Features and requirements for the current Windows VST3 range.
NOSTRESSCharacter compression with OPTO and British modes, Dist 2/3 saturation and up to 4x oversampling. Shape harmonic density and detector response with independent Audio HP and Detector HP filters, plus external sidechain control.PERCEPTSpectral balance with a clear reference. Capture a Snapshot, follow your material with Auto Match, and choose Minimum or Linear Phase. Explore Music Balanced, Warm, Bright and Reference targets, with Magic processing for additional character.CARVECreate space between competing parts with spectral sidechain processing. Unmask and Duck modes combine frequency-focused attenuation with Range, Width, Sensitivity and envelope controls, helping you shape where instruments move around each other in the mix.VOICECHOICEA focused vocal channel for dynamics, presence and colour. Seven macro controls combine compression, de-essing, dynamic mud reduction, smoothing, air, drive and slap, with Vintage Mode adding opto, tube and tape-inspired character to the workflow.HARDLINEShape transients, manage sample peaks and dial in clipping density with HARD and SOFT curves. Up to 8x oversampling, Softness and a latency-aligned Mix control give you detailed control over the edge of a track or bus.EMPIREBuild mix-bus cohesion with program-dependent VARI-MU levelling and DISCRETE feedforward VCA control. Reorder the two stages, shape stereo or mid/side dynamics, and introduce NICKEL, IRON or STEEL transformer character before setting the final Blend. Installation
Windows 10 or later, x64, with a VST3-compatible DAW. The installer uses the standard Common Files/VST3 folder. Close your DAW before installation, then rescan its plugin list.
Minimum CPU and RAM requirements have not been published. External sidechain processing requires routing support in your host.
Commercial activation
The existing system uses a personal, perpetual .smlicense file. Import it in the plugin license centre or drop it onto the license card. Verification is offline, without machine binding.
The production signer is disconnected. Test files use a separate key and cannot activate commercial plugins, including files with a .smlicense extension.
Trials and audio demos
Trial downloads and audio demos have not been published yet. Product pages will link to them once available.
