USER INTERFACE - MAIN CONTROLS

Top row controls
INPUT: Controls the input gain and drive into the filter system. Higher settings introduce analog-style saturation and harmonic enhancement at the input stage, significantly affecting the overall character of the processing.
FM (Frequency Modulation): Adjusts the amount of frequency modulation applied to both filters, allowing for complex timbral changes, sideband generation, and aggressive sonic transformations.ADSR controls: The central ADSR section includes:
A (Attack): Controls the attack phase of the ADSR envelope, determining how quickly the modulation rises when triggered.
D (Decay): Sets the time for the ADSR envelope to fall from peak to sustain level after the attack phase completes.
S (Sustain): Determines the held level of the ADSR envelope while the trigger remains active.
R (Release): Controls how long the ADSR envelope takes to return to zero after the trigger ends.SPEED: Controls the frequency of the LFO from extremely slow modulation through typical LFO rates to audio-rate modulation, enabling both subtle movement and FM-like effects.
DEPTH: A bipolar control for LFO intensity. Center position provides no modulation, while turning right or left increases the modulation depth in different phase relationships, allowing complementary modulation of both filters.AM (Amplitude modulation): Controls the depth of amplitude modulation, creating tremolo, ring-modulation, and gating effects depending on settings.PAR<>SER: Controls the routing of the dual filter system. Fully left (PAR) processes audio through both filters in parallel, while fully right (SER) routes the output of Filter 1 into Filter 2 for serial processing. Intermediate settings blend between these configurations.BYP<>EFF: Controls the balance between the bypassed (dry) and processed (wet) signals. At center position, both signals are mixed equally, while fully left bypasses all processing, and fully right applies 100% effect.Switch controls
HI BOOST/HI CUT/NORMAL: A three-position switch that controls pre-filter equalization. HI BOOST enhances high frequencies before filtering for added brightness, NORMAL maintains a neutral frequency response, and HI CUT reduces high frequencies for a warmer character.SENSITRIG/NORMAL/LIMIT: A three-position switch controlling the trigger sensitivity for both AR and ADSR envelopes:
SENSITRIG: Increases trigger sensitivity for better response to quiet sources
NORMAL: Standard trigger sensitivity for most audio material
LIMIT: Reduces sensitivity to prevent false triggering with complex material+OCTAVE/NORMAL/+QUINT: A three-position switch for harmonic enhancement:
+OCTAVE: Raises filter frequencies by one octave
NORMAL: No transposition
+QUINT: Introduces a unique quint (fifth) transposition that adds harmonic complexityTRACK/NORMAL/TRACK LOW: Controls the pitch tracking function:
TRACK: Dynamically adjusts filter frequencies based on the detected pitch of the input
NORMAL: Disables pitch tracking
TRACK LOW: Similar to TRACK but targets lower frequencies, ideal for bass materialFilter controls
FREQ 1: Sets the cutoff frequency for Filter 1. This exponential control provides fine adjustment in the critical lower frequencies while allowing quick access to the full frequency spectrum.
RESO 1: Adjusts the resonance feedback for Filter 1. Higher settings emphasize frequencies near the cutoff point, creating peaks that can range from subtle enhancement to extreme self-oscillation.
LBH 1: A bipolar control that smoothly blends between lowpass (fully left), bandpass (center), and highpass (fully right) responses for Filter 1.
