 description: Analog BBD Stereo Flanger
+details: |-
+  Antresol is a modern software recreation of a classic 1970s flanger stompbox, resurrected with exquisite attention to sonic detail. It is designed to appeal not only to performing guitarists, but to instrumentalists and producers of virtually any genre, from rock guitar riffs to melodic synth lines. The original hardware, conceived in the mid-70s, became a benchmark for flanger-type effects thanks to its uniquely rich character defined by luxuriously harmonious interacting resonances.
+
+  The key element around which Antresol is designed, an analog BBD integrated circuit, posed unique challenges for digital emulation, particularly around the feedback parameter's peaks and notches in the frequency response. The result is a refined BBD emulation using quasi-analog signal representation throughout, guaranteeing behavior much more akin to the original physical circuit, while avoiding unwanted artifacts such as aliasing and offering the rock-solid stability only digital can provide.
+
+  An exceptionally accurate emulation of an impulse-controlled, solid-state analog delay line (a Bucket Brigade Device) is responsible for Antresol's impeccable sonic characteristics. The plugin features a fully controllable stereo LFO with adjustable phase and tempo sync, the ability to delink stereo channels and control parameters independently for Left/Right or Mid/Side. Mistress mode automates mixing and feedback control for the classic flanger sound, while M/S mode allows switching between L/R or M/S processing with a Channel X-Fade knob to shape the stereo sound stage.

 description: High Quality Bit Crusher
+details: |-
+  Decimort recreates the coloration and adds the vintage sampler's magic to any sound. Electronic music (especially Hip-Hop) producers have long been aware that classic samplers (such as early Akai and E-MU units) had a character and sound all their own: they added a "grit" and "color" to the samples and loops they played back which made them sound "fat" and sit well in a mix. This sound coloration was due to the encoding techniques, lower sample rate and bit depth, and conversion circuits used by these early samplers. Decimort recreates this coloration and adds that vintage sampler magic back to any loop, any bassline, or any sound played through it for that matter. Beyond vintage sampler emulation, it's also the perfect bit-crusher with filter, capable of extreme settings for dramatic results.
+
+  The advanced signal processing algorithms within Decimort simulate the complex behavior of the entire (re-)sampling path that exists in every AD/DA converter, and with version 2 comes far greater control over the process. Decimort has zero internal aliasing, in fact, the only aliasing present is the emulated aliasing of the classic samplers it models. Unwelcome artefacts are completely absent in the processed signal: only the desirable, modeled ones remain.
+
+  Far more than just a bit-crusher, it includes an approximative anti-alias filter and image filter, adjustable jitter and dithering, and two alternative quantization algorithms (mid-riser and mid-tread, each with a drastically different dynamics response) for total control over the process. A multimode filter works in pre or post, along with the resampler module, to allow further sculpting of the signal.
+specs: |-
+  - Approximation filter: steep low-pass pre filter coupled with the resampling frequency, removing harmonic content above it to prevent aliasing
+  - Images filter: post-resampling filter synchronized with the resampler, controls amount of aliasing images appearing above resampling frequency
+  - Adjustable jitter: introduces short-period random fluctuations to the resampling frequency for added harmonic distortion
+  - Two quantization methods: mid-riser and mid-tread decimation algorithms
+  - Multimode filter, pre or post resampler

 description: Multiband Distortion Unit
+details: |-
+  Devastor 2 is a multiband distortion unit built around an ultra low-aliasing diode-clipper emulation. Special antialiasing techniques applied to the output signal keep it free of the artifacts that make digital distortion sound cold and unmusical, resulting in a warm, musical, high-quality tone.
+
+  Three filters make the unit multiband and rapidly configurable, offering nine different connection topologies between the filters and the diode-clipper. The filters can process the signal before or after the clipper, and some configurations let the filters work alongside the clipper for an expanded sonic palette. Unlike the peaking-EQ filters common in classic multiband distortion units, Devastor's filters are modeled after analog synthesizer filters (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject) with adjustable resonance and cutoff.
+
+  A one-knob dynamics-flattener module compresses the input signal to manage loudness before it is clipped, and an optionally activated output limiter with auto-makeup tames the master output while adding pleasant coloration.
+
+  The plug-in supports MIDI Learn for easy controller assignment, and offers several UI sizes with HiDPI support for a good fit on any screen.

+
+  The original 909 sounds a bit dry and requires extra processing for the audio to truly bloom, but Drumazon's effect chain is fully equipped to provide the right flavor out-of-the-box, with two bus effect chains offering distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, EQ and dynamics algorithms that can also be used creatively with the addition of a filter.

A broad feature set and expressiveness make drum programming an inspiring and easy experience, with an easy-to-use sequencer featuring Tap recording, a Randomizer, and hundreds of factory patterns.
+
+  Per-step Flam and several variants of Substep with editable properties enrich rhythms with greater expressiveness, and a drag'n'drop MIDI export function lets users quickly finish work on a pattern in their DAW.
