Lacuna

Lacuna is a digital electricity engine designed by Sabol Hill to bridge the gap between the analog and digital experience of mixing music. The plugin's special quality comes from its core feature, Current, which gives the user access to a whole new class of hardware-behavior technology.

Lacuna is a tone, width, and movement playground: part stereo animator, part EQ, part saturator, giving you the real experience of hardware with the precision and recall of a plugin.

Features include:

• Pre & Post Filters: Separate input and output, high and low pass filters to better shape the signal along the way.
• Equalizer: 4-Band EQ for shaping the source, including solo modes to fine-tune frequency boundaries, CURRENT, SATURATION, DRIFT and LEAN on each band.
• Current: a unique per-band motion system that makes the spectrum subtly evolve over time—especially in stereo—imparting width, depth, and life. So long as CURRENT is engaged, the plugin will never null with itself.
• Saturation: World class physics-based saturation technology with TAPE, TUBE, and TRANSFORMER modes that all behave as real as their hardware counterparts.
• Drift: When activated on any or all EQ bands, DRIFT improves the perception of width and separation within that specific band.
• Lean: When activated on any or all EQ bands, LEAN enhances stereo separation, placing the source in a slightly different space without sounding panned.
• Character Presets: Three, out of the box, high-level tonal personalities - INFRA / TERRA / SUPRA - that can be used (or bypassed) to quickly add character with under-the-hood EQ curves.

NOTE: Internally, LACUNA runs at 2× oversampling by default to reduce aliasing and keep the saturation stage sounding natural and "hardware-clean" even at higher drive levels
