Painstakingly modeled behavior and recreation of the general ballistics of classic VU meters. The RMS mode can be set to K-12, K-14 and K-20 scales and offers an integrated peak bargraph. The Meter ballistics are fully customizable. The VU even has a unique overshoot parameter. VUMT offers dedicated trim controls to make gain staging easy. GUI-resizing and various options to hide the controls from the GUI and show the meters only and/or a single meter display. VUMT offers eight different skins to choose from. An editable instance label is also included. In addition to all the features of the standard version VUMT deluxe offers more metering types (BBC, DIN, Nordic) plus various channel tools, such as Mute and Polarity reverse buttons, a monitor section and various signal processing tools. HighPass and LowPass Filters, a single band dynamic EQ with various filter types, useful to remove resonances or for de-essing and a mono maker to narrow the stereo image below a certain frequency.

DC8C is one of the most flexible compressors around. While making a lot of different compression styles possible, it's general nature may be described as clear, smooth, open, distinct. The main goal while designing DC8C was to get a very clean compressor action without unwanted and often almost inevitable artifacts/distortion. This way you can achieve almost invisible compression for your most demanding mastering sessions, when you want to avoid coloration. If you aim for color you can choose between two saturation models. From opto-style, peak compression, external side-chaining, RMS compression, feedback, feedforward compression (and everything in-between) to negative ratios, zero latency brick-wall limiting, from snappy transient treatment to smooth transient rounding, everything is possible.

SDRR was built to satisfy almost all of your saturation desires. It provides a comprehensive set of controls to manipulate the character of the saturation to make it fit exactly. SDRR offers four different main modes, TUBE, DIGI, FUZZ, DESK and reacts dynamically to the input signal. Each mode has its unique crosstalk behavior, which can be switched off or exaggerated. A unique RMS level difference metering mode makes level matching an easy task. SDRR can be different things, a saturation, a compressor, an EQ, a bit-crusher, a subtle stereo widener, or simply add some movement to your tracks with the DRIFT control. Add warmth, depth and character to your tracks with SDRR. Don't forget to check out the free IVGI, which can be seen as the little brother of SDRR. It is based on the DESK mode in SDRR. SDRR is available for macOS and Windows (all included in one single license).

MJUC is the most effortful Klanghelm plugin to date. It took almost two years of extensive, dare I say "excessive", research and development. To create MJUC I've researched and analyzed each and every variable-mu implementation I could get my hands on to get the best of tube compression into a single processor. In order to do the diversity of this compression topology justice, three different models have been built. These are kind of a time travel though the history of tube compression to capture the essence of each generation. Each model has its own dedicated signal path and dedicated control set. If desired you can tweak the overall tone and saturation of each model with the unique TIMBRE and the DRIVE knob. DRIVE controls the load of the input and output transformers as well as the saturation of the tube gain stages, if applicable. The TIMBRE extends MJUC's use as a tone shaper.

5 modules, RMS compressor, peak limiter, high-frequency limiter, clipper, true peak limiter. High-quality signal processing to use for mastering purposes. Brickwall and soft limiting with different timing settings. M/S and multiband modes, optional 4x oversampling, true inter-sample peaks (ISP) limiting, analog-style indication, 2 different GUIs. Analog-style indicators are used to show the level of signal limiting in corresponding module. Indicator scales are in dB format. Rightmost position means 0 dB of signal limiting. In some host applications, there can be problems with using the mouse wheel to change parameters. In the Windows version, in order to use the mouse wheel, the plugin window must be active (to activate the window, you should click on the window header or at any point in the plugin's window background).

A unique way of surfing between sounds. SyndtSphere is basically a sphere version of our polyphonic synthesizer Syndt. With a minimalistic approach, it features a unique experience of ”surfing” between presets. All parameters are morphed according to the proximity of the different presets. By rotating a sphere that consists of more than 70 professionally created states, anyone can dial in the perfect sound without having to deal with specific parameters. In addition to the sphere, a ping-pong delay and a few more global settings are available. Highly innovative interface, seamlessly browse between 70+ professionally made presets. Requires macOS 10.9 or later, Windows 7 (SP1) or later, running a AU or VST compatible 64-bit host. Requires iOS 9.3 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The different nodes represent presets. When you're between these nodes, the parameters are morphed according to the proximity of all surrounding nodes.

