From compressors inspired by a vintage Japanese sampler to tape effects without tape-machine graphics, the Goodhertz plug-in range offers something a bit different.
There are numerous emulations of the classic Lexicon 480 hardware reverb, but not all of them model the optional Surround Cart that greatly extended its capabilities. HD Cart from Reverb Foundry is intended to fill that gap.
Oeksound have developed an algorithm that can automatically identify problem areas in a source and, rather than imposing fixed EQ, Soothe applies attenuation dynamically as and when it’s needed.
Quantakor is a super-simple instrument plug-in that plays back sample-based audio from a preset library, which can then be modified in quite basic ways using envelope shapers, LFO, filter and reverb.
VoxDoubler is part of a new, much simpler, series of effects and tools that delivers the kind of sonic quality you’d expect from Sonnox, using only a small number of controls.
Software instruments range from the massive and deep, such as Spectrasonics Omnisphere, to the very basic. Psychedelic FX 6000 V1 definitely inhabits the simpler end of the spectrum — and that’s all part of its appeal.
MangledVerb first appeared as an algorithm in the rackmount Eventide Eclipse effects units. It then migrated to the H9 guitar pedal, and is now available as a self-contained plug-in supporting all the usual formats.
RZ062 is a faithful recreation of a valve EQ that was made by Siemens in the 1950s — or rather, of two different valve EQs, because Audified have modelled both ‘A’ and ‘B’ versions of this processor as separate plug-ins.