BLH 1: A sophisticated correction control that modifies the filter response by adding or subtracting filter components. At center position (0), no correction is applied. Moving left (-B) reduces bandpass presence, while moving right (-B+LH) adds lowpass and highpass components to the bandpass.HARMONICS: A 12-position rotary switch that defines the harmonic relationship between Filter 1 and Filter 2. "FREE" allows independent control, while the numbered positions lock Filter 2 to specific musical intervals relative to Filter 1.FREQ 2: Sets the cutoff frequency for Filter 2. When HARMONICS is active, this control is subordinate to FREQ 1 according to the selected harmonic relationship.
RESO 2: Controls the resonance for Filter 2 with a slightly different character than RESO 1, allowing complementary tonal shaping when both filters are used together.
LBH 2: Provides the same filter type control as LBH 1 but for Filter 2, enabling complex dual-filter configurations.
BLH 2: Provides the same correction functionality as BLH 1 but for Filter 2.Envelope and trigger controls
AR TRIG: Selects the trigger source for the AR envelope:
OFF: No external triggering (manual control only)
SIDECHAIN: Uses audio from the sidechain input for triggering
MIDI: Allows MIDI notes to trigger the AR envelopeA (Attack): Controls the attack time for the AR amplitude envelope, shaping how quickly the processed signal reaches full volume.
R (Release): Sets the release time for the AR envelope, determining how the processed signal fades out when the trigger ends.Bottom panel controls
DIST TYPE: Choose between different distortion modes:
CLEAN: Minimal distortion with subtle enhancement
WARM: Analog-inspired saturation with even harmonic emphasis
CRUNCH: More aggressive distortion with complex harmonic content
EDGE: Maximum distortion with pronounced frequency-dependent characterTRIG ADSR: Selects the trigger source for the ADSR envelope.
OFF: No external triggering (manual control only)
SIDECHAIN: Uses audio from the sidechain input for triggering
MIDI: Allows MIDI notes to trigger the ADSR envelopeTRIG AR: Selects the trigger source for the AR envelope.
OFF: No external triggering (manual control only)
SIDECHAIN: Uses audio from the sidechain input for triggering
MIDI: Allows MIDI notes to trigger the AR envelopeADSR SENS: Controls the audio threshold level (in dB) for ADSR triggering. Adjust this to fine-tune how the ADSR responds to your audio material.
AR SENS: Controls the audio threshold level (in dB) at which the AR envelope will trigger when using audio input as a trigger source. Lower values make the AR more sensitive to quiet sounds.THD DRIFT: Controls the amount of thermal drift simulation, affecting how the distortion characteristics subtly change over time. Higher settings create more pronounced "breathing" effects typical of analog hardware.NOISE: Introduces calibrated pink noise into the signal path, useful for adding texture, creating ambient atmospheres, or enhancing percussive elements.LFO SYNC: Synchronizes the LFO frequency to your DAW's tempo with various rhythmic divisions (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, etc.), ensuring perfectly timed filter modulation.OUTPUT: Adjusts the final output gain after all processing. This compensates for level changes introduced by filtering and distortion.Additional controls
LFO MODE: A three-position switch selecting between RESTART (LFO restarts with each new trigger), NORMAL (standard sine wave modulation), and SAWTOOTH (changing the LFO waveform from sine to sawtooth for different modulation characteristics).ADSR MODE: A three-position switch selecting between:
ADSR: Standard envelope generator mode with full ADSR control
FREEZE: Sustains the current envelope state regardless of trigger input
ENVELOPE FOLLOWER: Dynamically tracks the amplitude of the input signalOVERSAMPLE: Toggles between standard processing and 4x oversampling. When enabled, this significantly reduces aliasing artifacts, particularly with high resonance settings and upper-frequency content, at the cost of increased CPU usage.

