PLUGIN Syrah

The Secret Brew For Masterful Compression!

Syrah, based on the legendary algorithms behind the Alchemist and Solera processors, has since it was released been kind of a secret brew for many engineers. Syrah is designed to react in real-time to the nature of the input signal, making it an extremely versatile compressor with the ability to adapt to anything from individual sources to a complete mix. With its refined user interface, it’s a really simple and efficient processor for quickly dialing in compression with outstanding results.

Syrah

Creative versatile with adaptive dynamics, adapting to the music and the beat of the audio material, truly musical and well suited for recording, mixing, and mastering.

Adaptive Processing Control

The adaptive processing algorithm in Syrah can be defined by a Mode setting parameter, which his is one of the most significant controls on Syrah defining how the algorithm automatically tries to adapt the processing to the audio material.

Modes

• Dynamic Soft
• Dynamic Deep
• Static

By selecting one of the two provided dynamic modes, a range of parameters becomes dynamic and will vary in sync according to the audio analysis, aiming at a result that is closer to the original material.

M/S Stereo Operation

Syrah provides an option for individual processing of the M/S components, a well-known technique often used in mastering to process the stereo image or the center impact, and since Syrah adapts the processing to the audio material, the result will generally match the stereo material more accurately, resulting in a larger variety of possible sound modifications, such as; dynamically increasing the space (room) impression, boost the main center components and similar tasks.

LCD Waveform Display

The LCD display shows the actual waveform and offers a variety of settings to customize the display content.

• LCD On/Off
• Scroll Waveform Speed
• Scroll Waveform Freeze
• Display Input Waveform
• Display Output Waveform
• Display Gain Envelope

Dual Preset Slots and Parameter Morphing

The built in preset manager and the preset morphing slider, provides instant and intuitive control of all parameters and controls. In a second, with a simple one-click operation, everything is copied from one of the two preset slots to the other, even during playback.

Details

The two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time, and except for only A/B comparing two sets of parameters, the morphing slider will allow to mix them, and to record the morph with the host automation.
