Analogue Modelling Suite

Analogue Modelling Suite

The Analogue Modelling Suite Plus includes four high-quality effects plug-ins that model analog audio tools which simply can't be left out of any mastering process.

This includes a high-quality analog compressor (am-track) with optional simulation of studio tape machine saturation effects, a transient designer (am-pulse) for influencing the signal envelope of percussive audio material, a tube pre-amp/channel strip (am-phibia), plus a mastering dynamics tool (am|munition) with compressor, limiter, clipper and M/S editing.

Compressor with M/S editing: am|munition

Compressor with M/S editing: am|munition

The VST plugin am|munition is an extremely versatile dynamics tool for editing signal groups or sum signals, making it especially useful for mastering. It contains separate units such as compression, filtering, side-chain, limiter and clipper. You can also edit mid and side signals separately in M/S mode. All modules and parameters are optimized for compressing program material without disturbing artifacts, loudness gain, and analog control mode with individual sound signature.

Transient designer: am|pulse

Transient designer: am|pulse

The transient designer has been developed specifically for detailed editing of percussive and dynamic signals. It's particularly suitable for optimizing attack and sustain parameters for drum or string parts. Among its other optimization mechanisms, am|pulse boasts saturation control and mix function due to its harmonic control mode.

Tape simulation: am|track

Tape simulation: am|track

This fantastic combination of analog compressor and tape simulation is mainly suited to editing individual channels or sub-group signals. am-track features two completely different compressors, each with its own independent controls and sound characteristics. As well as the VCA mode, which covers the typical sound of modern VCA compressors, there's the Vintage mode, which uses an FET (field-effect transistor) element to create a more aggressive sound. In addition, the tape selection feature enables a tape saturation effect to be imitated, which catches soft transients and sends them through the "tape".

Tube amp: am|phibia

Tube amp: am|phibia

This plug-in is particularly good for editing recordings of vocals and acoustic instruments. am|phibia is a combination of a tube preamp and channel strip that combines a high-quality opto compressor with a pre and post filter. It offers a whole new range of options for sound design.

It lets you easily simulate any kind of guitar effect in a realistic way.

VariVerb II

VariVerb II

VariVerb II (short for: VARIable reVERB) is a high-quality reverb plug-in that runs on an algorithmic basis.

It provides a series of rooms, halls, reverb plates, spring reverb modules, and so-called non-linear effects, which can be edited comprehensively and easily.

Sound design for drums, vocals and guitars

VariVerb II offers more depth and more texture for your audio. The huge range of presets for drums, vocals and guitars in this plug-in are based on a variety of algorithms and can be used not just for making improvements, but as the starting point for complex sound design.

Precisely calculated reflection pattern

Use VariVerb II to create reverb based on complex reflection pattern and various software models rather than on the basis of impulse responses. Create various effects with adjustable parameters such as room, hall, plate, spring modules, and non-linear reverb, all based on algorithmic calculations.

Vintage Effects Suite

Vintage Effects Suite

The Vintage Effects Suite expands the palette of effects with a Chorus/Flanger, a delay, and a filter plug-in, CORVEX, ECOX and FILTOX, all of which are based on the same simple operating principle and will wow you with their incredibly exciting effect sounds.

ECOX

ECOX

Ecox is a inspiring plug-in that emulates realistic tape echo sounds. It even authentically reproduces system-related problems found in the analog models, such as synchronization fluctuations, tracking fluctuations, and loss of high-frequency response with every feedback.

FILTOX
