Smack VU Compressor NEBULA

Team ARCADiA | 19 January 2026 | 86.75 MB

An early VCA based compressor, considered by many to be among the best of its type for drums, bass, vocals, and more. It’s not without its detractors, with some considering it to be a simple one trick pony, mainly due to the original hardware’s lack of adjustable attack and release controls. The Nebula programs I’ve made here do have added attack and release controls, making it much more flexible. By default the programs load on settings that represent the hardware closest. From there you can adjust the controls and get different behaviors that weren’t possible with the original hardware, while retaining the rest of the original characteristics that got the original labeled a character piece.

Based on this beautiful modern cab from the MLC brand, created to match the MLC S_ZERO93, we replaced the stock VETERAN 30s to add something even more brutal, using LCFR150, KARNIVORE, GRAY WOLF, and MAMZER 30 speakers to deliver an aggressive, brutal sound perfect for Black Metal.

Slick 9k Mk2 NEBULA

Team ARCADiA | 19 January 2026 | 151.65 MB

These programs are ‘based off of’ a pair of rack mounted, ultra clean and clear compressors, which are essentially remakes of the channel compressors that were found in the famous ‘9k’ desks. These are very transparent compressors, but if they do add any color to the sound it might be a slight slickness to the high end (some character also shows through the attack and release behavior). With several dBs of gain reduction, other compressors can start to sound congested in the mids/bass, but these still sound clear and open. They can also be used to give very snappy attacks to percussive elements. These qualities have translated well to the Nebula realm. Two modules were sampled in a stereo configuration.

Rayphlex Compressors Mk2

Team ARCADiA | 17 January 2026 | 222.42 MB

When this set was first released (September 2012) it had the distinction with many Nebula users as being the first Nebula compressor that ‘actually works’. Before this release, Nebula had a reputation with many as not being very good for actual compression, and compressor programs were commonly used just for their tone, in combination with VST plug-ins to do the actual gain reduction. I think it’s more than fair to say that this release helped change all that. The hardware has a great reputation for precision, and being somewhat transparent, while still having its own character. It has lots of controls and features (including an extra high frequency control section, which I sampled for use here), which made it very tricky to sample, but that’s part of what drew me to them. It also has amazing specs as far as noise/distortion goes, and who knows, they may one day be considered a modern classic. Some people seem to think of them as such already.

Raybon & Wyte HP/LP Filters

I wanted to capture as much of the analog sound as possible, so again, I sampled these filters with dynamics. This is still a very rare thing in the Nebula world. The vast majority of EQ/filter related programs out there are non-dynamic. Having sampled dynamics in the filter programs means that for any position of the filter you select, you are getting a dynamic model of the unit for that position. With most EQ/filter libraries, the EQ/filter programs themselves don’t have dynamics and you have to pair them with a pass-through program without filtering which does have dynamics, but this isn’t quite the same because it doesn’t give you the dynamic behavior of the unit for each position of the EQ/filter. The programs in this set do.
