Eventide Omnipressor Dynamics Effects Processor Plug-In [Virtual]

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Eventide Omnipressor was the first dynamics effects processor of any kind.

Invented by Eventide's founder, Richard Factor, the Omnipressor made a host of effects possible.

It featured variable control of all aspects of dynamic modification.

It also introduced the notion of the 'side chain' and foretold techniques that today we take for granted like 'look ahead' processing.Factor's original design, the 'white-face' Omnipressor featured controls that made the unit virtually impossible to use.

In fact, here is the opening paragraph of the original user's manual: ...if you don't fondle its controls properly it will cause you hours of confusion and tempt you to dash it against the rocks or put it in a sack and drown it.Engineer Jon Paul was brought on board to tame the beast and the 'black-face' Omnipressor was born.

It has been used on hundreds of hit records throughout the last four decades and many of the original units are still in service and cherished.The Omnipressor plug-in is a faithful emulation of the 'black-face' unit and is popular among some of the world's leading producers and engineers as a dynamics-modifier with variable expressive controls of all aspects of a signal's dynamics.

The Function control allows you to set compression and expansion ratios over a wide, continuous range from extreme expansion to infinite compression and beyond - dynamic reversal which reverses a sound
