Virtual Plug-ins

The complete dynamic processing solution for superior sonic quality and distortion free operation within all fields of demanding audio processing. Primarily designed for mastering and re-mastering applications, making it a really versatile workhorse in the studio.Four dynamic sections work in parallel, compressor, de-compressor, expander and de-expander. Three release modes (manual, auto, and advanced) are available. In advanced mode the minimum and maximum release values are user adjustable. An Auto Delay function allows zero attack times by introducing a delay line in the processed signal. The side chain features a three-band equalizer to generate frequency sensitive processing. Angel's Share is the parameter controlling the amount of auto-ratio determined by the signal dynamics and the manual ratio setting. Hysteresis is the parameter controlling the amount of auto-threshold determined by the signal dynamics and the manual threshold value. Angel's Share and Hysteresis are key features of all Flux:: dynamic processors because they make use of the dynamic range content of the signal, and not just the signal levels as standard processors do.Many new functions have been added to the original Solera. External side chain inputs are now available. New dynamic detection algorithms are available. The Hysteresis and Angel's Share parameters are now independent for each dynamic section. Each dynamic section now has a Hold parameter and a Threshold for Hysteresis. Classic modes and Feedback modes are now available for signal level detection, completing the legacy Solera mode. A Maximum mode can be engaged on the Hysteresis control, allowing processing that takes into account maximum values of both the standard and the Hysteresis detection schemes.Our exclusive A / B morphing system, allows instant and efficient global control of processing. The preset manager allows you to save global presets made up of two different presets including the A / B morphing slider position. Note also that factory presets are provided for every plug-in.  Solera II manages digital audio up to 384 KHz, and up to 8 channels. This is the native version of the plug-in for AU, RTAS and VST.The DSP based Pyramix version is available from the Merging Technologies sale network.For the full feature set, hover your mouse over the small images to the right above. Signal Processing Features Input/Output gain controls for adjusting the levels before and after processing.Phase invert of the processed signal.Dry Mix control (Dry/Wet with gain compensation) allowing for parallel processing or for blending some of the original "peak" into the processed signal.Clipper, a discrete peak limiter at the very last stage of the processing chain rounding off the peaks smooth and musically.Bypass routes the incoming signal direct to the output for a true smooth transition between processed and clean signal.Preset and Parameter Handling Preset/Parameter slotsTo enhance the workflow the two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time. Apart from saving each preset, a "Global Preset" containing both the A and B settings, and the position of the "Morphing Slider", can be saved. Parameter Morphing Slider with AutomationThe Morphing Slider provides morphing between the parameter settings of slot A/B allowing for really creative and useful real-time tweaking. Enabling the Automation control button exposes the Morphing Slider to the host automation. Processing Specifications Solera II, as all Flux:: plug-ins, provideUp to 8 channels Input/Output.64-bits internal floating point processing.Sampling rate up to 384 kHz DXD (Pyramix DSP based).Sampling rate up to 384 kHz for native (AU/RTAS/VST). Compatibility All major native formats are supported Windows - XP, Vista, 7 all in both 32 and 64 bits.VST (2.4)RTAS*Mac OS X - 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 in 32 bits.VST (2.4)AURTAS**The RTAS version requires ProTools 7 or later.

When we started sketching our new plug-in project, our aim was to create a versatile and truly musical dynamics processor, which handles the dynamics in a way that allows you to be creative, without a complicated user interface.The result is Syrah, a new generation dynamics processor utilizing real time dynamic detection and level dependent processing, providing adaptive dynamic capabilities, which mean that Syrah is always trying to adapt to the music and to the beat of the material.Using parts of our exquisite ‘BitterSweet’ technology, our new adaptive-dynamics technology, and our well-recognized level independent dynamics processing, Syrah will be well suited as a creative versatile processor for recording and mixing, as well as for delicate and demanding mastering tasks.User Interface and WorkflowAs you may notice, the controls are not the usual suspects found on a dynamics processor, instead, the controls provided typically affect more than one parameter in the underlying algorithms, with everything carefully tweaked allowing for creative processing still ensuring the finest sound achievable.The built in preset manager and the preset morphing slider, provides instant and intuitive control of all parameters and controls. In a second, with a simple one-click operation, everything is copied from one of the two preset slots to the other. even during playback. Except for only A/B comparing two set of parameters, the morphing slider will allow for mixing them, and if desired, record the morph with the host automation.With the built in preset manager, you can save a complete snapshot (called a Global Preset) with all the settings from both of the preset slots, as well as the position of the preset morphing slider, allowing for instant recall of your morphing set.Specifications:Availability Syrah v3 is available in the following configurations:Native - AU / VST / AAX Native+AAX DSP - AU / VST / AAX Native / AAX DSPMerging VS3 MassCore/NativeProcessing Specifications Syrah v3, as all Flux:: plug-ins, provideUp to 8 channels Input/Output.64-bits internal floating point processing.Sampling rate up to 384 kHz DXD (Pyramix & Ovation MassCore/Native)Sampling rate up to 384 kHz for native (AU/VST/AAX).Compatibility Windows - XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8,1 all in both 32 and 64 bits.VST (2.4)AAX Native/DSPMerging VS3 (Only in Windows 7 32/64 bits)Mac OS X (Intel) - 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 in both 32 and 64 bits.VST (2.4)AUAAX Native/DSP

The Inflator is a unique process that can provide an increase in the apparent loudness of almost any programme, without obvious loss of quality or audible reduction of dynamic range, yet avoiding damaging increases in the peak level of the signal. The inflator process can also bring power, presence and warmth to programme material and even provide headroom overload margin above digital maximum with a subtlety and musical character reminiscent of tube systems. Use the Inflator to produce louder mixes than you thought possible without overloads or compression pumping, or use it to add natural warmth and character to acoustic or jazz mixes.          FEATURES Increases the loudness of almost any programme material. Creates warmth, character and dynamic excitement, similar to that of analogue systems. Provides virtual headroom above digital maximum to allow percussive peaks to pass without causing signal overload. Creates artistic effects ranging from subtle tube-like harmonic characteristics for warmth, presence and 'in your face' fatness, to outright saturation distortion modelling. Features two modes of operation - direct and band split - for maximum flexibility and artistic creativity. These two modes also ensure optimal DSP usage.

The Sonnox Transient Modulator is an application that allows dynamic level of signals to be modified by the transients in the programme material over time. The effect is to bring transient events in the programme forwards, or push them into to the background, such that the attacks of instruments can be accentuated or softened depending on settings.        FEATURES Radically changes the dynamics of instruments. Accentuates or flattens attacks and transients. Brings sounds forward or push them back. Increases or reduces the effects of ambience. Produces rounded and dynamic percussive effects. Hardens up and give life to dull or flat-sounding recordings and mixes, without the unwanted changes in overall timbre associated with multi-band compression techniques. Variable harmonic enhancement for extra loudness, presence and 'punch'. Increases overall modulation potential by the reduction of very short peaks.
