REFERENCE-BASED MASTERING: - In addition to the raw input audio file, another (professionally produced) track can be loaded as a reference - Easy and immediate switching between both tracks for comparison and adjusting the app's controls to attain the desired sound - Seek bars with waveform previews and one-click seeking - One-click section looping for focusing on a certain part of the track SPECTRUM ANALYSIS: - High-resolution and responsive FFT averaging frequency analyzer - Differential Spectrum feature can show the spectral differences between input and reference track for visual matching - Adjustable response time (averaging) - Precise Full-resolution or Smooth Half Octave Averaged display EQUALIZATION: - Transparent Low-Cut Filter with adjustable cutoff frequency and 12 or 24 dB/octave slope - High-Shelving EQ with either a gentle characteristic or a steeper 12 dB/octave slope and variable gain and frequency for fine-tuning brilliance - Up to three freely adjustable general-purpose peaking EQs - Visualization of overall response curve MULTIBAND DYNAMICS: - Three frequency bands with adjustable crossover frequencies - Two selectable crossover types (custom-designed, smooth Trinity crossover or more surgical phase-corrected 24 dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley (LR4) crossover) - Ratio, Attack, Knee, Release and Gain controls per band - Global "Compress" control and per-band Density control with intelligent make-up gain replace the traditional "Threshold" controls for easier operation - Precise gain reduction meters - The compressor section's response can optionally be included in the spectrum response curve display - Solo toggles to isolate bands for precise tuning NORMALIZATION: - Automatic base normalization of input file - Two realtime normalizers (pre- and post multiband section) with optional analog saturation for transient cleanup, additional loudness maximization or sound shaping MULTIBAND STEREO PROCESSING: - Simple but effective Three-Band Stereo Width (M/S) controls from Mono to Extra-Wide - Fine-tuned with love, individually per band, for keeping perceived loudness and giving useful results - Basic Goniometer (Phase Scope) WAVESHAPER: - Optional Wave Shaping with five selectable algorithms - HQ toggle for High-Quality Oversampling LIMITER / CLIPPER: - Either a look-ahead brickwall limiter or a hard clipper can be used in the final stage depending on taste - Adjustable Attack and Release - Adjustable output ceiling from -2 to 0 dBFS METERING: - Responsive and accurate stereo output meters - RMS or LUFS (Momentary, Short Term, Integrated) metering - PEAK metering always shown simultaneously - Normalizers with accurate saturation / clip indication EXPORT: - Export as 16/24-bit standard or 32-bit float WAV file - Optional rectangular dithering NOTE: Trinity currently does not support running in the background, so your audio will stop as soon as you leave the app or lock the device. This might change in a future update.
The Voltour Valve Enhancer
This audio plugin emulates a renowned hardware unit, offering three distinct valve modes for warming up sounds, adding aggression with odd harmonics, or creating unique tonal textures. It expands on the original hardware with features like parallel processing, continuous filtering, and phase blending.
- Three valve bias modes (Triode, Pentode 1, Pentode 2)
- Mix parameter for parallel processing
- Continuous filter control
- Phase parameter for dry/wet blending
- Auto wet output leveling
- Stereo imaging link parameter

Nembrini Audio The Voltour 2 Channel All Valve Enhancer plugin is based on Thermionic Culture The Culture Vulture* unit. BIAS • T Triode valves and is good for just “warming up” a sound. • P1 Pentode mode to add odd harmonic which make the sound more aggressive, but retaining that valve character. • P2 Very unusual way of configuring a valve, even giving an extra octave at higher bias settings. Extended the possibilities of the original hardware: • Mix parameter used for parallel processing • Continuous Filter parameter • Phase parameter to blend the dry signal with the reversed phase wet signal • Auto wet output leveling • Link parameter allows for perfectly matched stereo imaging Works as a standalone app, AudioUnit v3 effect, or Inter-App Audio effect Legal Disclaimer: The Culture Vulture is a registered trademark of Thermionic Culture Ltd.
