SCULPT is built on top of four dynamic modules that run in parallel. Combined, these modules form the ultimate dynamics, tone, and transient shaping workhorse.
This plug-in models British-made preamps, compressors, equalizers, and transmitters. It models multiple actual units, including vintage units, recent units, and modified units, and can be used in combination with them. Model N Channel is not just modeling the sound of the original preamp, comp, and EQ alone. It features modeling of the sound qualities and tones routed in large recording studios, including sounds through British consoles, cables, bantam patch bays, and even AD/DA, which can add a strong analog texture.
Zenith is an advanced MIDI processor that allows any continuous controllers in a device to be modified by an independent sequencer lane, with each lane running at a unique rate and number of steps. Take control of hardware and software instruments like never before. Unlock and hack functionality. Write patterns and design sound with unparalleled flexibility. As a feature-rich MIDI processor with a host of filters, chorder, scaler, LFOs, envelopes, and 24 x 32 step sequencers controlling MIDI CCs, pitch, velocity and gate at a variety of rates – with complex tools and presets for modifying lanes. Or as a handy custom interface for simply controlling MIDI and SysEx receiving gear.
Create any sound. Six fully flexible source slots let you build unique sounds, drawing on a wide range of synthesis engines. A wavetable oscillator with a library of bespoke waveforms combined with a high-resolution multi-sampler, a granular engine, FM and more to provide an infinite palette of sounds and textures.
Richter is a tectonic compressor, designed to achieve heavy compression with a minimal amount of artifacts. It is the result of many years of experimenting in the Klevgrand labs. Normally a heavily compressed audio signal gets distorted, often with a nasty “zipper noise” artifact because of how the internal envelope followers are engineered. The experiments led to a brand new approach resulting in a compressor that empowers you to squeeze every bit of sonic perfection out of your tracks. Use it for meaty mixes, punchy drums or smooth, transparent vocal tracks. Due to how the algorithm is designed, there are a few unconventional controls to tame Richter. First of all: one single parameter controls how much compression will get applied. The other (important) parameter controls how the internal envelope follower will react to transients vs continuous/lasting sounds. These two parameters make Richter a highly intuitive compressor where the user quickly will be able to dial in the wanted sound. On top of that there’s a boost switch that literally makes the amount span go to eleven. And, as the name suggests, earthquake levels are possible.
Modnetic offers comprehensive emulation of classic analog tape delay hardware from the 1970’s. In fact Modnetic gives you four powerful effects in one: delay, reverb, modulation and tone. No mere slavish analog emulation, Modnetic also has a few digital twists…
Diffuse is inspired by classic hardware delay and reverb effects from the 1970’s and 1980’s. It takes a Surreal Machines look at the frontier between delays and reverbs. Diffuse is an analog/digital hybrid – an analog modelled delay fused with a classic reverb design used in early digital units. In Diffuse you get more than the best of both worlds – you can morph between delays and reverbs, and find all kinds of fantastical sounds in between the two! You’ll also find plenty of nonlinearities and smooth tape-style delay changes. In Diffuse, all engine parameters are decoupled from the user parameters and simplified into elegant macros to give you complete control over smearing, echoes and damping in the most intuitive way possible.
