Kompresor vs WaveCloud

Kompresor is a versatile and powerful, yet easy to use, compressor. With several compression algorithms and processing modes under the hood, Kompresor is suitable for use on a wide variety of signals, on the mix bus, or for mastering. For the most transparent compression, ideal for mastering, use AUTO or "AUTO A" envelopes. Use PROGRAM envelope for an easy mix bus gluing effect. If you are after the classic style compression switch to feedback configuration. Select RMS detector for a smoother compression suitable for vocals, guitars, etc. Five processing modes allow you to go from the standard stereo (L/R) compression mode to more surgical modes like compressing the mid (sum) or side (diff) signal only, or compressing exclusively the left or right channel. To help you fine tune compression parameters, enable DELTA feature to monitor only the difference between the uncompressed and compressed signal. Last but not least, Kompresor has an external side chain input for those times when you need to duck one signal based on another one. Features: – Four types of compression Attack/Release envelopes SIMPLE, AUTO, AUTO A, and PROGRAM. – Five processing modes LEFT, RIGHT, MID, SIDE, STEREO – External sidechaining (only in hosts that support external sidechaining) – Very fast attack time - 0.01ms – Ratio up to 30:1 – Soft knee up to 50dB width – Feedforward and feedback configuration – Peak and RMS detectors – Sidechain high pass filter – Parallel processing – Monitoring only the difference between the uncompressed and compressed signal – Intelligent auto makeup gain – 4x oversampling to avoid aliasing – Plenty of factory presets to provide a starting point Kompresor is primarily an AUv3 effect. To use Kompresor as a plug-in, you will need an AUv3 compatible host such as Garageband, AUM, etc. Kompresor application is there to provide a user manual and a chance to use Kompresor with the microphone input. You can try Kompresor on a macOS or a Windows based machine by downloading the demo version of the plug-in (VST3, AUv2, AAX) from our website (https://www.shatteredglassaudio.com) and running it in a DAW of your choice. Sonically speaking there are no differences between the iOS and macOS/Windows versions of Kompresor.

WaveCloud is an innovative granular synthesizer that offers powerful tools for manipulating and playing sounds. Granular synthesis divides an audio sample into tiny fragments, called grains, each typically a few milliseconds in length. These grains are then manipulated independently in terms of pitch, duration, position in time, and amplitude. Unlike traditional synthesis, the capability to manipulate tiny grains of audio offers enormous precision of sound control, transformation, and compositional possibilities. WaveCloud offers a wide range of tools for experimentation – oscillator, LFOs, filters, envelopes, routing matrix, innovative WaveGlide and Orbit modules for grain movement, effects, MPE support, extensive waveform editing, customizable themes, MIDI CC control, aftertouch, audio pool manager, and 200+ presets to get you started. Granular synthesis is extremely versatile and can produce a vast range of sounds and textures, from subtle, atmospheric sounds to complex, dynamic ones. WaveCloud offers dozens of parameters, enabling you to sculpt the sound grains in any way you wish – textural pads and atmospheres, time-stretched effects, glitchy and stutter effects, vocal and instrumental manipulations, granular synthesis percussive sounds, experimental effects, as well as microtonal and harmonic soundscapes. WaveCloud features a drag and drop system for importing and exporting of audio files and presets. It has its own built-in Preset and Audio Managers to help keep everything in order. WaveCloud even features a fully-fledged zoomable audio editor along with a suite of tools to crop, fade, cut, copy, paste, and normalise your samples. We include a morphing 3-state Oscillator to support the granular engine. The granular engine allows up to 50 grains per second per note, with grain lengths up to a second in length. Grains can be sculpted with our morphing envelope generator, manipulated with our LFOs, FEGs and VCFs, and passed through lots of randomisation to keep things continually evolving. WaveCloud also features two unique features for adding movement to audio grains. Orbit mode allows you to play sweeping patterns tied to the physical host tempo of your DAW, and WaveGlide is a sequencer with glides and fades from one location to another. To top it all off, we include 7 built-in effects, delay, reverb, chorus, overdrive, phaser, resonator, and 8-band EQ. The resonator controls per-note feedback and dispersion for amazing MPE effects. WaveCloud is not only a deep and powerful granular synth but also a fun way to create many incredible sounds.
