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