Cotorro Audio Releases Summer Channel System (SCS) Virtual Summing Solution (VST3 Windows)

Cotorro Audio has announced the release of Summer Channel System (SCS), an emulated console summing solution designed to offer the unique baseline sound of a brand new virtual recording console, the Cotorro CT-1. While completely original, this design takes cues from the large-format desks of the 1970s.

SCS comes in a single plugin that can be used on both individual channels and the master bus. The channel mode is optimized for punch and character. The master bus mode prioritizes headroom with a wider crosstalk spread and a gentler saturation curve; it also adds a touch of high frequency presence.

Summer Channel System features:

• A design created for maximum "glue".
• Channel crosstalk, analog noise, and power sag emulation.
• Boost-mode for extra fiery saturation.
• Settings for drive, mix (wet to dry ratio), crosstalk, and output gain.
• Group-switch to adjust drive and mix across all instances of the plugin.
• A toggle switch for channel/master bus operation.
• Analog-calibrated VU-meter.
• Global Bypass-button for toggling all instances of the plugin on/off.

This plugin has been verified by Pluginval at strictness level 10.

Pricing & Availability

The Summer Channel System is priced at $24.99 and is available as a VST3 plugin for Windows 10/11 at cotorroaudio.itch.io/summer-channel-system

A free demo version is also available for download; it cuts out the output periodically but works forever.
