Kotelnikov - the successor to "Feedback Compressor II".
A word from the developers.
Tokyo Dawn Labs wrote:we're proud to announce the immediate release of TDR Kotelnikov, a new
mastering compressor.
TDR Kotelnikov is a wideband dynamics processor combining high fidelity
dynamic range control with deep musical flexibility. As a descendant of the
venerable TDR Feedback Compressor product family, Kotelnikov has directly
inherited several unique features such as a proven control scheme,
individual release control for peak and RMS content, an intuitive user
interface, and powerful, state of the art, high-precision algorithms.
With a sonic signature best described as “stealthy”, Kotelnikov has the
ability to manipulate the dynamic range by dramatic amounts, while carefully
preserving the original tone, timbre and punch of a musical signal. As such,
it is perfectly suited to stereo bus compression as well as other critical
applications.
The “Gentleman’s Edition” (GE) adds several improvements to the
standard edition’s feature set. The most obvious being an intuitive access
to various equal loudness workflows, the ability to specify ratio in a
frequency dependent manner, as well as a powerful sidechain high-pass filter
allowing continuously variable access over slope and frequency. The Yin/Yang
functions allow manipulating the harmonic pattern produced during
compression, and a new “insane” quality mode increases processing
fidelity even further.
Kotelnikov does not try to emulate any previously available device. The
concept is a proud digital processor, it is the original!
Notable features
# 64bit floating point precision for all relevant calculations
# Multi-rate processing structure for highest accuracy
# “Delta” oversampled signal path (bit transparent at 0dB gain
reduction)
# Super fast, yet natural sounding compression
# Control scheme based on “Crest factor”, offering independent release
controls for peak and RMS events
# Frequency dependent ratio
# Flexible sidechain highpass filter offering continuously variable control
over slope and frequency
# Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus
# Delta preview mode to preview the difference between compressed and
original signal
# Equal loudness latency compensated bypass (processing doesn’t interrupt)
# Extensive documentation
The standard edition can be downloaded for free, the Gentleman's Edition can
be purchased directly from Tokyo Dawn for €40.00.

Kotelnikov is available in:
VST, AU, AAX for Windows and Macintosh, in both 32bit and 64bit.
Kotelnikov does not come in VST3, neither does Kotelnikov have external side chaining capability.
It is advised to consult the manual(s) prior to using this plugin.
And a warning for Wavelab users:
There is currently still a bug in the 32bit Standard edition, where the mouse wheel doesn't work. This will be fixed in a maintenance update.
