Eventide Omnipressor. The Eventide Omnipressor, introduced in the early 1970s, revolutionized the world of audio with its groundbreaking dynamics processing capabilities. This legendary processor, brainchild of Eventide's founder Richard Factor, continues to inspire producers and sound designers today. A Historic First: Paving the Way: The Omnipressor holds a special place in audio history. It was the first dynamics effects processor ever created, opening doors to a universe of sonic possibilities. The Vision of a Genius: Developed by Richard Factor, the Omnipressor embodied his vision for dynamic control, forever shaping the landscape of audio production. Unmatched Versatility: A Universe of Dynamics at Your Fingertips: The Omnipressor offered unprecedented control over all aspects of audio dynamics. From subtle adjustments to extreme effects, it empowered sound engineers to sculpt their audio with unparalleled precision. Introducing the Sidechain: The Omnipressor introduced the now-ubiquitous concept of the sidechain, allowing for complex triggering and gating effects. A Glimpse into the Future: Eventide's forward-thinking design incorporated "look ahead" processing techniques, a concept that remains essential in modern audio production. The Omnipressor Legacy: A Timeless Classic: The "dark meter" unit, as the original hardware is affectionately known, continues to be a sought-after tool by leading producers and audio engineers around the world. Faithful Revival: The Eventide Omnipressor plug-in meticulously captures the essence of the original hardware, offering a powerful and versatile dynamics processor for the modern DAW environment. From Subtle Nuance to Radical Transformation: Precision Control: The Function control provides a vast range of compression and expansion ratios, allowing for subtle dynamic shaping or aggressive sonic manipulation. Dynamic Reversal: Explore the unique world of dynamic reversal, where loud sounds become quiet and quiet sounds become loud, adding a touch of the unexpected to your productions. A Legacy Embraced by Legends: The Queen Effect: Eventide's rich history is intertwined with iconic musicians. The Omnipressor played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of Queen's legendary guitarist, Brian May. The Eventide Omnipressor: A true pioneer in the world of audio dynamics, offering timeless sonic potential and a rich legacy that continues to inspire generations of audio creators. Features: Dynamics Processing — capable of creating otherworldly sounds Dynamic Reversal — the first of its kind, soft signals come out loud and loud signals come out quiet, simulating tape reversal, a near unique attribute of this versatile compressor Function Control — sets a ratio over a continuous range allowing extreme expansion, to infinite compression, and is even able to push further into dynamic reversal Variable Control of attack and release time Variable Control of maximum gain and maximum attenuation Side Chain allows the level detect of the Omnipressor to be driven by another audio source Gating — amplitudes of signals that fall below a set threshold are ‘squooshed’ Expansion — widen a signal’s dynamic range, louder gets louder, softer gets softer Compression offers variable control of compression ratio Infinite Compression — if you want everything to come out at the same level, this is the feature for you Limiting — a fast, versatile limiter, useful for maintaining a loud sound Intuitive Interface — clean and easy to operate Dozens of presets to help you explore and learn the unique workings of the Omnipressor Tech Specs: MAC OS X macOS 10.9+(Intel and Apple Silicon) Plugins: VST-2, VST-3, AU, AAX WINDOWS Windows Windows 8+ Plugins: VST-2, VST-3, AAX
