| Description: | cphn - opty Smooth optical-style leveling with warm tube-inspired color for Ableton Live. cphn - opty is made for sounds that should feel expensive, steady, and effortless. It follows the musical behavior of optical leveling: simple peak reduction, slow program-dependent recovery, soft gain control, and harmonic density that helps a source sit in the mix without sounding pinned down. What it does: - Uses a dedicated gen~ optical/tube-style DSP core. - Models smooth opto-style gain recovery with program-dependent release behavior. - Adds optional harmonic color, output drive, and subtle analog-style noise. - Includes a custom cream-face gain-reduction meter. UI guide: - Peak Reduction: sets how hard the optical detector works. - Gain: makeup/output gain after compression. - Compress / Limit: chooses softer leveling or firmer peak control. - Mix: blends processed and dry paths for parallel leveling. - Color: controls tube/transformer-style density. - Stereo Link: blends dual-mono behavior into linked stereo control. - Sidechain HPF: reduces bass-triggered pumping. - Noise: optional subtle analog-style noise. - Power: transparent bypass. - Speed: trims the opto timing feel between slower, normal, and faster response. Suggested uses: - Vocals that need smooth level control and polish. - Bass that needs steady body without hard pumping. - Acoustic instruments, pads, and synths that need warmth. - Parallel warmth and density. - Gentle bus smoothing before a faster compressor or limiter. |
