Saturation EQ · Public beta

Omen

Saturation EQ. Four bands, and each can be an EQ, a compressor or a spectral processor, with its own saturation stage.

Tone, movement, energy, and what happens between instances. An omen is the sign that comes before the event.

OOmSaturation

Saturation in every band.

Six saturation curves, from a soft bend to iron. Every band drives its own, so the harmonics land where you are already shaping the tone, and HEAT runs one over the whole signal. The red layer under the spectrum is what the saturation adds.

  • Six curves
  • DRIVE on every band
  • HEAT on the whole signal
  • What it adds, drawn live

MMovementModulation

Any dial can move.

Up to 32 routes from LFOs, random sources, drawn envelopes, followers, macros and MIDI to almost any dial. The random source can arrive early to land on the beat, or let the music pick its values, and the same take always gives the same ones.

  • 32 routes
  • LFO · RAND · MSEG · FOLLOW
  • 8 macros · 8 MIDI sources
  • Random that repeats

EEnergyDynamics

Every band is a processor.

Any band can be a dynamic EQ, a compressor for its slice of the spectrum, or SPCT, which splits that slice into narrow sections and evens each one out against its neighbours. Open a band and its strip holds the rest: detector, timing, transient against body, and stereo.

  • EQ · COMP · SPCT per band
  • Transient / body per band
  • M/S or L/R per band
  • Clipper and limiter

NNoveltyLink

One track can move another.

Put Omen on the drum bus and on the vocal. The drum Omen's LFOs, followers and envelopes now show up in the vocal's matrix as sources: route one to a dial and the vocal moves with the drums, with no sidechain routing in the DAW. FLEX can follow another Omen too, so the vocal's EQ tightens when the drums hit.

  • Sources from other tracks
  • Up to 8 linked sources
  • FLEX follows other tracks
  • A lost source holds its value

If you're interested, give it a try. Some things may not work as expected yet. But if you like what you see and can see the potential in it, I'd love to hear from you: what you like and what you don't, what works and what doesn't, and what you would like to see in it.

And if you just want to say hello, I'd be even happier to hear from you.