SONIC DYNAMICS

🔊 Sonic Dynamics is a powerful stereo compressor/limiter plug‑in by Rave Generation, inspired by a classic analog dynamics processor design. It delivers authentic vintage character and modern flexibility through detailed analog modeling.🎛️ Two emulation modes are provided: Modern/Rev D for clean, precise dynamics (using THAT2180 VCA, low noise and fast envelope response) and Vintage/Rev C for colored, “musical” compression (with DBX2150-style VCA, more distortion, ripple-induced saturation and slower, pumping envelopes).🎶 Sonic Dynamics faithfully captures soft‑knee curves, separate peak/RMS detection, sidechain gating, and stereo linking behaviors of its hardware predecessor, while adding modern conveniences (mix control, high-pass sidechain filter, etc.). The result is an analog‑flavored compressor/limiter with gate and sidechain capabilities that is equally at home on sources from vocals to drum bus and mix bus.

• Buy in shop

KEY FEATURES• Compressor/Limiter
Feed-forward VCA compressor with controls for threshold, ratio, attack, release, knee, and make-up gain. In Limit mode, it uses a high ratio and fixed attack/release for fast, transparent limiting. Soft knee gives a smooth transition, while hard knee is abrupt; detection can be Peak or RMS.
• Low-Frequency Relax (De-Rumbler)
The Lo Freq Relax HPF cleans up sub-bass before detection. It is a cascaded 24 dB/oct high-pass filter whose cutoff is controlled by the knob. Use this to prevent deep bass hits (like kick or low-end rumble) from over-triggering compression. For example, setting it to 80 Hz can avoid excessive pumping on bass-heavy tracks. At 0 Hz this feature is disabled.
• Sidechain Routing
The main inputs feed both the audio output and the internal sidechain detector. If an external sidechain is available and Ext SC is enabled, the plug-in uses the auxiliary inputs as the detection source for both compressor and gate. This allows ducking or keycontrolled effects. The Lo Freq Relax HPF is always applied to whichever source is used for detection.
• Stereo/Dual-Mono Processing
By default, Sonic Dynamics is a true stereo processor. With Stereo Link on, one envelope (from the louder channel) drives both channels’ VCAs. With Link off, it operates in dual-mono: each channel’s compressor and gate respond independently.
• Gate/Expander
After the compressor section, Sonic Dynamics applies a gate on each channel. The gate threshold and decay are set by Gate Threshold and Gate Rate. If the signal falls below the threshold, the gate closes: it remains open for a fixed “hold” time (the Gate Rate setting) then exponentially decays shut. This models the hardware’s gate circuit (100 kΩ/1 µF network). Use the gate to silence noise or bleed during quiet passages. The gate detector also follows the selected sidechain source.
• Auto and Mode-Dependent Control Behavior
Sonic Dynamics automatically disables or ignores certain controls when specific modes are active, mirroring the behavior of the analog hardware:
- Limit Mode: When Limit mode is engaged, Attack, Release, and Ratio controls are disabled. The compressor operates with a fixed, ultra-fast attack, a musical release, and an extremely high ratio (for true peak limiting). Adjusting these knobs has no effect in Limit mode.
- RMS Mode: When RMS detection is selected, Attack and Release controls are disabled. In this mode, the envelope timing is set internally for slow, program-dependent behavior, and the knobs are bypassed.
- LED Meters: The gain reduction (GR) and output meters remain active in all modes, giving you instant visual feedback on compression, gating, and output levels with no added latency.

