LTL SILVER BULLET mk2 vs TwinPath

The Silver Bullet mk2 Plugin is a faithful digital recreation of our flagship Silver Bullet mk2 hardware unit. We meticulously modeled every analog circuit down to the component level. To push the state of the art further, we developed a new patent-pending technology called Dyna Realism™, allowing users to experience an inspiring spectrum of analog realism in the digital domain. Use the three cascading Mojo Amps, powerful Tone Shaping EQ, and no-fuss ASPECT RATIO stereo image enhancer to sweeten and glue your mix bus, groups, and individual tracks in the DAW. The plugin accurately reproduces the harmonically exciting sound of the original while adding extra features that extend its versatility. Explore new digital Colour modules and Circuit Bending options exclusive to the plugin. A MODERN ANALOG CLASSIC – NOW DIGITAL The Silver Bullet mk2 Plugin is a results-oriented processor with an intuitive interface designed to deliver amazing tone like its analog counterpart so you can focus on making music. Engage MOJO. Apply filtering, tone shaping, and stereo image enhancement. Delight in how easy that was. CASCADING MOJO The 3-band Baxandall EQ features a Pultec-inspired low end and smooth, expensive-sounding top end worthy of renowned mastering EQs. The beloved AIR circuit now has its own dedicated control. Tighten extreme low end with the TIGHT filter. The resonant, tape-like 25 Hz setting excels on mixes, while the 50 Hz setting is optimized for individual instruments. Smooth digital top end with silky VINTAGE mode inspired by legendary 1970s British consoles. TONE SHAPING The original LF and HF frequency options have been expanded to four frequencies per band. AIR now has its own control for even greater flexibility. STEREO IMAGE ENHANCEMENT ASPECT RATIO enhances stereo width, height, and clarity without the phasey artifacts of many widening effects. ASPECT RATIO delivers masterful results at the touch of a button. No fussy tweaking required. CUSTOMIZE MOJO WITH C MOJO / COLOUR The plugin includes the hardware expansion slot plus exclusive modules developed with Unfiltered Audio: Hitmaker 4000 – 1980s VCA console saturation Bitmaker 1200 – 12-bit sample-rate-reduced console character inspired by late-80s samplers Vinyl Saturation – warm vinyl saturation based on Needlepoint Helical Scan – VHS-inspired warble based on LO-FI-AF VHS AF – combines Vinyl Saturation and Helical Scan Hitmaker Comp – Mix Lord, Punch, and Gentle compressor modes WHAT IS ANALOG? Our goal was to capture the essence of analog, including variations, idiosyncrasies, imperfections, and delightful surprises. Every circuit was modeled down to the component level and enhanced with Dyna Realism™. DYNA REALISM™ Dyna Realism™ uses our Virtual Parts Bin and Serial Number systems to construct unique static and dynamic circuit models across a spectrum of variation and realism. Each setting reveals increasingly rich variations within and between channels, bringing life to static emulations. SERIAL NUMBERS Every plugin instance receives a unique built-to-order digital circuit associated with your license. The rear-panel serial number is functional and influences Dyna Realism™ behavior. Enter any number sequence to alter your build. CIRCUIT BEND Virtually hack the circuits without risk. BEND 1 and BEND 2 short power rails in different processing areas to create distorted and broken textures for creative exploration.

TwinPath enables parallel effects processing using your existing Audio Units, without configuring busses or complex routings. It hides the details of managing multiple signal paths, and offers a compact, quickly accessible control interface. The result is a consistent setup you can easily recreate in any DAW, regardless of how each host handles audio routing. Among its possible applications, TwinPath pairs especially well with delay effects for dynamic performances. Shifting focus from deep editing to switching between (or blending) entire modules opens up a new perspective and new features – especially when feedback delays are involved. And of course, both approaches can be applied at the same time. Once inserted into a track’s effects chain, TwinPath handles splitting and merging audio streams and provides several convenience features. It offers two main classes of operation: CROSS-FADE • Blend between two effects chains using a single control • Switchable pre/post operation: pre mode preserves effect tails and lets feedback effects "breathe", while post mode offers instant, direct control DUAL MONO • Run different effects chains for Left/Right, Mid/Side, or a continuous blend between them • Channel mapping and FX bias are smooth, performance-friendly controls • Quick and efficient workflow replacement that overcomes functional limits of stock dual mono modes, such as restrictions on independent preset loading PLEASE NOTE: • An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app
