SKnote have released an update to Disto, their faithful emulation of one of the best compressors, the Distressor by Empirical Labs. Disto v3.0 is available for only €49.99.
It includes all the features of the original hardware unit plus some modern extensions like a Mid/Side encoding matrix for special processing of stereo signals.
Being the hardware unit mono (it processes only one audio channel), we included a couple of them, with the Mid/Side matrix around them. The first (top) unit controls both channels when in stereo mode or the Mid component in Mid/Side mode. The second unit (middle) is an active interface for Side in Mid/side mode only.
The third unit (bottom) extends the functions of the rack, by adding more features from another great unit from the same manufacturer.
This new version 3 (v.3) integrates the algorithm from previous Disto-S into the complete structure of Disto. The menu at the bottom lets you pick one out of four (!) different algorithms that vastly extend the possibilities of the original hardware, giving Disto an almost endless range of possibilities to control dynamics in a creative, easy and pleasant way. Select “Faithful” mode for the algorithm from Disto-S.
Usual autogain feature makes comparing processed to dry signal easier, by keeping levels matched.
v.3 includes a new “range” option switch for the Hottitude control. Set it to “wide” for the original range or the other way for a narrow gain range and finer control on the headroom.
v.3 updates the VST versions to VST3, adds an Apple-silicon-native version, and a few improvements, including a better preset management system. VST3 and AU are Apple-silicon-native while AAX is currently being tested, with the announced release of the Apple-silicon-native version of Pro Tools*.
Disto v.3 uses our new self-activating system for easy and immediate activation. refer to included readme file.
Disto v3 is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
