Noise
The plugin adds a very low amount of noise that is usually
inaudible (the noise oor). It can be turned off here.

Lim. Sensitivity
The hardware compressor/limiter sensitivity can be too high
for modern mixing. The user can lower the input and increase
the output to lower the sensitivity, but the output gain range is
limited.
This plugin adds a sensitivity setting in the menu to chose
between :

• Normal (the same as the original circuit)

• Mid (-7dB)

• Low (-15dB)

Meters
Level meter
Shows the dBu input or output level, depending on the preamp module corresponding switch
position.

Gain reduction meter

Show the compressor / expander gain reduction in dB.

Preamp
THD
Controls the amount of harmonic distortion of the circuits. The middle position corresponds to the
normal behavior of the emulated circuit.

Gain
Input gain.

-20 dB Pad
Reduces the volume before the input, and before the input meter.

Meter
Controls what is measured in the level meter, input (signal coming into the plugin, after -20dB pad)
or output (signal going out of the plugin).

Unity
Activates a unity gain mode: the input gain is compensated after the output of the plugin. If the -20
dB pad is active, it is also compensated by a 20 dB boost on the output.

High
+ / - 10 dB high shelf lter, at [ 6, 10, 14 ] kHz.

Mid
+ / - 16 dB continuous peaking lter, at [ 0.7, 1, 1.4, 2, 2.8, 3.5, 4.5, 6 ] kHz.

Bass
0 to +16 dB peaking lter at [ 60, 100, 200, 300 ] Hz.
-15 to 0 dB shelving lter at 50Hz in 3 dB steps.

In
Enables the 3 band equalizer circuit.

Pre / Post
Controls if the equalizer is inserted before or after the compressor / expander.

Filter
High pass lter operating at [ 40, 80 ] Hz. The low position turns the lter off.

 Compressor - Expander
SC HPF
Controls the frequency of the compressor side chain high pass lters.
In the full anti-clockwise position, these lter is deactivated. When this lter is active, a label
displays the lter frequency above the knob.

Mix
Controls the amount of unprocessed ("DRY") and processed ("WET") signals mixed together at the
compressor output.

Limit
Activates The limiter. The limiter threshold is xed but the compressor / limiter sensitivity can be
adjusted in the menu.

Ratio
Compression ratio when the signal is above the compression threshold.

Release
Controls the time it takes to recover after compression.
The « auto » setting has a different release time for fast or long audio peaks.

Attack
3 position attack timing [ Fast: 0.025ms, Mid: 2.5ms, Slow: 25ms ].

Threshold
Compressor side chain level over which the plugin will start compressing the signal.
The threshold is relative to the xed limiter threshold.

 Input - Output
Adjust the limiter threshold with the input gain, and use the output gain as a makeup gain.

In
Activates the compressor and the expander/noise gate.

Niveau
Activates a lter on the compressors side chains to compensate the natural 3 dB/oct slope of music.
It helps to get a natural and transparent kind of mastering compression.

Smash
Boosts the input by 20db and compensates the output gain to unity gain. Use this feature for
bombastic drums and hard pumping vocals.

Suggested operation
Switch the limiter on and compression threshold at 0dB.
Adjust the Input knob until the limiter ashes on all the signal peaks.
Adjust the output knob to get the desired peak level on the plugin output level meter.
Lower the compression threshold until the limiter ashes only for the highest peaks.

Range
Amount of gain reduction when the expander/gate is active.

Release
Release timing [ Fast: 25ms … Slow: 1.6s ].

Attack
Attack timing [ Fast: 0.02ms, Mid: 2.5ms, Slow: 40ms ].

Threshold
Below this level, the expander / noise gate will close.

Mode
In the middle position, the expander / noise gate is off. It can be switched to operate in expander
(down) or noise gate (up) modes.
The expander operates in feed forward mode and the noise gate in feed back mode.

Hold
Holds the expander/gate open a little moment after it opened, even if the signal level has already
dropped below the threshold.

Inv.
Inverts the Expander/Gate operation. The signal is reduced when its level is above the threshold.

TMT
TMT technology is provided by Brainworx. It models the real life electronic components value
variations from the theoretical schematics value.

Previous / Next
Switches to the previous or next virtual channel of the console.
When used in stereo multi channel tracks, consecutive TMT channel are used.

Link
Affects the same virtual channel to left and right, so they are processed exactly the same way and
the stereo isn't affected.

Random ONE
Choses random TMT channels.

Random ALL
Choses random TMT channels for all the plugin instances in the session.

Channel Number(s)
Displays the TMT channel number(s). On this picture the stereo track will use TMT channels 11 (Left)
and 12 (Right).

Track Name
Displays the track name in the DAW. This feature is compatible with : ProTools, Logic Pro, Cubase,
Reaper (VST3), Ableton Live, Studio One (AU).

Inverts the signal phase.

Level fader
Output level of the plugin. The fader is inserted before the last ampli cation stage and output
transformer so it has an impact on the amount of harmonic distortion.
