WVS is the world’s leading developer of audio plugins and signal processors for the professional and consumer electronics audio markets.
Scanner Vibrato is a virtual effect plug-in that aims to recreate the scanner-vibrato effect from a well-known tonewheel organ. The original scanner-vibrato was developed in the 1940s, and was an analog, electromechanical device, consisting of an analog delay line and a mechanical rotor (“scanner”). The rotor was driven by the organ’s internal motor, and therefore its rate was fixed at about 6.9 Hz. The original scanner-vibrato could produce both chorus and vibrato effects, and it offered three depth presets. Read more about the history of the Scanner Vibrato.
Specifically designed for Jazz, Country, slide guitar, accordion, steel guitar, and other instruments and genres that focus on the quality of the amp’s reproduction of the instrument, rather than how much distortion can be produced. Sonatura’s engineers have meticulously reproduced three classic amps that are so rare, most musicians have never even played through them. Working with the Emrad Grand Master (designed specifically for Johnny Smith), the Kay Vanguard 700, and the Haynes Jazz King II, all parameters have been faithfully and meticulously reproduced. We used a combination of neural modeling, circuit emulation, and impulse responses to create the best of all possible worlds. Prefer a standalone amp sim, without having to open up your DAW? We’ve got you covered! The standalone is available for both Mac and PC. The PC version has full ASIO support for extremely low latency. (The Mac version doesn’t require ASIO to have low latency.) There are two sections – the first models each amp with the original controls, and the second models the response of the speakers, through various microphones, as well as the room response of the Fun House, the main studio at PME Records. In addition, the position of each of three mics, the Shure™ SM57, the Sennheiser™ MD421, and the Royer™ R-121 ribbon, can be varied from the center of the cone to the edge, and all points in between. There’s also an E-V™ Re-20 mic on the back of the cabinet. And finally, an ORTF stereo pair is out in the room, with the stereo image and distance delay kept intact. Every channel has Mute, Solo, Volume, and Pan controls, along with an LED meter.
Virta is a patchable toolbox for turning your voice or other instrument into wild new synth sounds. Virta turns voices and instruments into all kinds of wild synth sounds. By combining a low-latency sound analysis module with high-quality synthesis modules in a patchable package, Virta brings something truly new to the world of software synthesizers.
bx_refinement, a powerful and versatile dynamic EQ. It was an instant classic that many use to this day. The new bx_refinement V3 overhauls this essential tool for another decade in the DAW: new code, new features, greater stability, clarity, and control. Now, the simplest solution really is the best.
X-Dither is a high-quality mastering dithering and noise shaping processor. It is designed to handle a wide range of situations where dithering or noise shaping is needed to preserve the quality of an original mix, group, or individual track – at various stages of the recording and mastering process, including final digital mastering. While X-Dither is built for transparent, final-stage dithering, it can also be used creatively to add subtle – or not-so-subtle – lo-fi character to your audio. Try it on drums, vocals, or synths to introduce vintage-style texture, controlled digital grit, or gentle noise shaping – perfect for experimental, retro, or indie styles.
NobleQ combines the features of passive program equalizers with a wide range of frequency settings and extended functionality. To make this plug-in a versatile tool, we added several modern features such as an adjustable high pass filter, and the ability to switch the high peak and shelf filters to “Boost” or “Attenuation” modes. NobleQ stands out for its warm sound, its boost and attenuation low-shelf filters, and its combined peak and shelf high frequency processing. The warm and musical sound in NobleQ is made possible thanks to its finest processing utilizing FAT double sampling for natural, analog-like response. We also added an output valve-like rounding algorithm with adjustable processing depth. The low shelf filter actually combines two shelving sections: the first one allows you to boost low frequencies while the other one attenuates them, but is tuned slightly higher. Together, they help to get a rich bottom end without low-midrange muddiness.
