Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Routable Gate, Compressor, and 5-band Parametric EQ modules
02Flexible signal chain reordering for Gate, Compressor, and EQ
03Five-band parametric EQ with graphical curve editor and individual band control
04Compressor with 1:1 to 20:1 ratio, soft saturation, and de-ess (4–9 kHz)
05Gate with threshold and release time controls (1–500 ms)
06Side chain support for Gate and Compressor
07Analog transformer output saturation model
08Input and output metering with overload detection (-60 to 0 dBfs)

Things to Try

  • 01Set the Compressor ratio to 20:1 and Knee to 0 dB to create a hard limiter
  • 02Use the Compressor's de-ess feature by toggling it on and setting the frequency to the midpoint where sibilant 'S' sounds are most pronounced (4–9 kHz range)
  • 03Drive the output Transformer hard to introduce nonlinearity and analog character to signals with heavy low-frequency content
  • 04Control-click and drag EQ graphical display dots (or use mouse wheel) to adjust Q settings for narrower or broader filter bandwidths
