Description : Puncher is a multi-effect plugin that instantly adds power and punch to your tracks. The plugin has a compact design, containing 3 different effects: transient shaper, multiband compressor and parallel compressor. This allows you to combine the power of these 3 amazing instruments and create a new, unique and powerful sound. Puncher not only allows you to control the amount of effect applied, it also allows you to control the effect itself. Offering additional options for each effect you can fine-tune every aspect. Inside you will also find 48 presets made for various genres and instruments.
Puncher is designed to provide absolute tonal control of transients and, instead of having 3 separate blocks, Puncher offers 3 elements at once in one compact plugin.
Section “Transients” – allows you to form transients and strengthen your tracks. The basic mix control allows you to set the effect intensity, while the advanced settings give you control over the stereo link, bandwidth, and signal detection length curve.
The “Multiband” section – divides your track into 4 bands with subtractive IIR filters in real time. Each band has its own compressor, which applies a logarithmic attack and release directly to the desired gain reduction value, rather than to signal detection, smoothing the compression effect in an analog way.
Parallel section – allows you to use smooth parallel compression to align the dynamics on your track in a very natural way or, on the contrary, to create a powerful compression effect. You can also reduce the dynamic range to peak level without lowering the volume. The compressor has continuous RMS control and knee width control, which allows you to fine-tune the sensitivity of the compressor. By adding a parallel compressor to operate on a multi-band compressor, you increase the efficiency of the compression ratio and make processing more obvious and efficient.
In addition, the Puncher allows you to configure the frequency response of the transients, as well as the sustain signal. Innovations in technology bring new possibilities for adjusting the sound, as well as ease of use to achieve the same sought-after results that are achieved only with cumbersome, expensive and sophisticated equipment. Puncher is a compact plugin designed with a clear operating interface.
