Why you need the Alta MODA Unicomp: At its heart is a unique gain cell⁄sidechain combination which gives the Alta MODA Unicomp its own distinctive sonic character. The Unicomp's co mprehensive set of sidechain features gives it true versatility and accuracy which make the unit superbly suited for tracking, mixing and mastering applications. The Unicomp boasts a fully discrete, class 'A', high voltage minimalist audio path. The amplifiers are DC servo-coupled, eliminating all coupling capacitors in the signal path. The sidechain features a high accuracy logarithmic-scaled detector, with a choice of operating in RMS or peak rectifier modes. The Unicomp's personality is further changed with the addition of the Warmth control. Turning this control adds rich, second harmonic distortion to the signal that increases as compression increases, adding even more character to the sound. A switchable filter changes the contour of the affected signal, useful when processing more complex signals, such as mixes. Another unusual feature of the unit is the Blend control. The Blend control allows the operator to mix unprocessed signal back into the compressor's output path. This gives one the ability to create a more subtle compression effect on tracks such as vocals, or for blending back dry signal when heavy buss compression effects such as drum submixes are being processed. A high pass filter is included which blends only the higher audio frequencies back into the output path. Show more
