Multiple Modes with Infinite Combinations :
In Xtressor, each multiplier is its own compressor, with unique attack, release and knee characteristics. Customize its tone even more with “DIST” modes that add 2nd or 3rd order harmonics for a tube or tape-like drive. Or try the “British” mode for fast and furious all-button compression that delivers the catchy character of the iconic pump and breath effects heard on countless major releases.
Subdue harsh signals with side chains and saturation :
The Xtressor’s tuned sidechain filter options help to cut out the rumble and harshness from jagged signals, allowing you to get the punchy detail and smoothness of analog sound at the same time. The plugin also adds additional hardware emulation with a dedicated Saturation section. It provides not only tape-like harmonics, but also a custom WARMTH control that adds high-frequency compression to soften the fragile edges of sounds that are too thin and harsh.
Only digital functions for even easier operation :
Kiive Audio takes this emulation to the next level with plug-in-only options such as dual fade controls for the compression and saturation sections, as well as an I/O link control that makes sound typing even easier than the original.
