From FLUX Pro Audio and Picture Development
Pure Expander v3 is providing full control over the general behavior and performance characteristics of how it responds to the incoming audio signal and offers a wide range of expansion processing, capable of anything from mild expansion to hard noise-gating. Pure Expander v3 is within its field a truly versatile processor which with ease can be used for soft downward expansion in order to clean up spillage issues on (live) recordings or drum sessions.
Pure Expander v3 supports sample rates up to 384 KHz and provides processing in up to 8 channels for surround/multichannel work.
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.
