Look what i found PA

Yep this was announced previously as one of the releases for the year, but this is the first time I've seen what is likely the entire UI.

I have to say it looks nice but disappointed it doesn't seem to have any listen to the source and make auto adjustments under the hood as a starting point options.  This is a standout feature of the competition.  

I like Master Desk and MDTruePeak, hopefully another $20 upgrade for those that own the previous TruePeak version.

Now that looks good. Ya gotta wonder what the "Aging" knob is all about!!

And that R37 screw... secret mojo!!?

"Aging

The quest for referencing “The One” hardware unit

is pretty much in vain, simply as it does not exist after

all these decades. The electroluminescent panel

and the photocells inside the T4B circuit as well as

further electronic components are subject to aging

effects which significantly alter the compression

characteristic of each individual device.

The Aging knob makes use of this phenomenon by

granting control over the physical material constants

of the EL panel and the LDR components inside

the T4B cell. Basically, this lets you blend from

a stock unit with a brand new opto cell to a very

old device after decades of operation. This complex,

non-linear behavior modification impacts sound as

well as compression characteristics."

This obviously rolls off highs.  

If the peak control is set to 0, the plug in can be used as a saturation plug in with no compression.  

"R37

Basically a relic from its roots in broadcast, the R37

trimmer controls the response of an emphasis filter

inside the sidechain circuit. Turning the screw

counter-clockwise attenuates the lower frequencies

in the sidechain signal which results in a higher

sensitivity of the compressor to HF content. Like

on the original, flat is fully clockwise."

 

I’m not seeing a TMT addition, but while I almost always set that to both channel 1, I do use the other stuff like the mono maker and headroom features a lot, but like I said, they are omitted from this current version of the plug in.  

It’s a pretty rad take on the LA2A that I wouldn’t waste my time with if it weren’t for the additional features.  I’m not seeing an oversampling option.

I saw the short lines and initially thought it was/tried to read it as a poem. Only half way down did I realise that it's just columnized text 😂
