Product Description

• Genius expanded. A secret weapon to some
• a hidden treasure to the rest
• the Valley People Dyna-mite is a Swiss army knife limiter/expander design with unique character that has inspired engineers to do crazy things with sound for decades. Now it’s more versatile and easier to use than ever. Adding two hyper-focused plug-ins based on the same sound
• we’ve boiled it down into a simple
• modern package. Meet Dyna-mite Slam
• and Dyna-mite Gate! Paul Buff built custom gear for Frank Zappa. Need we say more? The cool factor is tangible. By the time he patented his TA-101 VCA (‘The Electronic Gain Control Device’ – the heart of the Dyna-mite) in 1980
• his reputation was already unimpeachable. The Dyna-mite is essentially a limiter or an expander
• but through a sophisticated combination of switch positions
• it is capable of more or less any manipulation of dynamics from gating to RMS compression
• from keying and ducking to ridiculously extreme levelling. Now
• however
• you can find all of these magical sonic combinations easily with the two new plug-ins
• Slam and Gate. Slam takes care of all of the downward stuff – the compression and limiting – in as close to a one-knob format as Dyna-mite could ever become
• while Gate deals with the upward operations – the gating and expanding. You can control bleed in a subtle manner
• add punch to a snare
• crush a rock vocal into submission
• or duck a synth bass around a kick. And you don’t even really need to read the manual. The original plug-in is included (with a slightly updated look) for experts
• but all the joy of the Dyna-mite comes forward in Slam and Gate
• in a more focused form than ever. All three plug-ins come under the same license
• for the one price. Features Three plug-ins in one – the original Dyna-mite
• plus focused 'Slam' & 'Gate' plug-ins Limiting: Peak and average limiting
• incl. negative ratio (-20: 1) limiting and detector HF filtering (for De-Essing purposes). Expanding: Hard or soft with extreme gate settings and detector HF filtering. Ducking or Keying modes with external side chain. Release ranging from 0.05 to 5 sec/20 dB with Anticipatory Release Computation (ARC) to reduce pumping. Analog-modeled output distortion for serious attitude and vibe. All the detailed dynamic control – and it’s quick and easy. System Requirements macOS Big Sur 11

It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com​ Eric Sarafin "Dyna-mite ... holy shit! This plug-in sounds exactly as I remember the original. It's so perfectly aggressive
• and that's very useful when you want to hammer a part with compression." Michael Wagener "There is always the debate if plug-ins sound close to the original. With the Softube Dyna-mite I hear absolutely no difference
• those guys nailed it." Andrew Scheps "I like the Dyna-mite because
• well
• it sounds like dynamite! Definitely a unique character that you don't find with other compressors."
