Product Detail
The organic sound of a tube amplifier pushed into breakup is the gold - standard for overdriven and distorted tones. Analog tube circuitry creates gentle natural compression and a rich blend of even and odd harmonics, making the signal more powerful, punchy, and alive. Unlike solid - state and fuzz circuits, Redoptor responds smoothly to audio volume changes, just like a real tube amp. Louder sounds get more crunch and harmonics, while softer sounds clean up gradually, creating a great - sounding distortion. Redoptor emulates hot vacuum tubes accurately and has features to mimic a complex analog circuit. Its adjustable tube bias parameter amplifies even harmonics subtly. It offers full control of the preamp's frequency range, allowing for diverse sound shaping from lo - fi to full - spectrum. The parametric EQ has independent gain and frequency control for 4 bands. It processes stereo channels independently, enhancing synth sounds' definition and stereo imaging. A built - in pre - gain compressor and master output limiter help sculpt the perfect saturated sound. Redoptor emulates classic tube guitar amplifier circuits, appealing to guitarists, producers, and electronic musicians. Use it to enhance guitar parts, drum loops, synths, bass lines, and any sterile audio. Features include exact tube and circuit emulation, preliminary filters, a preamp with a compressor, an output limiter, a fully - equipped parametric equalizer, 64 - bit internal processing, a tag - based preset browser, two GUI sizes, and MIDI - learn functionality.
Using the D16 Redoptor 2 is a breeze. First, load the plugin into your digital audio workstation. You can start by adjusting the preamp's frequency range. Set the cut - off points for high and low tones before the signal gets amplified and distorted to get the sound you want. The parametric EQ gives you more control over the sound. Adjust the gain and frequency of each of the 4 bands to fine - tune your audio. For stereo signals, take advantage of the independent channel processing. You can add different harmonics and distortion to each side of the stereo signal, which is great for synths. The built - in pre - gain compressor adds punch to your signal. Adjust it to control the dynamic range before the signal hits the distortion stage. The master output limiter helps in taming unruly peaks and making your output signal smooth. When using presets, use the tag - based preset browser to quickly find the one you need. As for MIDI - learn functionality, you can assign MIDI controllers to different parameters for hands - on control. Now, for the maintenance part. Keep your plugin updated by checking the D16 website regularly. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements for the plugin to run smoothly. Also, don't overload your system with too many plugins running at once, as it might affect the performance of Redoptor 2. And remember, always save your projects frequently to avoid losing any work.
