REVENANTTape colour

The most neutral character. Adds density without colouring - stays composed even fully turned up.

01 / Choose your source

02 / Shape the sound

Press Play, then adjust the sliders or try a starting point. Use Bypass to compare with the original. You can also load your own audio.

A little weight. A lot of presence.

Give your sound
some substance.

Tape colour that follows your playing. Bring weight to drums, presence to a vocal, or a little cohesion to the mix bus.

Mix busDrumsVocals

01

Choose the character.

Five voicings, from composed and clean to fuller mids and darker weight. Start with the one that suits your source.

02

Drive the tape.

Input Trim sets how hard you hit it. Quiet passages stay nearly clean; louder moments grow harmonics and compression.

03

Find the balance.

Set Process for colour, then Mix for the blend. Match the output and compare with the original.

Inside the signal chain

The harmonic generator is level normalised: the signal is divided by its own envelope, harmonics are produced with Chebyshev polynomials, and the result is scaled back up. That places the generated content exactly on the second and third multiple of the fundamental, rather than as broadband dirt in between.

Record and reproduce equalisation nearly cancel. The highs are lifted before the saturation and taken back out afterwards, so the net response stays close to flat, but the highs went through the saturation on the way. That is real tape behaviour, and it is the only part you hear.

Because the whole process is level dependent, Input Trim is a tone control rather than a level control: it decides how hard the signal hits the tape, and therefore how much colour there is to have.

The 5 characters

One signal chain, five sets of coefficients. They are voicings of the same engine rather than five separate processors: pick the one that suits the source, then set how far it goes.

01
Luminescent
The most neutral. Stays composed even fully turned up.
02
Iridescent
The same magnetic character, with a fatter bottom and fuller mids.
03
Radiant
A firmer compression curve with midrange push.
04
Luster
Starts gentler than any of the others, and becomes as aggressive as Dark Essence towards full scale.
05
Dark Essence
The most aggressive. Widest frequency picture, and it damps sibilance dynamically: on a vocal it works as a de-esser that does not sound like one.

Inside Revenant

01

Harmonics where they belong

Chebyshev polynomials on a level-normalised signal put the generated content on the 2nd and 3rd harmonic of the fundamental, not as broadband dirt in between.

02

Brightness in three casts

Gold sits close to flat, Sapphire brighter, Opal warmer, easing the top end and favouring the bottom. The tilt scales with Process rather than being a fixed EQ.

03

Input Trim is a tone control

±10 dB deciding how hard the signal hits the tape. Because the whole process is level dependent, this is where you set how much colour there is to have, not where you set gain.

04

Linear phase oversampling

1x to 8x, 4x by default, through FIR half-band filters. More expensive than IIR, but Process blends the wet path back into the dry, and phase rotation there would comb filter instead of colour.

05

Mid/side with a Side amount

Process mid and side separately. At 0 % the sides stay untouched, saturation into the centre with the stereo image left alone; at 200 % they reach full amount at half the Process setting.

06

Auto Gain that stays out of the way

A deliberately sluggish RMS match between input and output, slow enough that the tape compression survives instead of being undone.

07

Bit transparent at zero

With Process at 0, trims flat, Mix at 100 % and Auto Gain off, the entire chain including oversampling is bypassed. Output equals input, bit for bit, and latency drops to zero.

08

Mix bus safe

Multi-mono processing with no coupled detector between left and right, so pushing a full mix does not smear transients or collapse the stereo image.

Put it on the mix bus.

All Plugins

Independent audio tools for colour, dynamics, movement and texture.

Saturation

Weight, colour and the harmonics of circuits that were never perfectly linear.

Dynamics

Level and resonance control that acts only where the problem is, and only while it lasts.

  • ResoTamer

    Coming soon

    Turns harsh resonances into musical overtones

  • Reso:DeHarsh

    Coming soon

    Multiband de-esser and harshness control

Modulation

Movement over time, treated as a different problem in the low end than in the high.

  • Split Chorus

    Coming soon

    A chorus that treats highs and lows as different problems

Texture

Processors that generate their own behaviour instead of following a curve you set.

  • Swarm

    Coming soon

    Eight resonant filters that tune themselves by flocking

Kits.
