“Evo Channel is quite packed, covering not only the ‘vanilla’ features one expects from a channel strip but also moving forward with the with Touch section and Phase slider, introducing aspects not usually seen on this kind of plug-ins. Zero added latency, rather friendly CPU load for a plug-in with this feature set, easily allowing to run as many instances as needed.”

“Evo Channel is a pretty powerful little tool that does an extremely impressive job, sounds really good and is really fast to work with!”

Josh Voyles

“What I like about the Drive section in EVO Channel is that it’s not a distorted sound, it’s just kind of a saturated sound adding a little bit more fatness and roundness to your sound, and it’s actually really subtle still even at 60-70 percent!”

“I really like EVO Channel and the results that I get from it, it’s straight to the point, sounds great, easy to use, and I really like the workflow!”

“Musical, intuitif, doté de fonctions atypiques, peu gourmand en ressources et plus souple que la majorité des produits concurrents, c’est un outil professionnel puissant qui saura satisfaire toute personne à la recherche d’une tranche de console virtuelle ayant du caractère tout en respectant la nature du signal source.”

Unique EVO Drive System

Restores the life and vitality

A well-managed gain structure is paramount for creating an optimized signal-chain and regenerating harmonics can bring the texture you want. In each of the EVO plugins a signal Drive, designed to add a soft saturation and warmth to the material, is available directly at the input gain for restoring and maintaining the vitality of the sound.

EVO In

Reframes the sound together

One of the most crucial parameters to take into account is Phase, or “The art of using multiple microphones on one and the same sound source”, a classic example is when setting up the sound for a drum kit.

Controlling the Phase of microphones is universal and relevant both for studio and live use. In EVO Channel and EVO In, an Arbitrary and Linear Phase Rotation throughout the spectrum is provided, to accomplish the same natural thing as when physically moving a microphone.

The Phase is the result of FLUX:: proprietary research, a unique algorithm allowing linear phase correction with zero latency.

EVO EQ

The canvas for painting the colors

One of the cornerstones in a Channel Strip is a well-built, efficient and complete Equalizer.

The equalizer in the EVO Channel and EVO EQ is a straightforward comprehensive 4-band parametric equalizer with an additional low/high shelf and a 6-24 dB low/high cut filter.

The graphical interactive EQ curve is layered on top of the built in Spectrum Analyzer for hands-on editing with direct connection to the visual response.

The spectrum analyzer originates from the FLUX:: Analyzer and has been optimized for the EVO Channel and EVO EQ. It provides an accurate direct view of what’s going on in the different frequency domains of your material.

EVO Compressor

The Sound Attitude Generator

In addition to controlling the signal dynamics, the compressor is often used for shaping the attitude of a sound. To use a compressor in a creative and artistic fashion it’s important that it’s easy to use and has the ability to create an interesting sound.

The EVO Channel and EVO Comp offers a wide range and variety of sound with nine different compression modes, and a Wet / Dry control for adjusting the level of compression, allowing for parallel compression within the module.

EVO Touch

The icing on the cake !

The Final Touch – EVO Touch, also available in EVO Channel, is a polymorphic section offering a variety of different processors designed to adapt to the requirements of the material, with seven different processing modes including a frequency dependent DeEsser, Expander and a Transient and Sustain Shape designer.

Multichannel, Dolby Atmos®, Ambisonics & High-Resolution Support

Multichannel being at the core of FLUX:: Immersive, The EVO Series plugins are designed to support mixing and creation of multichannel surround and immersive audio production content. Each module supports up to 16 channels which include Dolby Atmos® 7.1.2 / 7.0.2 Track and Bus all the way for creating and manipulating Ambisonic audio and mixes all the way to Third order Ambisonics

High Resolution DXD Audio with sampling rates up to 384 kHz is supported.

Dark Mode for Live and Theater

The visual display mode of the graphical user interface in the EVO Series plugins can be set to a Dark or a Light mode.

The Dark mode is created to provide an option for situations like Live and Theater performances where discretion can be of real importance.

Transformer – Real-time Voice and Sonic Modelling Processor

TRAX Transformer is based on an augmented phase vocoder technology and a cutting edge transformation algorithm, allowing for manipulating characteristic properties of a voice such as gender, age and breath, and on any other sound; expression, formant and pitch.

