Description :
The ultimate modern mastering compressor, reimagined and expanded for a new era
Much more than just a cosmetic overhaul,
the elysia alpha compressor V2 is a detailed emulation of one of the most revered analog mastering compressors
ever created. Featuring the latest in physical modeling technology, a new model
of Brainworx’s built-in Lehle converter for unmistakable analog warmth, and a customizable user interface
optimized for modern screen resolutions, the V2 represents the pinnacle of the alpha compressor concept.
The original alpha compressor is legendary for a reason.
It delivers clean, controlled, high-quality compression even at extreme settings,
offering flexibility and precision while maintaining pristine sound. This is the type of compressor that improves the quality of everything
you put through it, delivering everything from subtle gluing to surgical processing and correction,
all while preserving the original musicality of your mix or master.
Established partnership once again sets the benchmark
Developed by Brainworx in close collaboration with elysia, V2 builds on the hardware and acclaimed
V1 plug-in and includes a host of new features that intelligently expand the control and sound capabilities of the original
alpha compressor. The result is an incredibly sophisticated tool that meets the demands of modern
workflows with efficiency, precision and uncompromising sound quality.
Alpha Sound V2 Controls
The updated, resizable user interface now includes a
Brainworx top toolbar and an expandable plugin-only section with options to further dial in the exact sound you’re looking for.
You’ll find Brainworx’s proprietary TMT channel modeling technology, controls for pitch adjustment,
stereo field adjustment, and sidechain connectivity, plus the ability to use external key input if desired.
Built with hardware:
• A precise emulation of the original alpha compressor in collaboration with elysia, providing the most sophisticated
and complete set of dynamics controls available as a plug-in.
• Preserves the sonic integrity of the source material, even at extreme settings.
• Built-in M/S matrix: As an alternative to a standard stereo system, you can process the mid
and side signals independently, opening up additional possibilities for improving the accuracy of your stereo field.
• Forward and reverse feed: Compression types can be selected individually for each channel,
allowing different response characteristics to be achieved at the touch of a button.
• Automatic response: Switchable semi-automatics always provide the ideal impact
and attenuation based on adjustable values - even when working with difficult material.
• Niveau EQ provides additional control for detailed tone shaping,
greater clarity and expression with zero harshness.
• Sidechain Filter: Built-in frequency-selective compression eliminates the need for complex settings
and promotes efficient workflow.
• Parallel Compression: Both direct and compressed signals can be mixed as desired.
Version 2 enhancements available for plug-ins only:
• Completely redesigned user interface with high CPU performance
and resizable for high-resolution displays
• Brainworx TMT (Tolerance Modeling Technology) for ultra-realistic analog behavior and channel dispersion
• TX-Drive transformer modeling for harmonic saturation
• Stereo and mono audio creation for expanded spatial control
• Pitch control to suit modern mastering workflows
• Improved metering and gain control with automatic output gain
• Ambience, external sidechain input (key), and sidechain listen
