Alchemist

Based on the acclaimed Flux dynamic processing algorithms, Alchemist includes a state-of-the-art IIR cross-over with selectable slopes from 18 dB per octave to 54 dB per octave, with variable corner frequencies. Every band owns a complete dynamic processing section including compressor, expander, de-compressor, de-expander working in parallel with independent Angel’s Share and Hysteresis parameters.
A transient processor and a MS controller are also available for each frequency band. The sound can be processed from single broadband to five bands. The whole processing is completed by an adjustable soft knee brick-wall clipper.
An Auto Delay function allows producing a zero attack by introducing a delay line on the processed signal. Angels Share is the parameter controlling the mix of an auto-ratio determined by the signal dynamic and, the manual ratio setting.
Hysteresis is the parameter controlling the mix of an auto-threshold determined by the signal dynamic and, the manual threshold value. Angels Share and Hysteresis are the key features of all Flux dynamic processors because they depend on on the dynamic range content of the signal, and not only on signal levels as standard processors do.
The Bitter Sweet section managing the transients, may be toggled pre or post processing using middle, side or stereo modes. Many detection algorithms are available including the original Solera. The MS Width control manages stereo signals. Every dynamic section has independent Hysteresis and Angels Share parameters. They all have a Hold pararmeter and a Threshold for Hysteresis.
Classic modes and Feed Backward modes are available for signal level detection completing the legacy Solera mode. Various profiles can be selected for detecting the dynamic of the signal. A Maximum mode can be engaged on the Hysteresis control permitting to process according both maximum values of the standard and the Hysteresis detection schemes.
Our exclusive A /B morphing system, enables a global and efficient control of the processing in a second. The preset manager allows to save global presets made of two different presets including the A / B morphing slider position. Note also that factory presets are provided for every plug-in.
Alchemist manages digital audio up to 384 KHz, up to 8 channels. This is the native version of the plug-in for AU, RTAS and VST.System requirementsVST host
Limitations in the unregistered version2 channels maximum processing (mono or stereo).
1 FS (32 KHz, 44.1 KHz, 48 KHz).
No parameters published to the Host software. So your settings will not be saved in the host software project (composition).
No Automations (so, control surface are not supported).
No presets Save/Recall, Import/Export (only factory presets can be loaded).
No side-chain (for plug-ins that support side-chain).
This version is not time bombed (will not expire in the future) but after 30 minutes of audio processing or UI utilization all the user interface controls will be disabled. The sound will still be processed, allowing you to continue working normally on your project but you will not be able to modify the settings until you restart the plug-in.
