Q796

Q796 is the first in a series of plug-ins modeled on classic hardware devices. It is a stereo device with stereo sidechain. Built for mastering but great on single instruments.

Features:

  • Expander: includes a pump-up mode (compresses LOW levels, makes sound full).
  • Compressor:
    • Feed-forward (the modern way) and feed-back (the vintage way) modes.
    • Sidechain.
    • Negative ratio.
    • Continuous Peak-RMS set.
    • Gain reduction limit (great for invisible squashing).
    • Distortion (static and dynamic; starts over the threshold and increases with gain).
    • Long time integration (an additional very slow time constant).
  • Limiter: a very fast limiter.

The "analog" interface, modeled on the hardware, is integrated in a "digital" frame, for a better control. Three separate graphs show in realtime:

  • Input waveform.
  • Output waveform.
  • Control signal (from Peak to RMS).
  • Gain reduction.

Product: Attackease
Developer: SKnote
Type: Dynamics (Compressor / Limiter)
Price: €129
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Attackease takes an audio input (i.e. a drum mic track) and separates the incoming audio into two tracks, attack and sustain, with selectable threshold and time constants. Attack and sustain can be processed separately and then re-combined. Internal compressors for attack and sustain are included. Really different from a compressor, any external processor can be used to further process attack and sustain. The plug-in can trigger MIDI notes on attack (with selectable channel and note number). Features: Analysis, attack, sustain and MIDI sections. Automatable threshold (for accurate triggerin... [more]

Product: Fild
Developer: SKnote
Type: Imaging / Panning / Spatial
Price: €129
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Fild enables you to control relative phase, width and stereo image. It consists of three modules: Phase equalizer: relative phase between two tracks heavily affects the sound of the sum of the two. Introducing a simple delay between the tracks cannot match the phases in each frequency band. The phase equalizer provides 5 separate controls, acting exactly like an equalizer but controlling the phase instead of modifying the amplitude. Useful on guitars, drums, etc. Stereo widener: a mono signal represents a "point" source in the stereo field. Giving some width to a mono signal convert... [more]

 
Product: Grainz
Developer: SKnote
Type: Synth (Granular)
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Grainz is a granular / hybrid synth. Features: Two granular oscillators: Loads mono .WAV files and "granulizes" them. From sample playing to complete destruction. Position, grain width, grain fade-out, single-shot/loop, position LFO. One physical modeled "string" oscillator (plucked, bowed): Plucking/bowing position, pickup position, stiffness, damp. Multi-stage drag-able envelopes for amplitude, grain position, filter frequency. Granular -> physical modeled oscillators interaction. From resonance to weird effects Multi-mode resonant filters with resonance and &quo... [more]

 
Product: KickHaas
Developer: SKnote
Type: Imaging / Panning / Spatial
Price: €129
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
KickHaas is a "stage placement" stereo effect, useful for giving depth and dimension to mixes when you don't want to "hear the effect". It is based on delays and equalisation, but, differently from multi-tap delay effects, it is based on a geometric model of the ambience where the instruments and the listener are placed - simply place some walls (up to six), the listener and the sources to give realistic depth to the mix. The effect is barely distinguishable until you switch it off and loose the depth. Equalisation curves can be drawn for localisation cues (how we perceive... [more]

 
Product: Mirror1
Developer: SKnote
Type: Filter
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Mirror1 is based on SKnote's Morphing Convolution Engine. Features: Morphing Convolution Engine. Over 100 impulse responses embedded in the plugin; Impulse responses have been extracted through chains of hardware devices. 15 banks are available; Each bank is an IR sequence. Slider for seamless morphing between IRs in a bank. Lowcut filter. Highcut filter. Dry/Wet mix. ... [more]

 
Product: NLW (Non Linear Works)
Developer: SKnote
Type: Dynamics (Compressor / Limiter)
Price: TBA
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
SKnote's description of NLW: From dynamics to distortion, direct access to every parameter, from emulation to new designs. Instead of "emulating" something old, it is aimed to give all the tools needed to get the result and take advantage from the unlimited versatility of digital. Compressors, expanders, gates, overdrive, exciter, saturation. Side-chaining. Parallel processing. With a different approach against aliasing and a detailed, graphical representation of how the effect is affecting the sound.... [more]

RealThing is a dedicated hardware box for hybrid soft/hard VST and VSTi (it is not a hardware synth with a VSTi interface) - it has integrated analog and digital components to offer "vintage sound and new combinations". Sound is generated through your sound card - the analog box is controlled by 14 bit MIDI. Complex envelopes can be drawn on screen to control hardware and software. New optional modules can be added to hardware: Tube stage with overdrive. State variable filters. Features: Hardware external analog box. Connected to two audio board inputs, one output and MIDI i...

Product: Specter
Developer: SKnote
Type: Mastering
Price: €279
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Specter was developed for mastering but is also very useful on single instruments, groups or effects. The main goal was to make it "transparent". The main difference from other similar effects is that the input signal isn't split in bands. The plug-in continuously calculates an overall response including all the modules and applies it to the input signal, thus avoiding artifacts coming from several effects in series. There are 4 inputs and 2 outputs, allowing mono and stereo sidechaining (depending on the host). Specter includes 6 modules: Linear phase equaliser. Multiband compres... [more]
