Product Description

• Compression that goes from extreme to pristine and everywhere in between The perfect tool for modern dynamics processing In addition to delivering great-sounding standard compression
• the elysia mpressor provides advanced creative functions for producing fat and freaky sounds with punch
• beautiful coloration
• and even extreme processing effects. Unleash your creativity with astonishingly unique compression modes The original concept behind the hardware mpressor was to create a more affordable version of elysia’s flagship model
• the alpha compressor. But fans of the brand encouraged elysia’s designers to go for something different and even more creative: a box capable of producing compression effects that no other compressor could achieve—not even the coveted elysia alpha. The result was the mpressor
• a uniquely creative dynamics tool. From clean to colorful with control unlike any other compressor Each linkable channel of the mpressor offers a switchable Auto-Fast function that allows for extremely fast yet distortion-free compression without any artifacts. Meanwhile
• the Anti-Log circuit generates powerful compression effects such as pumping and breathing for extreme compression effects. With its true feed forward design
• the mpressor even allows for negative ratios
• which can deliver extreme over-compression effects. Novel features for novel sounds Equally at home compressing individual tracks and busses
• the mpressor allows you to sculpt sounds that would be impossible with practically any other tool. First
• dial in an extreme setting
• and then use the plugin’s novel Gain Reduction Limiter to choose the maximum amount of Gain Reduction allowed to reel in the effect and make it much more consistent. The included Niveau Filters can easily shift the character of a track from subtle to striking with the option of continuous frequency shifting. The mpressor is a compressor you have to hear to believe Using advanced circuit modeling techniques
• Brainworx faithfully emulated the all analog
• all discrete circuit design of the hardware mpressor
• right down to the single transistor signal processing and permanent class-A mode design. A lot of compressors sound good only when used sparingly
• failing to deliver pleasing results with extreme settings. But the mpressor’s focused
• high-end sound maintains the character of the original audio
• even when using the most extreme settings. While the mpressor works great on many sources
• it is particularly loved by engineers for its ability to deliver punchy drum sounds. Features True Emulation: The compression behavior and the sound character of the hardware version have been faithfully recreated to deliver all the mojo of the analog model. Extreme yet Tight: A lot of compressors sound good only when used sparingly
• and fail to deliver pleasing results at extreme settings. The mpressor’s focused
• high-end class-A sound maintains the character of the original audio
• even when the most extreme settings are used. Killer on Drums: While the mpressor works great on many sources
• it is particularly loved by engineers for its ability to deliver punchy drum sounds Gain Reduction Limiter: Rather than limiting audio in the signal path like traditional limiters
• the mpressor’s unique limiter restricts the virtual control voltage of the plugin itself
• not the audio signal. This allows users to place a cap on the total dBs of gain reduction regardless of how far the input signal is over the set threshold. Negative Ratios: The characteristic compression curve bends and goes back down! This makes available heavy pumping effects
• backward sound effects
• and other unique and useful compression effects no other compressor can achieve. Audio Filter: The mpressor features an easy to use
• very flexible niveau filter
• which works on the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle behind the niveau is quite similar to a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting around a variable center frequency
• the high frequencies are boosted whereas the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa). Oversampling: In order to achieve the best results on lower sample rates
• the mpressor plugin uses an increased internal resolution at 44.1 and 48 kHz. Mouse Wheel Support: The controllers of the mpressor can be moved with the mouse wheel. System Requirements AAX
• VST3 macOS 15 down to macOS 12 Windows 11 down to Windows 10 Benjamin Rice "It's very important to me when working on vocals to have several different options
• styles and flavors of compression to achieve various techniques
• and the mpressor is truly a special tool that I can use to get compression results distinct from any other." Lee Slater "This compressor is no pussy cat. Add movement
• pumping
• punch or pure destruction to your drums quickly and tastefully. I often use it on my lead vocal to bring it close
• personal and intimate. A truly flexible personality-ridden box of awesome. You can really push it to extremes without any negative artifacts." Kenny Moran "Surgical eq and compression! With all of the things I use this compressor for its hard to imagine that it is just a compressor. From taming transients to rounding tone
• the mpressor accentuates portions of -- or all of -- the frequency spectrum. This compressor gets used on everything from individual drums to pianos to vocals."
