Rave Generation: Sonic Sweep 2

Features

• Tri-channel EQ stripWith fully parametric Hi-Mid (variable Bandwidth 3 – 1/12 oct, 500 Hz – 18 kHz), enhanced sweepable Lo-Mid with variable bandwidth (45 Hz – 3 kHz), dedicated 12 kHz / 80 Hz shelves and a variable 18 dB/oct Tchebychev low cut (25–125 Hz).
• Authentic analog behaviourInput transformers, soft-clip fader amps, console age asymmetric distortion, calibrated wide-band console hiss and authentic NJM4560 op-amp slew rate modelling can be dialled in per taste.
• Parallel <> Serial engineContinuously morph between pure serial processing and true parallel summing with equal-power cross-fade.
• Variable EQ resolutionSwitchable X2 Gain (±15 dB → ±30 dB) and X2 Freq (3 kHz → 6 kHz).
• Selectable Quality modeECO (1×, zero latency), NORMAL (2× oversampling) and HIGH (4× oversampling) with Kaiser-windowed FIR anti-alias filtering for pristine, alias-free saturation.
• Clip indicatorsOn each channel output and master bus. CPU-optimised biquadratic filters throughout.
• Shared Hi/Lo shelvesApplied post-blend to maintain phase-coherence across all routing modes for cohesive tone.
• Living console noiseWith authentic drift, hum and random wandering for that "breathing" analog vibe.
• Console Age modellingVariable asymmetric distortion (0–100 %) simulating the harmonic shift that develops in analog consoles over years of use.
• Console-authentic signal flowLow-cuts before routing split prevent phase issues; post-fader mutes preserve noise floor.
• Channel tolerance modellingSubtle per-channel and left/right component variations in frequency, gain and Q - just like a real console.
• Neural saturation modeSwitchable CLASSIC / NEURAL saturation built with a neural network trained to reproduce the character of a classic 90s 8-bus console channel strip, capturing its nonlinearity and harmonic detail.
• Sonic Sweep 2 CSChannel Strip Edition (bundled) Single-channel version of the same plugin, designed as a per-track insert. Identical DSP, EQ, saturation and analog modelling, running on one channel for ~2-3× lower CPU. Included free with every Sonic Sweep 2 license.
