What Trident A-Range does
Only thirteen A-Range consoles were ever built, and the Softube version reproduces that exact model. The four bands integrate with one another in ways the developer describes as sometimes unpredictable, so the result is often different from what a standard parametric curve would suggest. The developer presents the equalizer as more of a musical instrument than a strictly scientific tool.
Driving the modeled console hard produces saturation, and a separate Saturation control lets the user choose the amount without changing the input level. The developer notes that turning the drive down reduces CPU load, while pushing it up brings out the character of the Trident A-Range. The channel also includes high and low pass filters alongside the four bands. The Trident A-Range is available as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and RTAS on Windows and macOS (64-bit), and it is one of several Softube products that circulate as a crack, keygen and serial key download. The Trident A-Range crack is packed as a repack, .rar or .iso, and queries pair the name with torrent, magnet link and working serial.
Key features
- Four-band equalization. The channel offers four equalizer bands whose frequency and gain interact, and the developer says their combined behavior often produces a result that differs from expectations.
- High and low pass filters. Filters are included in the channel alongside the four equalizer bands, so the signal can be cut at either end of the spectrum.
- Console drive. Driving the modeled console hot introduces the distortion and saturation the developer describes as the channel’s characteristic sound.
- Separate Saturation control. A dedicated Saturation control sets the saturation amount, letting the user choose it directly instead of adjusting the drive alone.
Compatibility
The plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and RTAS for Windows 10 and later and for macOS in 64-bit builds, with native Apple Silicon support listed. Activation uses iLok.
