🆓 KuramaSound releases FREE AnalogChannel plugin [Win only]

[LinkedMusicians]

Note: The developer responsible for KuramaSound handles algorithms for the highly regarded Airwindows.

Key Features:
– Dual-Mono Architecture: Left and right channels process independently, enabling analog channel modeling through the Channel Variation system
– Channel Variation System: Emulates natural component tolerances in analog consoles with 48 unique channel presets (see UserManual.md for details)
– Independent Bypass: All sections feature smooth 10ms crossfade CPU-efficient bypass, for A/B comparison without clicks and resource optimization.
– Flexible Signal Routing: Style Comp. can be placed pre or post-EQ, filters can be routed post-OutStage for creative effects
– Comprehensive Metering: Input/output peak meters plus dedicated GR meters for dynamics sections
– Full DAW Automation: All parameters support VST3 automation and MIDI control
– Zero Latency: Real-time processing suitable for tracking and mixing

Processing sections:
Input stage saturation: 4 modes to choose between Clean (digital gain), Pure (transparent saturation), Tape (vintage reel saturation with flutter and head bump), and Tube (3-stages asymmetric harmonics); DSP ported from AirWindows
HPF/LPF filters with “Bump” option (higher Q factor) and switchable slopes
“Clean” Compressor: Transparent peak control for taming dynamics before EQ
Low Dynamic custom design section: Dual-mode dynamics processor for signals below the threshold; a custom 1-knob approach that works as either a downward expander/gate or an upward compressor
4 bands EQ with custom design: Musical baxandall shelving + parametric EQ, using custom curves with dynamic Q (similar to an API-style EQ); Mid-Cut control for precise mid-range shaping added to the original baxandall shelves.
Style Compressor with Two character compression modes: “Warm” (optical CL1B-style) that with the coloration and adaptive attack/release time adds warmth, glue and vibes, and “Punch” mode to enhance the initial parts of the transients on percussive elements
Console Emulation: Choose one of the magic console tones between Essex (Neve), Oxford (SSL style), and USA (API); DSP ported from AirWindows
Output Stage – Final stage with saturation and clipping options (Hard/Soft); DSP ported from AirWindows
