What SPC2000 Serial/Parallel Compressor HD v7 does
The plugin is organized around a serial/parallel compression architecture, and the developer lists several combinations that can be built from it. Compression curve modelling and analog saturation modelling are both part of the processing chain.
Processing runs with zero latency algorithms and double precision processing. Multiple peak detection circuits are offered, with several circuit types the developer describes as providing flexibility otherwise found only in owning separate hardware. Multi-compressor control linking keeps the stages in step. The high definition user interfaces were updated in this version, and a native version is available alongside the HD version, which the developer notes is intended for AAX DSP users.
Key features
- Couple routing. Couple routing allows the unit to emulate other compressors, according to the developer.
- Multiple peak detection circuits. Several peak detection circuit types are offered, and the developer presents them as flexibility previously available only through owning separate units.
- Analog saturation modelling. An analog saturation model is included as part of the processing path.
- Zero latency and double precision. The developer lists zero latency algorithms and double precision processing as part of the design.
Compatibility
Native Apple Silicon support is listed. Activation uses iLok, with two activations per license. A trial is available.
