Applied Computer Music Technologies has introduced a classic vintage FET compressor emulation for Windows and Linux (VST/VST3, AAX and CLAP).
Inspired by one of the best known vintage FET compressor / limiters, the ACM76SA provides fast attack to tame the most troublesome dynamics, combined with harmonic drive from the transformer-coupled JFET VCA emulation, while the classic ‘All Buttons’ or ‘British’ mode offers an additional rich overdrive texture. In addition the plug-in provides a switchable side-chain high-pass filter to prevent over compression on bass heavy mixes.
ACM76SA features
- Smooth controls with no ‘zipper noise’ when adjusting the plug-in settings.
- Program dependent attack and release, with fast attack.
- JFET VCA emulation for colorful harmonic drive.
- Transformer-coupled circuit emulation enhances the desirable vintage tone.
- Innovative zero-delay feedback algorithm models analogue behavior.
- Classic ‘All Buttons’ mode for extra overdrive, color and texture.
- Physically modeled rotary control modes.
- Resizable graphical user interface.
ACM76SA Vintage FET Compressor is priced £45 GBP. A free demo version is available to try the plugin.
