Expurgate

Expurgate is described as the most advanced noise-detecting, circuit modelled, MIDI sample accurate, zero-latency, ultra-fast, lookahead, linear-phase sub-band gate.

Overview:

• State of the art gating and expansion.
• Noise detector for automatic gating.
• Quick, simple, ergonomic interface.
• Circuit models of classic gates.
• Configurable from zero-latency, ultra-low CPU to oversampled ultra-high resolution.
• Ultra-low attack times when the safety is disabled.
• External sidechain for triggered gating.
• Global Bypass for all instances in a session.
• Sample-accurate MIDI triggering as gate or ducker.
• Three-band sidechain EQ, and massively configurable Split EQ.
• Separated mode, allowing fine mixing control.
• Per-channel or ganged control.
• M/S and L/R processing.
• Large, intuitive time-plot.
• Windows VST, VST3 and AAX as 32+64-bit, RTAS 32-bit.
• Mac VST, VST3, AU and AAX as 32+64-bit, RTAS 32-bit.

Sound:

• Linear Phase crossover (Split) EQ.
• Zero-latency minimum phase mode, with Linkwitz-Riley crossovers.
• Variable lookahead to avoid losing transients.
• Oversampling mode to eliminate intermodulation distortions.
• Full mixer section.
• Ducking and upwards compression.
• Threshold, Ratio, Soft-knee, Gain-Reduction Depth and Hysteresis.
• Variable Stereo linkage.
• Complete set of Listen options for monitoring, including signal difference (output-input).
• Automatic detection of noise in signals.

Vision:

• Simple three-control interface.
• Advanced section for precision control.
• Spectrum analyser for tuning sidechain EQ.
• Time-plot to highlight signal detection.
• Freely-resizable UI.
• Mac Retina support.
• 8 A/B banks.
• Intelligent Undo/Redo.
• Ergonomic channel linkage system.
• Autolisten for configuring filters.
