This one is on sale for €49.99.Blue Cat Patchwork Digital Plug-In Patchbayīlue Cats Patchwork is a digital plug-in patchbay that combines up to 64 VST, VST3, Audio Unit or built-in plug-ins in one instance in each DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Uniquely, the “back” of the unit offers controls as well like EQ, compression range, and the mode of detection. This recording is called an ‘impulse response’ of that particular space. Convolution plugins utilize actual audio recordings of a physical space’s reverb in response to a short sample sound. But perhaps the most innovative feature is a variable Pre-delay that manipulates the envelope of the signal in novel and interesting ways. Universal Audio is renowned for making extremely high-end emulations of historic audio equipment. It also provides a Mix knob for parallel compression without needing to set up any extra routing and easy side-chain options. A handy Link button between input and output stages means you can quickly dial in compression that is automatically gain-staged to unity volume. This takes into consideration the performance of the electronic components like the transformers, transistors, and FET. It uses TAE analogue modeling to accurately model the signal path of the hardware. Arturia Comp FET-76Īs far as the best 1176 plug-ins go, this is one of the best combinations of quality and affordability you’ll likely find. You’ll get some other fantastic plug-ins along the way.
All models are capable of the legendary “All Buttons In” mode.Īccess to these models requires going in on Slate’s Virtual Analog Bundle, but it is well worth it.

Lastly, the Modern model is clean and crisp – certainly a reimagining of what a FET compressor can do.Īll models include the standard input, output, attack, and release controls with an additional mix knob for dialing in the compression in parallel. Vintage is unique in that it offers two different versions of the Blue Stripe model, made famous by legendary mix engineers like Chris Lord-Alge. The 116 is Slate’s take on the LN Blackface variant.

It has attack times that range from 20ms to 800ms. These include the transistors and harmonic distortion. This means the bundle gives you access to the classic Blackface, Blue Stripe, and LN models.Īs with all of the best 1176 emulations, every element of the circuitry from the analog units was painstakingly recreated in the digital realm. There are three different variations, including Rev. It doesn’t get any more authentic than this collection of three of the most legendary 1176 designs of all time, meticulously emulated.
