Kraftur has been carefully engineered to enrich your mix, allowing you to elevate power and density while preserving the original integrity of its dynamics. Using new, proprietary DSP methods, Kraftur relies on innovative algorithms to avoid artifacts that come with more traditional approaches to soft clipping.
Kraftur can also add clarity, punch or pleasant warmth to almost any audio material. Used on the mix bus, Kraftur helps increase the power of the signal while containing the signal peaks. It can excite the top end to introduce more detail, depth and crispness.
On individual mix elements such as vocals, drums or strings Kraftur is very effective for adding frequency-specific saturation while maintaining the quality and dynamics of the original material. You can add extra punch to your drums, add more presence to your vocals and add clarity to your strings.
When driven harder, Kraftur can also sculpt your sound by inducing pleasant distortion to create some unique colors, warmth and space.
Kraftur makes your audio sound fuller and denser.
As expected from Soundtheory, Kraftur has some unique features:
There are two Kraftur editions available to all users:

Kraftur Focus:
Plugin of the week is Kraftur by Soundtheoryltd (Makers of Gullfoss).
Kraftur is offering soft clip saturation over 3 bands, it uses new algorithms under the hood enabling efficient oversampling as well as precise automatic gain matching while staying latency free!
Also comes with a clever interface for representing peak decibel values using input & output loudness histograms!
Afaik this is new to the plugin world.
Same counts for the red triangle in the top left allowing for a mix between the dry signal, the signal processed by the multiband audio path and the signal processed by another single band soft clipping curve.
There are 2 controls to shape the curve, offset & knee, which you can use after adjusting the drive level for each one to shape the exact onset where the saturation hits the individual frequency bands.
The amount of saturation and peak control next to the unique histograms is represented by visually saturated colors in the bottom horizontal input meter.
No numbers yet, which is a feature request of mine and other users so far.
Same goes for optional linear phase crossovers for the bands, not available yet.
The developer for now refers to a non standard filter design for the crossovers.
But loaded into Plugin Doctor, I see the usual IIR type of full phase rotation on the crossover points.
Personally I would love to see the option for FIR filtering, making Kraftur usable on sources where shifting phase positions would be unaccetable.
Which seems to be another topic of conflict next to oversampling police where imho the "conflict" results in ignoring the context and nature of the processed signal.
Yes FIR filtering would introduce pre ringing, but in psytrance you dont randomly shift the phase of your snare for example which is precisely married to the kick, or vice versa.
On this I really dont know if I am the ignorant, questioning the developers decision there - or the developer is the ignorant, ignoring the existance of music where you really really cant just introduce random crossovers ruining all the presicely crafted waveforms and their interaction.
Lets see what the future of Kraftur will be <3
Also feel free to disuss and correct me.
