Where to get itAvailable from Eventideeventideaudio.com

Omnipressor is a dynamic modifier plugin that recreates the legendary 1971–1984 hardware unit, offering comprehensive dynamic control from noise gating through compression to dynamic reversal. Its signature Function knob allows seamless transitions between extreme compression modes—including infinite compression where output level stays constant—and dynamic reversal, which inverts a sound's envelope to make loud signals quiet and vice versa. Combined with independent gain and attenuation limiting controls, it excels at producing aggressive dynamics effects with minimal tweaking.

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

Key Features

01Function knob for compression, dynamic reversal, and noise gating effects
02Attack and Release Time controls for envelope shaping
03Bass Cut/Normal frequency response switching on level detector
04Atten Limit (30 dB to approximately 1 dB) and Gain Limit (30 dB to approximately 1 dB)
05Input Threshold for dynamics crossover point
06Sidechain Input for external level detection source
07Mix control for parallel compression (0–100%)
08Input Gain (−48 dB to +12 dB continuous range) and Output Gain controls
09Output level boost via Output/Cal switches (+10 dB, +20 dB, or both for +30 dB)

Things to Try

  • 01Set Attack Time fast and rotate Function knob near its clockwise limit to make cymbals sound reversed with inverted envelope
  • 02Use Output/Cal switches to add +10 dB, +20 dB, or combined +30 dB boost when extreme compression or dynamic reversal causes large consistent gain reduction
  • 03Enable Bass Cut mode to reduce low-frequency effect on overall compression/expansion operations
  • 04Set Mix to less than 100% for parallel compression blending with dry signal