These voice transformation algorithms have already been used, with great success, in international and French cinema productions. (Farinelli, Vatel, Tirésia, Les amours d’Astrée and Céladon)

Source (Trax Transformer)

With the Spectral Envelope complex remapping of the actual spectrum envelope, according to a freely definable curve, can be performed.

Source (Trax Transformer)

With the Spectral Envelope complex remapping of the actual spectrum envelope, according to a freely definable curve, can be performed.

Target (Trax Transformer)

Target, provide a range of options for the transformation of the source material. In voice mode, a range of vocal types/ranges are available, and on top of that, parameters such as gender, age and breath can be used as well. For all types of material, pitch, expression and formant are provided as well.

Spectral Envelope (Transformer)

Up to eight channels of simultaneous processing for multichannel surround configuration is provided. The processing can be disengaged on any of the channels leaving the material unprocessed, bypassing the original sound.

When operating on a multi-channel bus all, up to eight in total, channels are processed by default, though the processing can be disengaged for any number of channels leaving the material unprocessed and bypassing the original sound.

By doing this in combination with serial instances the material on any number of channels can be processed with individual settings.

Spectral Envelope (Transformer)

By doing this in combination with serial instances the material on any number of channels can be processed with individual settings.

Cross Synthesis – Spectral Envelope Morphing Processor

TRAX Cross Synthesis utilizes a phase vocoder (the amplitude and the frequency/phase spectra), to morph the spectral characteristics of two sounds. The amplitude and frequency/phase spectra can be blended continuously and since the features that are used here are strongly nonlinear, the sound morphing is nonlinear as well, offering a way to create a wide range of new exciting and unusual sound effects.

Source Filter – Enhanced Sound Filtering

TRAX Source Filter is based on a signal model decomposing the signal into a time envelope describing the energy/loudness contour of the sound, and a spectral envelope describing the spectral colour of the sound timbre. The energy contour and the spectral colour of the source sound, can be continuously blended with the spectral colour and energy contour of an arbitrary filtrating sound, allowing transformation that extend well beyond the more common source filter morphing effect.

Compatibility

Decay Time

The Decay Time, is the duration of the reverberation tail in seconds, the time it takes for the reverberated sound to die out. In technical terms this is often referred to as the RT60 factor, the time at which the response of the reverberation to an input signal goes below -60dB of attenuation.

Room Size

The Room Size is a meta parameter used to quickly perform a homogeneous set of parameters for the early reflections part (early + cluster). These parts are particularly important to achieve the “room” feeling of the desired space. It adjust the time structure of the whole reverberation (early-min, early-max, cluster-min, cluster-max, reverb-start).

Room Size

Pre Delay

The Pre Delay controls the time at which the reverberation portion of the effect starts to be noticed, with respect to the DIRECT signal. Increasing this helps to distinguish between direct and effected sound and preserve intelligibility, especially with large decay times and room sizes which would otherwise drench the audio material in reverberation.

Time Structure Gain and Damping

Early Gain – Controls the level of EARLY and CLUSTER contributed to the overall effect.
Tail Gain – Controls the level of LATE/TAIL contributed to the overall effect.
Low Damping – Adjusts low-frequency damping, for increasing or decreasing the decay of bass content with respect to the rest of the spectrum
High Damping – Adjusts high frequency content damping.

Time Structure Gain and Damping

Early Gain – Controls the level of EARLY and CLUSTER contributed to the overall effect.
Tail Gain – Controls the level of LATE/TAIL contributed to the overall effect.
Low Damping – Adjusts low-frequency damping, for increasing or decreasing the decay of bass content with respect to the rest of the spectrum
High Damping – Adjusts high frequency content damping.

Filter Section

The Filter Section controls the characteristics of the filter applied to the signal fed to the reverberation engine, affecting the overall frequency response, if required.

Low Freq – Low pass filter frequency cutoff of the corresponding filter section.

Frequency Dependent Transient Processing

The Frequency Dependent Transient Processing provides the option to process only a certain part of the frequency spectrum, making BitterSweet Pro act like a dynamic equalizer driven by Transients and/or Sustain.

Explained:

When Frequency Range is set from 20 Hz to 20 KHz the processing is performed on the full band, now changing the value of the low cut off frequency turns it into a High shelve dynamic eq and setting the high cut off frequency turns it into a Low shelve dynamic eq, when setting both, it turns it into a peak dynamic eq.

On any case the gain can be adjusted with the Static Gain parameter, and the slope can be set with the Frequency Order parameter, from 6dB per octave to 12, 18 and 24 dB, the higher the Frequency Order is the steeper the slope of the frequency response becomes.

