Isotonik Studios have released Volume One, an Ableton Live trio comprising Curves EQ, Tape and Optocomp, available for £33.75, £45.00 if all 3 devices are purchased separately.
Curves EQ
Curves EQ encapsulates the spirit of iconic Pultec EQ design, complemented with tools for modern production demands. Whether you’re shaping individual tracks, busses, or the entire mix, Curves EQ ensures great sound with minimal effort.
Features include:
- Drawing from the Pultec EQP-1A3’s unique circuitry, Curves EQ captures its essence in a fresh, modern design.
- Offers simultaneous low-frequency boost and cut, providing a distinctive frequency curve reminiscent of classic hardware.
- Toggle between a warm, vintage-like transformer output sound and a clear, contemporary output stage.
- Incorporates a high-pass filter for precise low-frequency sculpting.
- Achieve the desired warmth with adjustable saturation levels, or opt for a clean, transparent signal.
Tape
Tape is a versatile colourbox, inspired by the classic Studer tape decks. It captures the spirit and character of tape recordings in a convenient package for modern sonic explorations.
Features include:
- Three tape decks modeled after famous studio decks with two playback speed options. Each deck has a unique character — saturation curves and authentic frequency responses.
- Three tape models based on formulations with unique compression and saturation curves
- Tape hiss profile unique to each desk and tape with adjustable level
- Authentic deck and tape wear algorithms
Optocomp
Optocomp is a vintage-inspired compressor, infused with the warm character of classic gear like the LA-2A. Uniquely designed for Max for Live, it merges analog nuances with digital precision.
Employing a feedback design, Optocomp “listens” and adjusts for smooth, musical compression. Its program-dependent nature automatically fine-tunes attack and release based on the input, ensuring optimal results on everything from individual instruments to full mixes.
Features include:
- Easy to set up: Just push the input to get more compression and makeup with the Output gain. Everything else is taken care of.
- Vintage Tone: Emulates renowned optical compressors.
- Analog Output Stage: Capture the magic of transformer and tube saturation.
- Flexible Controls: High-pass sidechain, channel summing for stereo operation, and blend dial for parallel compression.
Volume One requires Ableton Live 10 / 11 Suite or Ableton Live 10 / 11 Standard with MaxforLive.
