DRP2a mkII - Dynamic Range Processor

The DRP2a mkII Stereo Dynamic Range Processor is a plugin emulation of the hardware unit manufactured by Rocksonics Professional Audio in the mid 1990’s. The RP2a is a “Swiss Army Knife” of Dynamics processors capable of a multitude of functions all within one little plugin interface - compression, expansion, noise gating, limiting, clipping, e-essing, ducking, pumping and more.

The DRP2a uses multiple layers of program-dependent RMS level detectors for smooth, low distortion “musical” results while being very simple to set up and operate. A single Threshold control sets the point at which compression and gating occur making it extremely fast to set up on guitars, vocals, bass, etc. The DRP2a plugin offers the same time constants and controls as the original hardware unit including Ratio - which ranges from 10:1 compression to 1:1.9 expansion - Threshold, Makup Gain and Release speed. An Expander Gate control allows the selection of two different downward expansion ratios for the soft expander noise gate.
