Cotorro Audio RIPUL-1 Analog Saturator VST3RIPUL ("ripple"): Responsive, Inverted, Partial, Unsymmetrical, & Lumped. The RIPUL-1 analog saturator is a distortion tool that offers tons of analog character as well as a soft-knee limiter. Transform and enhance your drum mixes, vocals, and bass tracks with this fiery addition to your mixing arsenal. You can also create sheer sonic mayhem with this tool. This VST3 implementation is a refined version of the standalone RIPUL-1. RIPUL-1 features: Tube-like saturation (input gain) between 0 dB and 20 dB. Output gain between -24 dB and 6 dB. A choice of either stereo or dual mono output useful for often centered vocals or bass. A soft-knee limiter with a configurable threshold between -12 dB and 0 dB. Leave this setting close to 0 dB for a more "breathing" sound. An analog section that provides various effects based on old hardware, such as hysteresis (subtle input-output lag), electrical noise, and capacitor smearing. This section also functions as a pronounced low-pass filter at higher settings. Mix control to set the wet to dry signal ratio. 4x oversampling. Stereo output metering. Note: If your input (stereo) audio has transients that hit one channel harder than the other, the saturation and analog emulation may magnify those differences in that channel. Installation: Unzip and copy Ripul-1.vst3 into your audio plugin folder. This is usually c:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. Read More