Kleverb is a high quality algorithmic reverb effect. An intuitive UI combined with a carefully calibrated network of filters and delays makes this a powerful effect useful in any context; all from acoustic jazz to EDM. With three different room size setups (small, medium, large), selectable filter on both early and late reflections, modulation, damping, diffusion and much more, almost any kind of room can be simulated. There is also a ducker included that uses the dry signal as side-chain. Very useful to keep vocals or other solo instruments distinct even when they're soaking wet. The 64 factory presets covers most of the Kleverb features.

Slammer is a multi-sampled drum plug-in that contains 30 different instruments made from a large number of carefully recorded and edited samples. Integrated custom-built real-time effects combined with some clever routing makes Slammer a versatile and flexible virtual instrument that is capable of rendering anything from natural acoustic to heavily distorted and compressed drum sounds. Each sound can be customized with a wide array of settings like pitch, filtering, effect sends, decay time, velocity mapping and much more. There’s also a “Dirt” section for distortion and compression, a reverb and tone control. The amount of “dirt” and reverb can be tweaked individually for each instrument. On top of all, Slammer comes with a set of factory presets, covering anything from light and slick to heavy and gritty. If you're looking for a drum instrument, giving you 'instant gratification' from the first hit, this is it.

The upgraded Haaze v2 from Klevgrand is an elegant solution for controlling stereo width and spatially positioning a sound in a stereo mix. Regular L-R panning is a weak tool that doesn't resemble real-world acoustics, which becomes clear when trying to place a mono sound naturally in a stereo mix (especially on headphones). The result still feels very "mono". Haaze is an audio plugin that makes the positioning feel more natural, understandable and pleasant for the ears. It splits the audio signal into 16 frequency bands. On each band, you can delay the left or right signal (which will make the listener believe the sound arrives from the side that’s reaching the ear first), pan it to the left or right, or adjust the overall width on that band (for example, make the lower frequencies more focused in the middle than the higher). Haaze can also diffuse a mono signal and make it wider. If this sounds complicated.

LUXE is an effect plugin that compresses and saturates an audio signal in a quite subtle but musical way. It is very useful for making a track "fit in the mix", and can be used with very good results on a drum bus, a vocal track or anything in between. LUXE is very easy to use – simply choose between the LUXE or FINESSE algorithms, and set the desired processing level. Don't be fooled by the modest control possibilities - under the hood is a very sophisticated set of parameters that will treat your incoming audio with great care, musicality and warmth. The slider sets the amount of the effect. Under the hood this parameter controls a set of internal (non-visible) parameters which makes LUXE an easy tool to use for quick results. The alternate FINESSE algorithm offers a slightly different frequency response, and also adds some edge to the internal saturation module.

REAMP is a complex spectral saturation processor, simulating a set of different analog gear in a new and unique way. Benefits of this algorithm is that it is highly CPU efficient and adds (almost) no latency. The seven models available are based on real analog gear, individually measured in two dimensions; gain responses (-inf dB to +6 dB) at the frequency spectrum 20Hz to 20kHz. This data is used to transform input audio to output audio. A four-band spectral drive allows you to let the unit work even more. Seven handpicked profiles based on gear we love. Plenty of factory presets. Ultra low latency.

Usually, vocal synthesis requires complex modeling algorithms that run on your host computer. This technology has not yet reached a fully-accurate level of realism and has been stagnating for quite some time. Emvoice takes a different approach. We've broken record vocals down to the granular level, recording the elements that make up individual phonemes at multiple pitches. Thousands of samples are reconstructed by a sophisticated cloud-based engine that returns the complete vocal to your system over the internet. What you're hearing when you listen to Emvoice One isn't artificial, it's a real singer's voice interpreting your own words. The Emvoice One plugin makes it easy to program notes and tie words to them, and the Emvoice engine does the hard work behind the scenes to recombine phonemes, but there's one more layer to how Emvoice works. Our engine translates English-language words into phonemes to more easily speak to the Emvoice, and also offers multiple pronunciation options.
