REQ: Hack Audio Analog Circuit Factory
Mix and match over 100+ module effects based on component-level analog modeling. Easily build your dream signal chain, all from within your DAW. The Analog Circuit Factory is a cross-platform audio plug-in for MAC and Windows. It comes in AU, VST3, and AAX formats for your Digital Audio Workstation of choice.
This plug-in offers an enormous collection of digital models based on highly acclaimed analog hardware. Each circuit is packaged as a virtual 500-series rack module. Over 100 modules are included ranging from analog mixing console EQ emulations to boutique guitar pedals and even classic tube guitar amplifiers.
This plug-in uses state-of-the-art modeling techniques developed at Hack Audio for true, component-level recreations of circuits. Absolutely no short-cuts, gimmicks, or cheap approximations were used in the modeling, bringing you all of the nuances that make analog gear so desirable.
The Analog Circuit Factory is super simple and intuitive to use straight away. It is designed to give you great sounds as quickly as possible. If you want to go deep and tweak the sounds even more, there are endless combinations of tones you can make by rearranging modules and dialing in all of the parameters.
If you are interested in learning more about the circuits included in the factory library for the plug-in, you can download an entire set of PDF schematics to reference. We went to great lengths to select a wide variety of circuit topologies to be included.
One of the most power and unique features of the Analog Circuit Factory is the ability for a user to customize and design their own circuits for use in the plug-in. This is because the software is built on top of the “Point To Point Library” that performs the modeling of arbitrary circuits. Therefore, it is possible to edit any of the 100+ circuits included in the factory library to create your own tones and effects. Additionally, you can add your own circuits from scratch by using a simple XML text format. These files are easily loaded into the Analog Circuit Factory for real-time processing in your digital audio workstation (DAW).
