Native Instruments has announced the release of a new intelligent tube saturation plugin from iZotope. Plasma is designed to supercharge your sound with dynamic saturation that automatically reacts to your music and adaptively boosts where you need it.
The first installment in a new collection of upcoming iZotope plugins, the Catalyst Series, Plasma features groundbreaking “Flux Saturationˮ technology that applies tube saturation precisely where and when itʼs needed to enhance your music. Unlike traditional saturators that apply a static effect, Plasmaʼs dynamic processing offers a lighter touch for consistently balanced mixes and masters.
Plasma features
- Flux Saturation: Plasma identifies which frequency areas need boosting and applies tube saturation to only those areas—and only when itʼs needed.
- Target Profiles: Powered by award-winning iZotope tech, Plasma applies Flux Saturation according to one of 24 target profiles. Pick a profile to tailor Plasmaʼs processing to the audio at hand.
- Character settings: Fine-tune Plasmaʼs adaptive saturating with Attack and Release settings. Turn up the Overdrive fader for extra crunchy goodness.
- Channel Modes and Frequency Handles: Add saturation exactly where you need it. With Channel Modes and Frequency Handles, Plasma can focus processing on specific frequencies, the mid or side channels, and transient or sustain parts of the audio.
- Tons of presets: With 49 presets for anything from individual mix elements to the entire master bus, itʼs easy to find a quick starting point with Plasma.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), Plasma is priced $49 USD at Native Instruments, iZotope, and from distributor Plugin Boutique. Owners of any iZotope product can get Plasma for $39 USD through September 26th, 2024.
