MAGIX presents three VST effect plug-in collections
for Windows: AM | Suite (Analogue Modelling Suite),
VE | Suite (Vintage Effects Suite) and VariVerb Pro
(VARIable reVERB). The release of these plug-ins
enable you to use the effect plug-ins already
integrated into MAGIX' flagship products Sequoia and
Samplitude in any other VST-enabled audio products
for the first time.

AM | Suite - Analogue Modelling Suite

The Analogue Modelling Suite features three audio
tools based on replicas of classic circuit designs:
am-track analogue compressor, am-pulse transient
designer and am-phibia pre-amp / channel strip:

am-track is a combination of an analogue compressor
and a tape simulator in one single device. It is
primarily used for so-called "tracking", i.e. editing
individual channel strips or subgroup signals.
Compression can be executed either as modern or
"vintage". With emulation of the tape machine sound,
typical aspects of the large, saturated sound
characteristics of the magnetic recording for the
hard disk studio can be made reality at low costs and
high quality.

am-pulse is a "transient modeler", a creative tool
for editing envelope and sustain processes on
percussive or dynamic signals. Furthermore, the
signal can be subtly "analogued" or considerably
distorted by modulating the subsequent tube
saturation and treble exciter sections.

am-phibia is a tube amplifier/channel strip. It
combines an optical compressor with a pre and post
filter unit. As a result of the various different
filter circuits, the device can be varied to a large
extent and used as a vocal pre-amp, tube guitar
amplifier or to create "warmer" sound characteristics
according to the input signal and audio style.

The plug-ins in the Analogue Modelling Suite
recognize the number of incoming signals and can
function automatically in mono to reduce processor
strain by preventing the sending of another signal
for calculation.

VE | Suite - Vintage Effects Suite

The Vintage Effects Suite includes three plug-ins,
CORVEX, ECOX and FILTOX, a chorus/flanger, delay and
filter plug-in.

CORVEX, ECOX and FILTOX are each based on the same
basic handling principle: as required, a modulator
(LFO) controls almost all knobs accessible via the
"frontplate". This principle enables an almost
inexhaustible supply of forms for sound design from
subtle to crazy distortion effects. For example, on
normal guitar choruses: with CORVEX you can have the
sound travel through the room by changing a few
modulation settings, with ECOX you can reinvigorate
old tape echoes, and with FILTOX you can add more
power to weaker drum loops.

VariVerb Pro

VariVerb Pro (short for: VARIable reVERB) is a high
-quality reverb plug-in that runs on an algorithmic
basis. It provides a series of rooms, halls, reverb
plates, spring reverbs and so-called non-linear
effects, which can be edited comprehensively and
easily.

"Algorithmic" refers to the reverb impression not
being created using impulse responses, as is often
the case nowadays. Instead the calculation is based
on mathematic models, like with classic reverb
devices. With VariVerb these algorithms can be chosen
via a "model" list, each specialized on a specific
replica or a specific purpose and given its own set
of parameters. On the other hand, technology based on
convolution is only able to interpret a static copy
of a process, it doesn't know the room.

The algorithms:

Room A: Small to medium-sized room, dampening of the
low frequencies, immediate response, high
density/diffusion.

Room B: Room similar to A, less dampening, slightly
different reflection pattern, responding a bit
slower.

Hall A: Larger hall, slower reverb buildup, less
density than the "rooms".

Hall B: Similar to hall A but later response of the
reflection, slightly "colder" sound.

Retro Room: Classic room effect in the style of well
-known hardware reverb devices from the 80s/90s. More
artificial algorithms than the previous methods. The
vintage/retro character takes center stage here,
definitely an "effect" sound.

Retro Hall: Type of creation like retro room, but
this is a classic hall effect with the corresponding
reflection pattern. Thick, cloud-like reverberation
tail.

Plate A: Classic reverb plate, high diffusion, quite
"dark" and "heavy", slight panorama effects.

Plate B: Reverb plate similar to A but with lighter
character, faster response.

NonLin Gate: Non-linear reverb, no sustain but abrupt
end instead (classic "gated" reverb effect).

NonLin Reverse: Reverb with reversed amplitude, sound
impression played such as "backwards".

Spring A: Model of a reverb spiral with two linked
spring systems, typical echo effects and excitation
noise.

Spring B: Similar to spring A; however, the vibration
is "softer".

HQ Room A/B & Hall A/B: Extremely high quality and
very complex simulation, which, however, is
associated with high processor strain. Nevertheless,
or maybe because of it, it's the definitive "main
reverb" algorithm. Very plastic, tangible room
impression with free positioning of the sound source
and the listening location. Here, the A and B models
differ slightly from one another like in the regular
room and hall algorithms, that is, HQ room A provides
somewhat different dimensions and different
composition than B. With the HQ halls, hall B
communicates with A later and sounds slightly more
complex.
