Find out more about each one below:
SSL Native X-EQ 2
The X-EQ 2 is a highly configurable 24-band EQ plugin built upon SSL’s proprietary anti-cramping algorithms. This EQ toolkit offers 17 different EQ types and filter shapes, and each band is switchable between bell, shelf, low pass or high pass filter types, with both classic and customisable shapes available for each band. It also offers spatial processing options, band soloing, and the classic X-EQ ‘Parallel’ mode for recreating the characteristic sound of old parallel passive EQ circuits.
X-ValveComp
This plugin is a fully-featured mono or stereo channel compressor with a full set of classic channel compressor controls and an added ‘valve’ emulation stage. The valve emulation stage sits after the compressor in the signal path and adds a variable degree of primarily 2nd order harmonic saturation and distortion that “thickens and colours the sound”, according to Plugin Boutique. The compressor can be switched between Peak or RMS modes and has a full set of controls including; Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack, Release and Hold.
X-Gate
This visual gating plugin is inspired by the workflow from SSL’s digital broadcast consoles, and features a rolling waveform graph, mid/side processing options, plus tweakable hysteresis using independent open and closed thresholds. For extended sound sculpting there’s an intuitive sidechain filter interface and mid/side balance options to focus the gate on unwanted sounds and leave the processed signal as natural or affected as you’d like.
Native FlexVerb
FlexVerb is a reverb plugin designed to deliver a “professional mix-ready sound”. It has a split early-late reflection interface, allowing users to experiment with the sounds of different early room reflections, and a variety of expansive reverb tail options. It features a six-band EQ, High and Low Pass Filters, three-band reverb time multipliers and an input sidechain compressor.
