UltraChannel is an all-in-one channel strip for mixing and mastering that combines a routable Gate, two Compressors (including the O-Pressor), Five-Band Parametric Equalizer, Micro Pitch Shift, and Stereo Delays in a modular signal chain. Its flexible architecture lets you reorder most modules, access sidechain inputs for dynamic control, and route delay feedback through other processors to create filtered, ducked, or gated delay effects. The integrated graphical displays and suite of tone-shaping controls deliver precise frequency manipulation and dynamic character across a single plugin.
