Michael Kingston RetroBand v1.5.7 - (FREEWARE)
WIN SIZE: 1.23 MB | OSX SIZE: 1.15 MBRetroBand is a distortion unit at heart. It does warming, sharpening, roughing up, softening and smoothing - or all these combined. It may enrich sterile sound sources. Failing equipment can be easily simulated. With some luck it makes things sound larger than life. The transient enhanced distortion models with mid-side stereo controls can change or revive a stereo image.
FEATURES:
Digital model of interaction between gain stages and transformers
Three flexible distortion models with noise modulation
Transient shaping within the distortion models
Mid-side stereo image controls
Advanced noise modes to imprint effects of noise on signal without the hiss and rumble
64-bit signal path with highly optimised algorithms
