whiteLABEL has released version 1.2 of the bolsteriser range, a collection of dynamics effect plug-ins for Windows.

After more than 2000 downloads of the free versions of the bolsterisers we’re pleased to announce an upgrade to all paid-for versions.

Following guidance from an ex-military communications officer, we’ve implimented several tweaks first discovered by army field operatives bringing 8 new controls in an A/B switching setup around the slow/fast main operating modes, revealing functions such as :

• Acceleration
• Smearing
• Braking
• Rounding
• Access to internal filters
• Overloading of internal parameters

Join the group-buy today and you can get up to 5 bolsterisers for the discount price of only £10 (normally £15/each). The group-buy is limited to the first 100 participants … so join now if you don’t want to miss-out.

whiteLABEL has announced the release of the bolsterisers, a collection of naive dynamics family effect plug-ins for Windows.

The bolsterisers hark from a time before compression as we now know it. A long-obscure English experimentalist engineer and gentleman scientist by the name of Edwin Pierfax III derived the naive design of the original bolsteriser during an afternoon nap with his cat, Tiswold.

Fast-forward nearly ninety years and the bolsterisers are reborn in digital form. Unbeknownst to Pierfax, his devices survived well into the twenty-first century, and when recently discovered in Saint Pulcher’s museum of Combat Curiosities just had to be examined. After various component-level tests, it was decided to power-up the devices and take some measurements with a view to recreating these fantasy beasts in software – and here they are in their equally naive digital implementations – 5 variations all-told – each offering a slight twist on Pierfax’s original concept.

The whiteLABEL bolsterisers are available to purchase in a group buy for the introductory price of £10 GBP for the first 100 people to join.

From 16 November, 2010 (or after the group buy reaches 100 participants), the bolsterisers will only be available for their standard retail price of £15 GBP each.

Free mono versions of the plug-ins (VST 32bit Windows PC) are available to download from the whiteLABEL website.

Rough Diamond Productions has released version 1.1 of whiteLABEL stWIP, a stereo or surround channel strip plug-in for Windows.

stWIP can be used pretty much anywhere you need compression, gating, distortion, EQ or limiting. Each Filter and EQ band delivers upto 30 decibels of cut or gain and the 10 cross mixed dynamics modes range from light compression to heavy companding. To top it off, the distortion unit can further boost ( and / or destroy ) your signal and a hard-limiter on the outputs keeps things under control.

Changes in stWIP v1.1

• +10 dB input boost switch.
• Output hard-limiter.
• Per channel mutes.
• Auto-sensing VU meters.
• Improved polyphonic design.
• Improved waveform display with user defined update rate.
• CPU-saving auto-sleep implimentation.

stWIP for Windows PC (VST) is available for purchase for £15 GBP. A 6-channel surround sound version stWIP XL is available for £40 GBP. A fully functional free demo version (limited features) can be downloaded from the product page.

Rough Diamond Productions has released whiteLABEL stWIP, a stereo digital channel strip effect plug-in for Windows.

General purpose : stWIP can be used pretty much anywhere you need stereo compression, gating, distortion or EQ. Each Filter and EQ band delivers upto 30 decibels of cut or gain and the 10 dynamics modes range from light compression to heavy companding. To top it off, the distortion unit can further boost (and/or destroy) your signal.

Bespoke : During development of stWIP, about 30 custom SynthEdit modules were created to handle the user interface and audio sub-system architecture. These modules are also available for developers to download : More information: here. The unique architecture of stWIP means it can quite easily be turned into a parallel Quad or Surround Processor – upto 12 channels … if you’d like a “wide” version of stWIP just register in the normal way, and then get in touch to let me know your required configuration, which will then be built for a modest additional fee.

stWIP is available as a VST effect plug-in for Windows for £15 GBP.
