Envolution is a frequency-dependent envelope shaper with separate transient and sustain sections, to radically re-shape the envelope of your instruments or audio.
Use a broader tilt mode or the more parametric-style focus mode to choose which frequencies are processed.
Insert on a track, bus or even master output to add presence/distance to drums, piano, guitar and any other percussive content. Boost sustain to make the ambience around a recording bloom, or cut it for quick and precise gating.
We love the more creative and extreme side of the plug-in too; like using the DIFF button to generate negative ratio compression effects.
Features
- Frequency-dependent control of Transients & Sustain
- Tilt/parametric targeting of frequencies to process
- DIFF button to solo the effect

Reviews Summary
While it aims to provide a helpful overview, it may not capture every perspective or detail. We encourage you to read individual reviews to make an informed decision.
Oxford Envolution is highly praised as a top-tier, professional transient shaping plugin from Sonnox. Users consistently highlight its precise and powerful control over attack, sustain, hold, and decay, noting that it delivers exceptionally natural-sounding results even with heavy boosts. It is particularly valued for shaping drums, percussion, and acoustic instruments, offering more advanced options and variables than competing shapers while remaining quick and efficient to use.
