[Musikmesse] Brainworx Vertigo VSM-3

The new Brainworx Vertigo VSM-3 is modeled on the VSM-2 Mix Satellite hardware. It is designed to add saturation and distortion no any audio track, bus and main outputs, with an option that allows for instantiating the plug-in on multiple busses and channels.

The plug-in also adds features that were not available on the original device, such as a wet/dry control for the THD Mixer, the ability to run the Crusher and Blender in parallel or in series, or solo them separately or together.

Features:

• Two independent virtual circuits for two kinds of analog-sounding coloration, ranging from subtle saturation to berserk distortion
• Pure 2nd Harmonic FET Crusher for warm, rich, saturation or distortion
• Pure 3rd Harmonic Zener Blender for bright, clear, exciter-like saturation or distortion
• Crusher and Blender can operate in parallel or serial configuration
• Stereo and M/S Decoding and Encoding for each circuit allows processing of entire stereo signal, or Mid or Side channels only
• Solo for auditioning Crusher and/or Blender in isolation
• AFL Solo for isolating Mid and Side outputs for control listening
• THD Mixer control for combining and balancing Crusher and Blender
• Stereo, mono and multi-channel (5.1 / 7.1) operation
• Saturation and distortion can be applied to specific signal frequency ranges
• Saturation and distortion can be applied with soft and hard clipping
• Input Filter allows you to choose to which frequencies you want to apply the harmonics. Six frequency ranges are available: 10 Hz to 120 Hz, 120 Hz to 1.5 Hz, 800 Hz to 4 kHz, 4 kHz to 20 kHz and Full which goes from 120 Hz to 20 kHz
• ‘Shape’ knob allows for gentle filtering of high-order harmonics

The Vertigo VSM-3 is a VST2/3, AU, AAX Native and DSP, AudioSuite and RTAS plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows. It is available for $299 and you can download a trial version from plugin-alliance.com.
