Blockfish is a versatile compressor with countless ways to shape the incoming audio.Unlike many other digital compressors, Blockfish has 'soul'. It likes to bite, but it can be tamed easily once you've learned how to use its potential. You can remove the front plate and make further adjustments on the circuit board.Everything is possible: clean, transparent, loud, punchy, silky, subtle, fat. But still with a unique sonic character.... [more]

If you were searching for a tool to shape the envelope of a signal, giving you total control of the signal's attack & sustain phase, dominion is certainly something for you!Features: Envelope section. Adjust attack & sustain independently, regardless of input level. Plus, you have control over the envelopes' time constants. Imagine pulling a drummer up front or pushing him to the background by dragging just a single slider! Feel like moving the walls around him? Again, a single push enhances the room information or can make the sound really dry. Saturation stage. Following di... [more]

Features: Two independent frequency bands (low and high frequency processing). Switchable stereo or M/S mode operation. Two basic compressor designs: Modern VCA mode with soft-knee characteristics and manual time constants. This mode provides an instant response behaviour and deep compression, using a feed-forward circuit. Vintage-style opto (photo resistor) mode, modeled after ancient opto-electrical compressors. The time constants stay manually set, but they are also affected by the signal's energy. This mode has the ty... [more]

Floorfish is a simple expander / gate device, easy to set up and offers a broad variety of processing, ranging from slight expansion, background noise attenuation to extreme gating effects. What's different from similar units is the ability to scan the source and adjust the transition curve accordingly.... [more]

Ever heard of the denormalisation problem? Upgraded to a P4 processor and got problems with load spikes like never before? Does a certain plugin consume all available CPU power whenever there's NO signal coming in (or out)? Denormalisation is an issue with some audio hosts that don't switch off the plugin's audio task when the song is stopped or a track contains silence (or with instruments: no key is pressed while a sound decays). The problem happens when the CPU (precisely: the floating point unit (FPU) inside of it) detects extremely small num... [more]

Spitfish is a dead-easy to use de-esser, aimed mainly at mono or stereo vocal tracks. Just like classic analog de-essers, this unit dynamically filters out harsh, annoying s-like sounds that would otherwise 'spit' in your face.... [more]

This is no typical high-gain distortion device, nor a 'decimator' or bit crusher but it is some sort of saturator. It is intended for a mixer's insert path to act as a preamp stage. It smoothes out the transients, gives more overall gain and warms a bit.On good days, it behaves similar to a tube input stage, adds some gentle warmth to the input signal, brings up the overall level and just sounds as if it's consisting of analog circuits. On bad days it creates muddiness, sounds confusing, crappy and digital as hell.Features: Soft Saturation Simulator. Gain, Punch, Clip shape &... [more]
