Processing Specifications

Pure Compressor II, as all Flux:: plug-ins, provide

• Up to 8 channels Input/Output.
• 64-bits internal floating point processing.
• Sampling rate up to 384 kHz DXD (Pyramix DSP based).
• Sampling rate up to 384 kHz for native (AU/RTAS/VST).

Compatibility

All major native formats are supported

• Windows - XP, Vista, 7 all in both 32 and 64 bits.
  • VST (2.4)
  • RTAS*
• Mac OS X - 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 in 32 bits.
  • VST (2.4)
  • AU
  • RTAS*

*The RTAS version requires ProTools 7 or later.

Pure Compressor II produces a wide range of compressions from ultra clean subtle compressions to classic heavy pumping ones. It's up to your artistic choices not to the technology limitations.

New functions have been added to the original Pure Compressor. External sidechain inputs are now available. New dynamic detection algorithms are available. The MS Width control manages stereo signals. A Hold pararmeter and a Threshold for Hysteresis complement the settings . Classic modes and Feed Backward modes are now available for signal level detection completing the legacy Solera mode. Various new 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-ins.

Pure Compressor II manages digital audio up to 384 KHz, up to 8 channels. This is the native version of the plug-ins for AU, RTAS and VST.

Signal Processing Features

• Input/Output gain controls for adjusting the levels before and after processing.
• Phase invert of the processed signal.
• Dry Mix control (Dry/Wet with gain compensation) allowing for parallel processing or for blending some of the original "peak" into the processed signal.
• Clipper, a discrete peak limiter at the very last stage of the processing chain rounding off the peaks smooth and musically.
• Bypass routes the incoming signal direct to the output for a true smooth transition between processed and clean signal.

Preset and Parameter Handling

Preset/Parameter slots

To enhance the workflow the two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time. Apart from saving each preset, a "Global Preset" containing both the A and B settings, and the position of the "Morphing Slider", can be saved.

Parameter Morphing Slider with Automation

The Morphing Slider provides morphing between the parameter settings of slot A/B allowing for really creative and useful real-time tweaking. Enabling the Automation control button exposes the Morphing Slider to the host automation.
