Do you remember the single most iconic phaser you've ever heard? For the first time, there's a good chance of finding that exact sound captured in a plugin. FEATURES: • Faithful reproduction of a legendary 4-stage phaser pedal from the late 70's - early 80's • Complex effects can be built using composite LFO's, parallel phaser structures, as well as an independent modulation system for the sweep range • Barberpole or "Shepard" phaser included: infinitely rising / falling modulation that can optionally be combined with sweep range modulation • Strong, rhythmic / syncopated patterns can be created by configuring different LFO frequency ratios within the various modulation sources • Mid-Side modes allow adding special phasing effects to stereo sounds • Exact visualization of the notch filters' real-time frequency response, with different stereo options • Exceptional multirate performance: results are less sampling rate-dependent than what's currently available with most digital phasers (even from major manufacturers) • Designed to be an anthology app extensible with additional hardware-based or synthetic analog models in future MIDI NOTE EVENT RECEPTION: RealPhase can accept MIDI note messages, syncing an envelope-based modulation source to note on and off events. This makes it easy to use RealPhase as a powerful analog modeling OTA-based resonant notch filter with any synth or sampler. PLEASE NOTE: • An Audio Unit v3 compatible host app is required to use this plugin • Supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz

At the end of a long day at the mixing desk, when everything has finally fallen into place, comes the best moment (just before pouring that glass of whisky): load an instance of NoLimits2 at the end of the processing chain, turn that big gain knob, lean back and enjoy. Its predecessor, NoLimits, was certainly a highly acclaimed limiting plugin already and did a very good job for many years, but NoLimits2 definitely takes it to another level. From ultraclean to tastefully saturated, NoLimits2 will make your mixes louder in style. NoLimits2 is a highend audio limiting plugin featuring: - a comprehensive set of 4 different limiting algorithms - all of them follow entirely different limiting strategies, giving you a choice of really unique sounds - from clean to nicely saturated, it’s all there - further control over attack, release and lookahead times allow for even more finetuning - up to 8x oversampling to keep all harmonics of the more colourful modes in check - stereo channel linking - state-of-the-art LUFS loudness metering, compliant to all the latest standards NoLimits2 is an AUv3 plugin which is compatible with all relevant hosts on iOS, like Logic, Garageband, Cubasis,... you name it.
