SKnote has announced the release of an update of its effect plugin featuring a parametric physical model of audio transformers and an optional power output stage.
Version 2.0 of AnyTesla comes with new “Seta” Red and Blue controls.
Transformers can be an important part of tracks’ sound with unique contributes from bass enhancement to harmonic distortion. One of their interesting characteristic is how they compress lower frequencies more and don’t limit signal’s levels, so keeping the original dynamics while enhancing the sound with harmonics.
Changes in AnyTesla v2.0
- Seta Red: Adds a circuit around the transformer to bias the magnetisation of the core. The result is a different response on the low frequency range (where transformers affect the signal the most) with a wider sound palette. To hear its effect, focus on the very low frequency range while moving the control horizontally.
- Seta Blue: Adds components to a negative feedback circuit around the transformer, giving control on the response to the mid-high frequency range. Completing “Red”‘s parameter action and combined with this, two new orders of magnitude are added to the overall dynamic palette. To hear its effect, focus on the high frequency range while moving the control vertically.
- Group Bypass: You can assign each instance to a group. When the group bypass is active on one instance (the menu close to group assignment) all the instances assigned to the same group are bypassed at once. This is extremely useful to check the overall effect of the transformers on the mix.
AnyTesla for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX) is available to purchase for $29.99 USD.
