Drumformer is a multi-band drum and master track dynamics processing plug-in for professional music and audio production applications. Drumformer was designed to be a comprehensive solution for the broadest range of sound processing tasks.
Drumformer can operate in broadband, 2-band and 3-band modes, with each band having compressor-expander and saturation modules. The sound of the compressor can be defined as "gluey with a ping", because it instantly creates a "tight and glued together" sound while emphasizing the transients. The saturation module offers a choice between six saturation modes, each having a smooth sound and differing harmonic content.
Drumformer features a precise gate module with a round sound and multifaceted controls that is useful when you are processing a multi-tracked drum kit. The built-in parametric equalizer with its spectrum analyzer will also come in handy. The "Clipper" module which is a part of the plug-in allows the user to get artistic master output clipping effects.

A very useful multiband compressor. Great on vocals and synths too. Good adjustable GUI. Sound is clean and smooth. Includes an input gate and output clipper, and adjustable saturation on each band. Plus a built in EQ which looks, operates, and sounds like the excellent Gliss EQ in Lite form.
Could benefit from just a bit more complexity. The compression activation function could be adjustable like in the Deft Compressor. It would also be helpful if the compressors could be routed in series while bypassing the frequency crossover.
The only negative feature is the 16ms latency which limits its use while recording.
