ChannelStrip MK2

The HoRNet ChannelStrip MK2 is a workhorse, but high-quality, audio processing plug-in, that is extremely useful in day-to-day mixing tasks. Its equalizer can both shape the tone and be very surgical and its dynamic processors sports three different compressor models and an expander, making it very versatile.

Main Features:

• One Equalizer with:
  • Hi pass and Low pass filters.
  • Hi Shelf inspired by the one found in a famous british console.
  • Low Shelf inspired by the peculiar response of a famous passive EQ.
  • Three parametric bands that with a wide Q range that can be used for tone shaping and surgical filtering.
• Two dynamics processors each with four different compression models:
  • VCA: inspired by the common compressors found in consoles, solid state feed forward versatile compression.
  • FET: an emulation of the character of very fast vintage FET units, it's a feedback compressor and can be very aggressive.
  • OPTO: inspired by a famous tube limiter, its feed forward and has a smooth response.
  • Expander: works as a traditional gate/expander based on a VCA design.
• Module order freely rearrangeable for the desired signal path (ex. Expander -> EQ -> compresor for a typical drum setup, or EQ -> FET compressor -> OPTO compressor for a typical vocal setup).
• Analog emulation that adds saturation (each model has a different saturation type) and other non linearities.
• Each model has a different oversampling level when the option is activated so that the plugin always uses the least amount of CPU.
