MORiA | AU | VST | VST3 | 222.9 MB
Much more than a facelift
The elysia alpha compressor V2 is a detailed emulation of one of the most revered analog mastering compressors ever made. Utilizing the very latest in physical modeling technology with Brainworx’s exacting new model of the built-in Lehle transformer for adding pristine analog warmth, and a customizable UI optimised for today's screen resolutions, V2 represents the apotheosis of the alpha compressor concept.

The original alpha compressor is legendary for a reason
It delivers clean, controlled, high-end compression even at extreme settings, providing both flexibility and accuracy while preserving immaculate sound. It’s the kind of compressor that enhances whatever you put through it, providing everything from subtle glue to surgical refinements and correction, all while retaining the original musicality of your mix or master.

An established partnership once again sets a reference standard
Developed by Brainworx in close collaboration with elysia, V2 builds on the hardware and the celebrated V1 plugin to incorporate a raft of new features that intelligently expands on the original alpha compressor’s controls and sonic capabilities. The result is an incredibly refined tool for meeting the demands of modern workflows with efficiency, precision, and uncompromisingly pristine audio quality.

Alpha sound. V2 control
The overhauled and resizable UI now incorporates the Brainworx top tool bar and an expandable plugin-only section with options for further dialling in exactly the sound you’re looking for. You’ll find Brainworx’s patented TMT channel-modeling, controls for setting up the headroom, adjusting the stereo field and sidechain linking, as well as the option to use an external key input if desired.
