a full 22kHz while adding increased memory for longer delay times and a handheld form factor. Now you can have the exact sound of this legendary reverb in your DAW — without paying upwards of $4,000 for a used hardware unit.
After three years of waiting for this plugin to exist, I finally decided to recreate it myself.
I have owned both the original SST-282 and the SST-206 hardware units. While the 282 gets a lot of attention, the SST-206 is a completely different unit and, in my experience, by far the superior piece of gear.
This plugin is not a standard emulation; it is a 100% recreation of the original hardware unit that was created in 2002 and released in 2004. It utilizes the actual DSP characteristics of the original to bring that specific sound back to life.
Pricing & Availability
URSA Major Space Station SST-206 is available for macOS and Windows in VST3 and AU plugin formats for $50.