M/S Stereo Processing Modes

Transients and Sustain can be amplified or attenuated simultaneously or individually, and using a built in M/S Encoder/Decoder the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound can be processed independently.

Main – processes using regular stereo signal scheme and it’s the only available mode for multichannel operations
Center – engages the internal MS encoder and processes only the Mid channel. After processing, the sound is decoded back to stereo (useful for snare/kick drums)
Stereo – engages the internal MS encoder and processes only the Side channel. After processing the sound is decoded back to stereo. (Efficient for panned rhythmic instruments)

Advanced detection and analysis

To perform the most detailed analysis of the material possible, a side chain section featuring a three-band equalizer for generating true frequency sensitive processing, as well as input options for an external sidechain signal, is provided.

Side Chain Section Details

Each of the three eq-bands provides; Gain, Frequency and Q-Factor, as well as five different Filter Types:

12 dB per octave high pass filter
Low shelving
Parametric
High shelving
12 dB per octave low pass filter

The external side-chain input is available in AU (Mac OS X) and AAX Native & DSP (Mac OS X & Windows) only.

Full control over the processing

In addition to the common controls on a dynamics processor; ratio, attack, release, Solera offers control over the fundamental characteristics of the dynamics processing, all in order to provide full control over the processing even in the most demanding situations.

Details:

Envelope, Time and Detection Settings

Extended envelope settings with full control of Attack, Hold and Release with Manual, Auto and Advanced release modes.
Zero attack time for the dynamics processing by introducing a delay reflecting the attack time into the signal path.
Eight different detection modes interacting with the time and envelope settings as well as with the integration times for the RMS detection. Includes specific “Feed Backward” modes inspired by vintage hardware architectures for producing a naturally “beefy” sound.
Dynamic Factor – Amplifies or diminishes the extracted real-time dynamics information.
Dynamic Velocity – Controls the speed of variation on the extracted dynamics information.

Open up the sound and increase the dynamic impression

On each of the four dynamics processing sections two parameters are provided that are kind of unique to dynamics processing; Dynamics Ratio and Level Independent Detection (L.I.D), using the dynamic range content of the signal and not just the signal levels as standard processors do.

Details:

Dynamics Ratio is controlling the amount of auto-ratio determined by the signal dynamics and the manual ratio setting. This literally opens the sound, increases the dynamic impression and keeps some crest by adjusting, in real time, the ratio of every dynamic processing section in regards to both the current ratio settings and the signal content (mainly dynamic range).
Level Independent Detection (L.I.D) controls the amount of auto-threshold determined by the signal dynamics and the manual threshold value, providing processing of the audio signal independently of the sound level and instead in regards to the signal dynamic range.
A Maximum mode can be engaged on the L.I.D control, allowing for processing that accounts for the maximum

Control the Stereo width of your mix

To control the actual Stereo width of the mix a built-in MS encoder/decoder is used to split the stereo-signal in its M and S components in order to control the actual stereo width of the mix.

Details:

The MS Width Control – Sets the stereo width of the processed signal. A -6 dB value deceases the stereo width. A +6 dB value increases the wideness of the stereo mix but can produce phase issue.

The MS Mode Control – Enables one MS encoding matrix at the input and one MS decoding matrix at the output of the dynamic processing in order to control the stereo width of the mix. When engaged, the side chain is fed by a MS encoded signal that is reflected in the display section. M channel corresponds to the normal left channel. And the S channel corresponds to the normal right channel.

(This feature is only available when two channels (no more, no less) are processed.)

Adaptive Processing Control

The adaptive processing algorithm in Syrah can be defined by a Mode setting parameter, which his is one of the most significant controls on Syrah defining how the algorithm automatically tries to adapt the processing to the audio material.

Modes:

Dynamic Soft
Dynamic Deep
Static

By selecting one of the two provided dynamic modes, a range of parameters becomes dynamic and will vary in sync according to the audio analysis, aiming at a result that is closer to the original material.

M/S Stereo Operation

Syrah provides an option for individual processing of the M/S components, a well-known technique often used in mastering to process the stereo image or the center impact, and since Syrah adapts the processing to the audio material, the result will generally match the stereo material more accurately, resulting in a larger variety of possible sound modifications, such as; dynamically increasing the space (room) impression, boost the main center components and similar tasks.
