    “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

    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 EQ
    EVO Comp

    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.

    EVO Touch

    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.

      Encoding and Decoding with Transcoding Modules

      SPAT Revolution objects stream type can span from many types of microphones, arrays, HOA captures, and from any type of pre-produced stems. It can render content in HOA up to 7th order. Supporting a vast range of stream formats, transcoder modules allow modification of the channel count of the stream passing through it, depending on the format transfer being requested. For example, transcoding from Ambisonic B-Format into a Channel Based 3D Cube involves a four-channel Ambisonic stream getting transcoded into an eight-channel stream grouped and treated as a specific speaker configuration.

      Multi-Virtual Room (Ultimate Only)

      In SPAT Revolution the source objects are spatialized inside virtual rooms with spatial positioning, panning, reverberation and output format taken into consideration when calculating the output rendering.

      In order to encompass various different workflows or render different deliverables, multiple rooms can be created and used simultaneously, in parallel, with individual independent output formats.

      Summing this up is the ability to binaurally monitor (virtualize) a scene from a channel based output, giving an impression of how the mix might sound diffused by a particular speaker arrangement (including the space between speakers and gain characteristics belonging to selected panning types).

      Unique Nebula Spatial Spectrogram

      Nebula is a technology adapted from FLUX:: Analyzer System, simulating how sound sources localize their  sound over different speaker setups, providing a unique representation of the sound-field, in terms of spectral content and localization, in real-time inside the 3D virtual room display.

      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)

      • 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)

      Geek Panel

      The Geek Panel, an ”advanced settings” option, provides extended control of the transient processing envelope as well as different options for monitoring of the signal within the plugin.

        Dual Preset Slots and Parameter Morphing

        The built in preset manager and the preset morphing slider, provides instant and intuitive control of all parameters and controls. In a second, with a simple one-click operation, everything is copied from one of the two preset slots to the other, even during playback.

        The two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time, and except for only A/B comparing two sets of parameters, the morphing slider will allow to mix them, and to record the morph with the host automation.

            Full control over the processing

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

            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.

              Individual Multichannel Processing

              Up to sixteen 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 sixteen 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.

                          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 ControlSets 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.)

                                        Up to sixteen 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.
