Hey Guys!

I'm proud to pre-announce the release of Adern's Music Pack. These are some tools I've been keeping to myself as a "secret weapon" in my studio, but now i decided to make these public so everybody can enjoy them.

The pack includes 3 plugins:

Image
Fat Cat is a dynamic saturator, which saturates the quiet parts of the sound, to achieve a special warm compression effect. While most compressors reduce the volume of the loud parts, Fat cat increases the volume of the quiet parts while retaining the volume of the loud parts. This effect, altho similar to compression, also changes the character of the sound, giving it more body, and subtly enriching it with low order overtones. It is impossible to clip the signal with fat cat, as the saturation protects the compressor from clipping. Fat Cat is excellent with male vocals, bass, drums, synths, and any other warmth craving tracks.


Image
Muzeq is a musical sounding 5-band parametric EQ with a special filter design for an exceptionally smooth and velvety sound. The device has 3 slopes for each band: 6db for smooth broad processing, 12db for most EQ jobs, and 18db for extreme EQ settings. All bands can be completely removed from the signal allowing to create notch filters from the bands, or lowpass/high-pass from the shelfs. While Muzeq can be used for subtle EQ operations, it can also be used for extreme filtering using the notch capabilities of the filters and the 18db slopes. To avoid the dangers of clipping, and also add some warmth to the signal, a soft clipping mechanism protects the output of the device.


Image
Sat is a saturation module. It gently saturates the incoming signal, boosting the perceived volume and fattening the overall presence of tone. This effect makes it ideal to make a track stick out in the mix without the use of EQ or compression, or to enhance the details of a mix. Sat comes in 3 flavors: Soft, Fat, Warm, and has only one control: saturation amount. While the effect is very subtle, it is a great tool to use after compressors, to get that extra oomph the compressor couldn't give.


Features:
• FleXor technology
• High quality and musical sound
• 96khz compatible
• Can load as insert effect
• Full phase compensation
• Anti-Clip protection
• Xite compatible

All 3 plugins will have Demo versions, and will be available for download and purchase by this weekend.
Price: 199eu
discount price for FleXor, Xor and Mojo owners: 159eu

Nice. Will definitely fill a void on the platform. I don't think there has been an upwards saturating compressor before :). The EQ looks nice also.

My only Q; Can I load it up in XTC? I know Mojo does so Adern design dictates it probably will.

Well done!!!
IMO pity only for the graphics, personally I prefer the flexor's face or something more contemporary ;)
These plugs seems to come directly from Scope 3.1c enviroment...

It's possible to buy only one at 66€ instead the full set for 199? It could be interesting to grow the collection time to time... less expensive for someone... :)

I'm waiting for the demo!!! :D
Just curious for the sound.

Just on top of my mind. Not really the right place though, but I don't think the fat I/II status is declared in the parameter list of FAT II insert. ;)
