OD Ancora – named after the Latin word for "anchor" – is a stereo image correction processor that intelligently anchors the stereo field for improved mono compatibility. Three primary parameters provide intuitive control of the operation, each freely adjustable over frequency:
- Depth adjusts how strongly corrections are applied, bringing excessively wide elements closer to a controlled stereo field.
- Timing defines how quickly the processor responds to changes in the stereo content.
- Target sets the threshold at which correction begins, preserving the natural stereo field below.
Introductory price is €99 (until end of March 2026, €129 thereafter). DeEdger and/or Finesse license owners receive an additional 20% discount, visible in their user account.
Ancora is available at the Tokyo Dawn Labs store:

The Demo version includes all features, but parameter settings are not saved within the project.
Big thanks to Fabien & Vlad at Tokyo Dawn Labs and to our beta testers for their support!
