Sonoris Multiband Compressor Description

The Sonoris Multiband Compressor was developed to be a versatile multiband compressor suitable for mastering or mixing. It is meant to be a compressor that can be very transparent but also have some “character”. It has three independent frequency bands followed by three compressors based on the Sonoris Compressor. The three bands are created with special designed filters to avoid phase cancellation problems. These filters are known as Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters and have a very natural, analog like quality. By design they mix back flat. Unlike linear phase filters they don’t introduce delay and are more efficient in use. Transparency can be achieved by selecting auto-release and opto envelope emulation together with two soft knees. If a more warm sound is needed you can for example choose RC envelope emulation with a harder knee. The SMBC has three high resolution gain reduction meters and a transfer graph, so you can actually see what you are doing. The ratio is allowed to be lower than 1 so it’s also an expander. Maximum ratio is infinity for limiting action. The individual bands can also set to limiting, what results in a multiband limiter! The output section of the SMBC also features a limiter. This guarantees that the output will never exceed the 0dB point. This limiter can also be used as an effect to “warm” up a signal. The SMBC is able to process one channel only. With this feature, in combination with the Sonoris MS Codec, it is possible to perform very powerful processing in the MS domain. Main features: Phase correct Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters Wide crossover ranges Ratio ranging from 0.5:1 to infinity for compression, expansion and limiting Attack ranging from 0 msec to 1 sec. Totally clickfree, even at low values Selectable auto-attack on each band Release ranging from 1 msec to 5 sec Selectable auto-release on each band Threshold ranging from -60 dBfs to 0 dBfs Very flexible knee setting from hard to soft in 100 steps A second knee that enables the compressor to adjust the ratio back to 1:1 above the threshold. Also adjustable in 100 steps from hard to soft knee Two envelope types, RC and Opto supports 4 modes: Normal, sidechain signal is the sum of left and right Highest, sidechain signal is the highest value of the left and right channel, for multiband limiting Left channel only for use with the Sonoris MS Codec plugin Right channel only, as above Output section limiter with limiter-action dependant light Mousewheel support, including global when holding the control key The gain transfers are shown graphically in real-time Three high resolution gain reduction meters Make up gain ranging from – 25 dB to + 25 dB Four level meters Track following Full automation possible Controls can be adjusted simultaneous for all bands Low CPU load Settings can be saved 64 bit integer math, except for the crossover filter code TPDF dither is used to convert the 64 bit signal back to SAW format. The dither is generated in assembly language
