INTENSITY 2

Detail | Clarity | Density | Loudness

INTENSITY is a new kind of audio processor for mixing, mastering and sound design. Built on techniques typically found in facial recognition algorithms, INTENSITY brings out a sound’s inherent detail, increases its perceived loudness and density, and adds insane amounts of clarity. The unique algorithm carves out important signal features – making sounds sound more like themselves – and is operated with essentially one control. Between the proprietary algorithm and an optional soft-knee saturating limiter in the plugin’s output stage, INTENSITY also excels at attaining maximum loudness and creating a beautifully aggressive tone.

MORPH 3 PRO

Real-Time Audio Morphing & Style Transfer

MORPH 3 is a real-time plug-in for audio morphing, the sonic equivalent of one object slowly changing its shape to become a different object - for example, one face becoming another.

Features

• 4 New morphing algorithms: INTERWEAVE V3, IMPRINT SMOOTH, IMPRINT CRYSTAL, ENHARMONIC. The entire suite of V2 algorithms is included, too, of course, for a total of 9 algorithms.
• New MODELER module that provides particle/granular synthesis based style transfer functionality, as well as straight file playback.
• Improved FORMANT SHIFTER with +-24 semitones of range; the v2 formant shift algorithm can be activated for the v2 algorithms to get the exact same v2 sound, using a prefs setting.
• New TRANSIENT BYPASS module that can significantly improve the morphing results. The transients are taken at the A and B inputs to the morphing, and added back in, with their mix controlled by the morphing X/Y control. The transients can be boosted, and may also bypass the formant shifter for increased crispness. 
• Optional internal double precision processing - internal processing can be switched to 64 bit for increased resolution.
• New soft-knee output limiter.
• Redesigned, scalable UI with interactive-signal-flow-diagram design, built using vector graphics for sharp visuals when zooming, with up to 200% UI scaling for 4k and larger displays.

UNVEIL

UNVEIL: De-Reverberation and Signal Focusing

UNVEIL is a real-time, de-mixing-based plug-in that allows attenuating or boosting reverb components within a mixed signal of any channel count, including mono sources, as well as modifying reverb characteristics. Additionally, UNVEIL allows you to bring the key features of a recording into focus, or move them to the background, by attenuating or boosting perceptually less important signal components. Based on our proprietary, artificial intelligence-based MAP (Mixed-Signal Audio Processing) technology, UNVEIL allows fixing previously unusable location audio and dialogue, tightening up live music recordings, removing reverb and “mud” from musical signals, as well as creative sound design.

Features

• Audio engineers can attenuate reverb in recordings
• Film mixers and dialogue editors can remove reverb from dialogue and location sound
• Music producers can turn vintage drum loops rich in reverb into dry recordings, and vice-versa
• Foley artists can remove ambience from sub-optimally captured sounds
• Mix and mastering engineers can bring key mix elements into focus by attenuating components commonly referred to as "mud"

UNFILTER

Adaptive Tonal Contour Linearization

UNFILTER is a real-time plug-in that removes filtering effects, such as comb filtering, resonance, or excessive equalization - effectively linearizing the frequency response of a signal automatically. UNFILTER can also apply a detected filter response to another signal, or export it to disk as an impulse response, and can even perform mastering grade adaptive, free-form, and graphic equalization. Whether you're in music production, film post, game audio, broadcast, sound design, forensics, or engineering - UNFILTER makes time-consuming and often impossible tasks as effortless as adjusting one control.

Features

• Automatically detect and remove resonances, equalization, roll-offs and the effects of comb filtering from musical,  location, dialogue and surveillance recordings.
• Apply the measured filter response to other signals to place them in the same "acoustic world".
• Export the measured filter response to or import it from a linear- or minimum-phase impulse response file (WAV).
• Mastering grade adaptive, free-form and graphic equalization.
• Extremely steep 96dB/octave shelving high-pass filter.
• Output limiter for unsupervised use in batch processing applications.
• Highly time-efficient workflow and UI
• For an overview of the use cases for UNFILTER in sound for picture, music production/mastering, sound design, broadcast or forensics, please have a look at the UNFILTER applications page.

UNCHIRP

Codec Artifact Removal & Transient Retrieval

UNCHIRP is a plug-in for removing the most obnoxious artefacts associated with lossy audio encoding and other FFT-based processes, such as spectral de-noising. Reduce musical noise, suppress high-frequency chirping (also known as underwater sound, warbling or the tweeties), fix transient smearing, and restore lost high frequencies – UNCHIRP does it all in one go. If you need to salvage poorly encoded music, speech that has gone through a low bit rate uplink, material that has been de-noised too strongly, or footage recorded with consumer mobile devices – or if you simply want to add contour and vibrance to already great sounding recordings – UNCHIRP is your (only) friend.

Features

• Suppression of high frequency "chirping" artefacts.
• Reduction of "musical noise" artefacts.
• Transient Synthesis to augment or replace smeared, over-limited or otherwise compromised transients.
• Psycho-Acoustically optimized Treble Boost circuit with Enhance and Excite modes.
• Break-Point Curve Editor-based frequency-dependent processing.
• Side-only algorithm mode for working with joint-stereo encoded material.
• HD algorithm mode for increased quality processing with higher CPU load (off-line processing recommended).
• SYNC parameter allows processing to be synchronized to signal transients for increasing clarity.
• Output limiter for unsupervised use in batch processing applications.
• Highly time-efficient workflow and UI.

PITCHMAP

It's Full Of Stars

PITCHMAP is the world's first and only plug-in that allows processing the pitch of individual sounds within mixed signals in real-time. It lets you change the melodies and harmonies of any recording by simply playing your own on a MIDI keyboard or creating a pitch map using our stream-lined GUI, and optionally corrects any tuning issues at the same time. As if that weren't enough, PITCHMAP provides functions to suppress individual sounds within a mix, and can apply advanced synthesizer-like sound transformations to your audio. In short, it is an inspiring musical instrument, a precision corrective tool and the only processor that literally lets you shape music with your hands.
