Presswerk

Presswerk is designed to be a powerful dynamics processor rich with musical soul. An easy-to-use interface and a rich feature set give you hands on control to all the details of your sound. Presswerk is more than a copycat of other hardware compressors, it blends the warmth of classic hardware models with many modern touches.

Full feature list:
- 3 different detection topologies: feed-forward, feed-back and interactive
- Dual channel (stereo) or two independent channels - control values can be set for both channels or each channel independently
- M/S (Mid-Side) mode - for more detailed stereo processing and delicate mastering tasks
- DPR (Dual Phase Rotation) mode - creates an emulation of classic outboard gear phase response by rotating lower and mid frequencies at input and output stages
- Adjustable Soft Knee
- Compression Ratio - from 1:1 to 20:1
- Adjustable Non Linear control - simulates the behaviour of specific compressors or gain-reduction circuits
- Auto Makeup
- Full envelope control - adjustment the attack, release, RMS window
- Sidechain ready with 6 / 12 dB high pass & low pass filters
- Pre or post compression stage saturation with variable “warmth” (tilt filter style) and “dynamics” to model the distortion behaviour of the FET-based voltage dividers from classic devices
- Internal parallel compression
- Dry / Wet mix controls with high pass filter and expand options
- Soft Clip
- Analogue style VU meters display gain reduction
- Presets for common compression tasks (eg. mixdown, ducking, vocals)
- User interface zooms in 10% steps
- optional visual “overlays” for dual channel mode