USER INTERFACE - MAIN CONTROLS

Threshold (dB) – Sets the compression threshold. Turning it clockwise raises the threshold, resulting in less compression. Below this level the signal is passed through; above it, gain reduction is applied.Ratio (:1) – Sets the compression ratio. Lower ratios (e.g. 2:1–4:1) provide gentle leveling, while higher ratios (e.g. 10:1 and above) clamp peaks more aggressively. In Limit mode (when Limit is On), the ratio is effectively very high (modeled as ~50:1) for true limiting.Attack (ms) – Controls how fast the compressor reacts to signal above threshold. It ranges from 0.1 ms (instant attack) to 60 ms (slower attack) by default. Short attack times clamp transients tightly; longer times let initial peaks through for punch.Release (ms) – Sets the release time (50–500 ms by default) for how quickly gain reduction returns to zero after the signal falls below threshold. Longer release smooths gain changes; shorter release is more “snappy.” In RMS mode, the plug‑in uses internal long attack/release constants and ignores the Attack/Release knobs.Output (Make-Up Gain) (dB) – Adjusts the output level (0 to +20 dB). This compensates for gain reduction or introduces analog-style saturation when pushed. Typical analog practice is to add a few dB of make-up gain after compression, sometimes driving into subtle soft clipping for warmth.Peak/RMS – Selects detector mode. Peak responds to signal transients for fast, punchy compression. RMS uses an averaged detector for smoother, program-level control—attack and release times are fixed internally in this mode, so the Attack/Release knobs are bypassed. Use Peak for percussive material, RMS for transparent leveling.Knee (Hard/Soft) – Switch between hard-knee (abrupt onset of compression) and soft-knee (smooth transition around the threshold). Use Hard knee for precise limiting or effect compression; Soft knee for more transparent or musical leveling.Bypass/Comp – Engage or bypass compression. In Comp mode, the compressor processes the signal normally. In Bypass mode, the input is passed through untouched (use this to compare processed vs. dry). In hardware this was a hard switch; here it toggles DSP processing on/off.Gate Threshold (dB) – Sets the gate (expander) threshold from –60 dB to +10 dB. When the input (or sidechain) level falls below this threshold, the gate closes (attenuates signal). Clockwise increases the threshold (making gating more aggressive). The gate uses an envelope that immediately opens when the level exceeds this threshold.Gate Rate (ms) – Sets the gate release (decay) time from 20 ms up to 2000 ms (2 s). When the signal drops below the threshold, the gate stays open for the set time, then smoothly fades closed.Stereo Link (Off/On) – Toggles linking of the two channels. When On (linked), the compressor computes a single envelope from the louder (max) channel and applies that gain reduction to both channels. This prevents stereo imbalance (gain changes in one channel are “tracked” by the other). When Off (dual-mono), each channel is processed independently.Revision (Rev C/Vintage ; Rev D/Modern) – Selects the hardware revision emulation. Rev D (Modern) is the default: it models a pristine version of the hardware (low noise, tight response). Rev C (Vintage) models an earlier revision with more noise, hum, and distortion (plus slower envelope). See the Rev C vs Rev D Emulation section for details.Limit (Off/On) – Engages Limiter mode. With Limit on, compression acts as a peak limiter: the ratio is set very high and attack/release are effectively maximized so that strong peaks are held at the threshold. This provides “brick-wall” style limiting. In this mode, the attack and release controls do little (the plug‑in uses near-instant attack and long release to catch peaks).Lo Freq Relax (Hz) – Applies a sidechain high-pass filter (0–250 Hz) in cascade (24 dB/octave). Turning up this knob reduces the compressor’s sensitivity to low frequencies (preventing “pumping” from deep bass). At 0 Hz the filter is bypassed (full bandwidth). Typical use: set 40–100 Hz to let sub-bass fluctuate without triggering gain reduction.Ext SC (Off/On) – External Sidechain enable. When Off, the compressor and gate detect on the main input signal. When On, they use the external sidechain inputs (if your DAW route provides a sidechain input) as the detection source . This allows, for example, ducking the signal with another track, or de-essing by feeding a de-esser EQ into the sidechain.Mix (%) – Dry/Wet mix control (0–100%). At 100%, only the compressed (wet) signal is heard. At 0%, the signal is fully dry (bypassed). Intermediate settings blend the two equally (true parallel compression). Use this for parallel processing (e.g. heavy compression on the wet blend while retaining dynamics on the dry mix).Main Out (dB) – Final output level trim (–20 to +20 dB). This adjusts the overall output volume of both channels. It can be used for additional make-up gain or to attenuate the output after clipping.Clip 0dB (Off/On) – Optional 0 dB hard clip. When On, the output waveform is clipped at 0 dBFS. A small amount of soft saturation is applied just before clipping for a smooth transition (mimicking analog saturation near its rails). Use this as a safety limiter to prevent digital overs, or as a creative “brick-wall” effect on peaks.Meters – Below the controls are four meters: GR L/R (Gain Reduction) and Level L/R (Output Level). The GR meters show the instantaneous gain reduction in dB for each channel. The Level meters show output level in dBFS for each channel (smoothed peak). Watch the GR meters to see compression amount and the Level meters to monitor output peaks, especially when Clip 0dB is on.

Sonic Spread

🎶 Welcome to Sonic Spread, a stereo utility plugin designed to enhance your stereo imaging and provide precise control over delay-based spatial effects. Sonic Spread is perfect for sound designers, music producers, and audio engineers who seek to add depth, width, and dimension to their mixes.🔊 This plugin excels at creating the Haas effect—a psychoacoustic phenomenon that enhances stereo imaging by introducing slight delays between the left and right channels. Additionally, Sonic Spread can emulate the classic Duophonic effect, popularized by Capitol Records in the 1960s. This effect simulates stereo sound from a mono source by splitting the signal into two channels, delaying one, and using frequency shaping. Specifically, bass frequencies are cut from one channel using a high-pass filter, while treble frequencies are cut from the other with a low-pass filter. This process creates an artificial stereo effect, which can be further enhanced with reverb and stereo echo.🎛️ Sonic Spread goes beyond basic stereo enhancement by offering precise control over multiple parameters such as delay, frequency filtering, volume adjustment, and pan positioning. Users can customize stereo width with dedicated controls for the mid and side channels, allowing for intricate balancing and mixing. Additionally, the built-in clipping protection ensures that no distortion occurs, making it suitable for both subtle enhancements and more aggressive stereo effects. Sonic Spread’s combination of these features makes it an indispensable tool for sound engineers aiming for professional-grade stereo imaging.
