Sonoris Releases Three New VST Plug-Ins For Mac & PC

Sonoris has released three new VST plug-ins for Mac and PC, Linear Phase Equalizer, Dither and Equalizer.

The Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer is a parametric linear phase equalizer in VST format for Windows and Mac OSX. The plugin is suitable for mixing and especially mastering and features 7 bands, including lowpass, highpass, peaking and shelving filters.

The Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer can be used to enhance or correct difficult material like vocal or instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes, without introducing any unwanted coloring. The linear phase implementation ensures a transparent character and just boosts or cuts a frequency range without adding a “sound”. It doesn’t smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. This way it is possible to boost or cut more than with a conventional equalizer without any of these negative side effects.

Every band can be set up to process stereo, L , R or (M)id and (S)ide channels. Processing the mid or side information can be very useful in certain situations. In mastering for example, it allows you to enhance a centered vocal while leaving the other instruments untouched. Or to center a bass without losing the stereo imaging of the rest. Adjustment of is made easy because the Sonoris Linear Phase Equalizer allows for monitoring the LR or MS channels.

Features:
» 7 band parametric linear phase equalizer
» backwards/forwards type algorithm
» 4 quality settings
» Lowpass and highpass filters up to 48 dB/octave
» Peaking and shelving filters
» Stereo, L, R or MS processing and monitoring
» No pre-warping effects, that is, correct response up to Nyquist
» HQ mode with upsampling for an even more accurate response
» Soft Engage technology on all filters to prevent pops and crackles when switching
» Mousewheel support
» A/B comparison
» Large graphical display with dragable handles for maximum control
» Three zoom levels
» High resolution level meter
» Track following
» Full automation possible
» Settings can be saved
» 64 bit integer math in audiochain, except for the filter code
» TPDF dither is used to convert the 64 bit signal back to the host resolution

The Sonoris Dither is a professional, high quality audio plugin for mastering purposes. With this plugin you can quantize audio to a lower bitdepth with dither and/or noiseshaping. The dither type is selectable between TPDF and High Pass (HP) TPDF. TPDF is short for Triangular Probability Densitity Function, a form of dither that eliminates non-linear distortion during re-quantization and has no signal modulation artifacts. The noiseshaping can be set to three flavors: Curve A, B and C or “Off”. It is also possible to set noiseshaping without dither. The output bitdepth can be set to 16 and 20 bit or “Off” for no quantization.

Features:
» supports 2 dither types:
— TPDF (Triangular Probability Densitity Function)
— HighPass TPDF
» 3 noiseshaping curves:
— curve A: 5th order
— curve B,C: 9th order
» dither and noiseshaping independent adjustable
» dither is generated in assembly language
» quantization to 20 or 16 bit
» full automation possible
» low CPU load
» settings can be saved
» 64 bit integer math throughout the signal path, except for the noiseshaping filters

The Sonoris Equalizer is a parametric equalizer in VST format for Windows and Mac OSX. The plugin is suitable for mastering and mixing and features 7 bands, including lowpass, highpass, peaking and shelving filters. The plugin has a large graphical display that shows exactly what you get. The Sonoris Equalizer has an automatic upsampling mode. In this mode, the Equalizer has an even more acurate response, especially at the higher frequencies.

Every band can be set up to process stereo, L , R or (M)id and (S)ide channels. Processing the mid or side information can be very useful in certain situations. In mastering for example, it allows you to enhance a centered vocal while leaving the other instruments untouched. Or to center a bass without losing the stereo imaging of the rest.
