Korvpressor is an adaptive compressor/limiter with an easy-to-use interface (a whole new take on how to tame a compressor). The compression algorithm is developed with transparency in mind, and this effect processor will sound great on almost all kinds of sounds; all from a vocal track to a full blown mix.
In addition to the compression unit there are three knobs for controlling low, mid and high frequency levels.
Features.
• Recognized high quality compression algorithm
• Unique and easy-to-use UI
• Attack / Release time switch (three states)

It's easy to like Klevgränd and their approach to sound and graphic design, especially on the iPad where they are intuitive and quick. When ported to VST however they appear more like toys. Most plug-ins need some gain-staging to perform at their full capacity, and to do that You need some metering. This one has nothing of that, or at most a minimal amount. It's hard to fault the sound however, loud sounds better, and this one goes really loud without any obvious artifacts. It works great on a digital source without background noise to even out the sound and make it louder, but I wouldn't trust it on an acoustic recording or the master bus. It's true that if it sounds good, it is good. But I personally would really like some more control. It just doesn't feel right if I can't verify my settings visually after some hours of mixing. The GUI looks great and is intuitive, maybe if they add some more controls and meters in an expert mode I would use it more.
