REQ: Plugin-alliance Elysia Karacter (MAC OSX)
elysia enjoys a reputation among audio connoisseurs as a venerated boutique manufacturer of very high-end and innovative hardware. Now another of their greatest hits, the karacter Discrete Class A Stereo Saturator, has been precisely modeled by the wizards at Brainworx and made available as a plugin. Affectionately known as “The Coloring Box” by its fans because of the various ways in which it fattens and adds sparkle to tracks, karacter’s unique sounds separate it from the pack.
karacter is actually a bundle of two plugins: karacter mix and karacter master.
karacter mix provides a straightforward set of controls for treating mono and stereo tracks.
The more surgical karacter master plugin features independent controls for left and right channels or, in MS mode, mid and side channels and is optimized for processing full mixes and stereo stems and subgroups.
Both plugins give you three different saturation modes for painting your project’s tracks with colorful harmonics.
Saturation mode produces a gentle fattening and emphasizes odd harmonics — perfect for mastering, and for adding subtle size to pristine-sounding instruments such as acoustic guitar and grand piano
