Also present on the extensive official Syro gear list is the Quantec Room Simulator.
"We've got a Lexicon 224, a Lexicon 224X, a Quantec Room Simulator and an AMS system. So really that's four very good quality reverbs. We also use quite a bit of natural echo, because there's a long corridor that still has the original church stonework intact, and above Blackwing Studio there is a natural echo chamber which lies under the main roof of the church. When I originally designed Blackwing, I left the area under the roof as a natural echo room, really because it seemed too good to waste. I think nowadays the selection and application of reverb has become the most difficult - and at the same time, the most productive - area of the recording process, because that is where a lot of the new production work is going on, particularly with things like drum sounds. I spend a lot of time adding reverb to the LinnDrum and the Fairlight, because it is very difficult to get it absolutely right, though when you do of course, the results can be very impressive."
In an article from Sound On Sound (August 2014) about Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" track, it is mentioned that the Quantec Room Simulator was part of the gear in his Ashcombe home studio:
A 56‑input SSL 4000 E Series was complemented by a stock Studer A80 24‑track machine and a modified Studio A80 with customised Colin Broad Audio cards. Outboard gear included an EMT echo plate, AMS 1580 digital delay, RMX 16, Delta Labs DL2, Lexicon 224, Quantec Room Simulator and Decca compressors, as well as Revox B77 quarter‑inch and Ampex ATR half‑inch tape machines.
"The QRS is probably the opposite of that, where the Ursa Major is very low-fi, and very gritty, this is probably one of the most high end most expensive sounding reverb i’ve ever heard. I actually think it’s superior to something like the expensive Lexicon stuff," says Ulrich Schnauss, at 4:07 in this video interview with Future Music Magazine.
"Not as often — but definitely with something like the AMS digital reverb. I got terrifically excited when I first tried that out because it's beautiful - one of the deepest and best reverb sounds I've ever heard. I've also got a Lexicon 224 reverb which I've had a long time, but it doesn't have that depth. I always look for a reverb unit that gives me that perspective back behind the speakers - the Lexicon does a bit, but the AMS has got real depth to it. And the Quantec Room Simulator also; a beautiful piece of equipment."
In the Beatport Buzz article "Jimmy Edgar's Top 5 Gear Innovations for 2015," Jimmy Edgar discusses his use of the Quantec Room Simulator, highlighting its role in his studio setup.
"It's called Japanese Butterfly, and it should be on release now. Originally we were going to call it Death of a Japanese Butterfly, but the marketing people in the States thought that sounded a little negative. Instead I've called the last track Ko Cho No Shi, which roughly translates as Lonely Butterfly Death, so I managed to get it in somewhere! There are ten short tracks and the whole album was recorded at home on a Tascam 38 eight-track with a Quantec Room Simulator for reverb effects."
