Adern Announces "Music Pack" Musical Mixing Tools for the Scope Platform

Adern is proud to announce the release of an exciting new plug-in pack for the Scope platform. Adern's Music Pack consists of three plugins which are designed to behave in an exceptionally musical manner: Fat Cat is a dynamic saturator, which saturates the quiet parts of the sound, to achieve a special warm compression effect. While most compressors reduce the volume of the loud parts, Fat Cat increases the volume of the quiet parts while retaining the volume of the loud parts. This effect, although similar to compression, also changes the character of the sound, giving it more body, and subtly enriching it with low order overtones. It is impossible to clip the signal with Fat Cat, as the saturation protects the compressor from clipping. Fat Cat is excellent with male vocals, bass, drums, synths, and any other warmth craving tracks. Museq is a musical sounding 5-band parametric EQ with special filter algorithms, designed for an exceptionally smooth and velvety sound. Each band is switchable between 3 slopes: 6dB/octave for smooth broad processing, 12dB/octave for most EQ jobs, and 18dB/octave for extreme EQ settings. All bands can be completely removed from the signal, allowing the creation of notch filters from parametric bands, or low-pass/high-pass filter from the high and low shelf filters. While Museq can be used for subtle EQ operations, it can also be used for extreme filtering using the notch capabilities of the filters and the 18dB slopes. To avoid clipping, and also to add some warmth to the signal, a soft-clipping mechanism exists before the output of the device. Sat is a saturation module. It gently saturates the incoming signal, boosting the perceived volume and fattening the overall presence of tone. This effect is ideal for emphasizing a track in the mix without the use of EQ or compression, or to enhance the details of an entire mix. Sat is switchable between 3 flavors: Soft, Fat and Warm, and has only one control, for the amount of saturation. While the effect is very subtle, it is a great tool to use after compressors, to achieve that extra 'oomph' that the compressor couldn't provide. These plug-ins are not analog emulations, but rather true digital instruments which take advantage of processes that are only available in the digital domain. Adern is proud to present a new type of warmth – Digital warmth. Features:
