Description :
The S1 uses a VCA detection circuit on a selected frequency range to detect signal peaks and increase the stereo signal spread accordingly. The image will become wider during high-energy transients to prevent phase drop.
You can select and mix various imaging algorithms, from Haas delay or classic mid-side correction to emulation of SRS transfer functions.
Characteristics :
The input signal is first fed into a detection chain that responds to the average loudness of the song, where:
Threshold controls the detection of the minimum peak,
Speed controls the span of the moving average from the detection chain,
Lowpass allows the detection input signal to be filtered using a biquad lowpass filter.
This detection circuit is used to dynamically adjust the stereo imaging of the sound:
High Pass and Low Pass allow the stereo settings to be reduced to a single frequency band,
Peak Gain is the stereo gain that will be applied when the detection circuit reaches its maximum value,
Circuit allows the selection and combination of different imaging algorithms: binaural delay (Haas), head-related transfer functions (SRS) and mid-side gain (M/S).
The post-processing stage allows you to fine-tune the final render:
Makeup applies negative makeup gain to compensate for induced stereo dispersion by reducing its average value,
Comp reuses the input detection chain to apply VCA compression on the signal sides.
