Voxengo has released LF-Punch, a VST effect plug-in for Windows that adds low-frequency thump and punch, plus a little distortion, to bring your music's bottom end to life - LF-Punch is able to give you the elements of low-frequency FX usually associated with tape machines.

LF-Punch dynamically emphasizes selected center bass frequency, performs adjustable amount of phase-shifting and then applies smooth distortion. Optional compression can then be applied to the resulting sound.

Note that LF-Punch first splits the broad-band signal into low- and high-frequency bands and applies FX to the lower band only.

This FX can be used with a wide range of program material: various drum tracks, bass tracks, contemporary music mixes: rap, trance, club music; even rock music can benefit from LF-Punch's low frequency adjustments.

Features:

• FX center frequency control.
• Phase-shifting module.
• Variable distortion.
• Built-in compressor.
• FX monitoring switch.
• Two processing modes.
• "A-to-B" comparisons.
• Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo-to-Stereo processing.
• All sample rates supported.
• Native assembler DSP code.

LF-Punch is currently available for the introductory price of US$39.95 and a demo version is available.
