It's time to take control of time itself, with the Doepfer A-188-1 Bucket Brigade Device for Softube Modular. Our officially licensed software version of the BBD module represented a new challenge in terms of component by component analog modeling, and the results were worth the effort.

By passing your signal along a line of capacitors, the BBD delays your sound in time, but also degrades it with high-frequency loss and additional noise (as well as noticeable sample-rate reduction and aliasing at high delay times). This creates a warm and dirty effect, much sought after in the mid/late '70s, and still loved.

Modular synthesizers are a way of life. The sense of endless possibility, of open-ended adventure, is captivating. Addictive even. And nothing else can produce the sonic extremes of which a modular system is capable. Patch four or five modules together in a new way and you just might hear something no human ear has ever heard before.

Sovereign of analog mastering equalizers.

If there was a hierarchy of analog studio gear (and let's face it, there kind of is) it'd be hard to dispute the Chandler Limited® Curve Bender's claim to the throne. Among analog mastering grade equalizers, this one's about as blue-blooded as they come.

With tremendous pedigree, huge yet controlled power, and most importantly, exceptional sound quality, thanks to component-level modelling of the original germanium and inductor circuits, the Curve Bender, now available for the first time in native format, reigns supreme over the domain of tone-shaping in analog mastering.

WaveRider Tg adopts the level riding algorithm of the original WaveRider, and puts it into a bite size package with one purpose: Consistent levels.

It's also able to write its own automation just like its parent, but without the need of HUI.

The best part is, WaveRider's volume riding algorithm is now available in AAX, VST, VST3, and AU.

DRUM LEVELER is a new beat detection-based downward and upward compressor/expander and gate.

By selectively applying gain to single drum beats, Drum Leveler easily achieves the desired target level for each beat without affecting bleed noise or any beats that are out of the user-defined processing range.

DRUM LEVELER is powerful yet easy to use. It will help you achieve solid driving grooves, improve clarity and add punch to any percussive performance.

The free plug-in Saturation Knob is a modeled output distortion that can be used anywhere you need some grit. Use it to fatten up bass lines, add some harmonics and shimmer to vocals, or simply destroy your drum loop.

One Big Knob and a Little Switch

The three modes - Keep High, Neutral and Keep Low - give you three kinds of characters of distortion. If you want to squash a drum loop but keep the bass drum fairly intact, you can, for example, use the Keep Low mode, while Keep High distorts the low end more, keeping the high frequencies relatively clean.

Loudness done right.

Based on the legendary Weiss DS1-MK3, the centerpiece of mastering studios the world over (and also now available as a Softube plug-in), we're delighted to offer the future of fast and professional mix maximizing - the MM-1 Mastering Maximizer.

Featuring the very same algorithms as the original digital hardware unit, the MM-1 offers five flavours of limiting; transparent, loud, punch, wide, and deess; intelligently progressing as the 'amount' knob turns, and blendable with the mix control, to give you precisely the right amount of power over the feel of your masters.

Modern Bass. Mix-ready Bass. Monoment Bass.

In the modern day, music production leans more heavily on bass than ever before. Although track counts can number a hundred or more, often the core of a song is built around little more than a beat, a vocal, and a rich, living bass sound.

So, an instrument dedicated to just that – tailored to producing huge, solid bass tones with complex, organic overtones, focused effects, and as much bass as you want when you build your own version in Modular for a mix-ready low end – is more than just useful. It's foundational. Monoment Bass lays the groundwork for top-quality tracks every time.

Turns drums into crushed gravel, direct guitars into vintage fuzz, and the human voice into an alien specter.

THE SOUND OF PUSHER

Turning drums into crushed gravel, direct guitars into vintage fuzz, and the human voice into an alien specter – Pusher encourages improvisation and rewards exploration with endlessly surprising colors and overtones.

Statement Lead instrument is a five-octave polyphonic synth plug-in for lead sounds with 90 waveforms recorded from a variety of rare, expensive hardware synths and built-in Softube effects to give you precise control over your sound.

Modular Ready

The Source, Filter, and FX sections of Statement Lead are included as modules for Modular, for when you want a section of a synth to be able to combine with something else. It's easy to use and combine single parts of the synthesizer in a modular workflow to build patches and get an authentic polyphonic synth sound. This really opens up possibilities for innovative sound creation. Learn more about the individual modules below.
