Nylon

Inspired by a unique and captivating circuit, Nylon offers two modes of coloration: Yellow for shimmering highs and Green for robust lows. Both are 'Transparent Overdrive' effects that add subtle harmonic content, gentler than typical saturators.

The Yellow mode mainly generates harmonics at high frequencies, giving a bright, polished ‘shine.’ The Green mode mainly adds saturation at low frequencies, making bass, kick drum, or drum bus more massive and aggressive.

Legendary Hardware Simulations with a Deep Vintage Soul

Deep Vintage is a suite of legendary hardware simulation plugins that will immerse you in real analog magic. Not merely pursuing bona fide circuit replication or specific tonal qualities, Deep Vintage simulates the entirety of sound to reproduce the vintage “soul” in a digital world. Depth, sheen, low-end saturation…every nuance of the hardware’s sonic spirit is ready for you to ignite, with minimal CPU usage and latency.

APNN 2.0

Trained with Three-Body Tech’s proprietary APNN (Audio Processing Neural Network) 2.0, Deep Vintage learns on sound, and sound alone, creating an indistinguishable listening experience from the original hardwares.

APNN 2.0 is a neural network specializes in simulating analog hardwares. During the training process, APNN 2.0 and the hardware will be inputted with the same audio, and APNN 2.0 will learn how the hardware changes the audio in both waveform and spectrum dimensions. This means that a well-trained APNN 2.0 instance can capture both the dynamic and tonal characteristics of its source hardware. 

Multiplex Saturation, Multistage Coloration

With the power of APNN 2.0, Deep Vintage simulates not just specific frequency responses or coloration, but all the subtle 'hardware mojos': dynamics, airness, phase shifts, tube voltage sag, transformer’s “iron sound,“ and more. Whether for subtle coloration, moderate saturation, or crushing the entire audio, its authentic performance will make you forget it's digital.

Independent Harmonics Control

With real hardware, the amount of harmonics is fixed at a given knob setting. However, Deep Vintage introduces surreal flexibility by allowing independent control over harmonics, separate from all other tonal characteristics. This lets you dial in the sonic power of high drive settings while maintaining the purity of a clean tone.

Low Frequency Saturation

The 'iron' sound of audio transformers—gently added low-end girth and saturation—epitomizes the sonic character of real hardware. Deep Vintage not only accurately captures this, but also provides you with the ability to toggle this 'iron' sound on or off, allowing you to switch between transformer or transformer-less versions. Whether you're aiming for a thick or clear tone, it always delivers with exceptional quality.

Re-sampling/Up-sampling

Almost all audio processing networks operates in fixed sample rates, but we’ve made resampling possible by optimizing our networks. The completely redesigned resampling algorithm in Deep Vintage ensures consistent accuracy and fidelity across all sample rates, making the simulation fully sample rate agnostic. Additionally, up to 8x oversampling is supported, effectively eliminating any aliasing issues.
