Lol

+1. I'd like to have the previous installer too. My impression is that the new version sounds less dirty; could it be that the new GUI fools my brain and stuff?

mkII Eventide effects are some of the best Native options.

What were the improvements over the mkI Omnipressor?

This new update adds a Mix control and Input/Output Gain knobs.

In its manual on page 4:

Depth Is Mix!

Many modulation type effects provide a mix control. In fact, it is impossible to achieve most modulation-type effects without a mix control. By definition these effects are created by combining the dry input signal with some affected signal. This signal is usually phase shifted by means of a phase shift network, or time delayed by a digital delay line or bucket brigade device. The Instant Phaser has a mix knob, but rather than being labeled Mix, it is called Depth. At 0% the output is entirely the phase shifted signal, so you will hear a slight detuning effect. At 100% it is an even mix of the dry and wet signal for full phasing effect.

Why is it called Depth, you ask? As you add more of the dry signal to the delayed signal nulls appear in the output spectrum. These nulls get deeper as the two signals approach equal amplitude. Hence you are controlling the depth of the nulls!

And there are Sends in every (serious) DAW...

The .dll alone should suffice. I still have the old one... just not sure if I am allowed to share it.

yeah but it's not the same as a mix knob.

Okay, nothing gives better feelings than a big knob

Agreed!

Thanx, jens!

But first I'll ask Eventide if they can provide the previous version installer.

Both the Eventide Omnipressor and SP2016 plugins capture the characteristics of the original hardware very well.

Both still sound excellent.

Bought a 2nd-hand license from a fellow KVR'ist in the Sell & Buy forum:

Definitely glad I did - many thanks to the helpful posters in this thread who brought it to my attention. I've been discovering a lot of the Eventide plugins this month.

Not sure how they slipped under my radar (except for Blackhole) for so long...

I know there are more compressors out there than bad politicians. This one is not your usual compressor at all. I'd give it a try. You won't find another one like this one.
