RoughRider3 vs BLEASS Monolit

With almost a quarter million downloads, the free Rough Rider compressor from Audio Damage is one of the most popular plugin effects on the planet. RoughRider3 expands on the original RoughRider and RoughRider2. New features: • External Sidechain Input in hosts that support it. (Currently only AUM) • Sidechain HPF control (works on both normal operation and external sidechain, for removing the low end from the compression algorithm.) • Input and Output level controls, for easier level tuning. • FULL BANDWIDTH control removes the warming features and high end attenuation from the original RoughRider, for a cleaner sound. All this in addition to the original RoughRider compression you know and love. RoughRider3 installs both an AUv3 and a standalone with Inter-App Audio.

BLEASS Monolit combines the warm analogue character of BLEASS Alpha with the expressive sound design capabilities of BLEASS Omega. The result is a powerful and efficient mono synthesizer designed for basses, leads, arpeggios, sound effects, and electronic textures. Monolit delivers rich sound while maintaining very low CPU usage, allowing smooth performance even with multiple instances. Its streamlined interface makes sound design fast and intuitive, with responsive controls that feel precise and immediate on touch devices. For instant inspiration, the Dice button generates new synth patches using a musical randomization engine designed to produce usable and unique results. A wide library of factory presets is included, covering basses, leads, sequences, effects, and more, with additional sound packs available separately. Whether you are producing electronic music, designing cinematic soundscapes, or exploring experimental synthesis, Monolit provides a fast and accessible workflow with deep creative potential.
