Learn the sound of your favorite mix and apply it to your own. This in short is what Assimilator is doing. Equalization is one of the more difficult tasks in recording, mixing and mastering - especially when trying to match a certain sound. With Assimilator this process will be fast and instantaneous, 3 steps and you're done! The UI provides two complete sets of curves and a morph page. On the morph page, you can morph between two complete curve sets by simply moving one fader.

The technology employed is based on Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT); 3 different resolutions allow you to adjust it to your needs - in the highest one the process is so heavy it requires a full DSP! This would easily max out a modern CPU, just for one instance.

Features
- Dramatically reshapes the character of any sound
- The latest scientific research in digital signal processing and psychoacoustics
- 3 different processing modes ensure adaptability to all types of audio material
- Target parameter sets the relative frequency range of the characterization
- 3 different meters: input level, output level, and amount of characterization
- Extremely easy to use

The Character algorithm is based on a new ideology and a fundamentally different approach to audio processing. Conventional tools simply modify the frequency intensity or dynamic structure of the source material, without analyzing its contents prior to processing. This makes the audio processing with such tools a job for specialists, requiring a lot of engineering expertise in order to get the desired result. The Character technology overcomes this significant limitation and brings a truly intuitive approach, which offers instant gratification.

The Character algorithm is based on Noveltech's Intelligent Adaptive Filtering (IAF) technology. The processing affects both the frequency response and dynamic properties of the input material in a highly time varying sense. When processing an audio source, the Character algorithm intelligently identifies and enhances the characteristics that are pleasing to the human auditory system. One example of such characteristics is the time related attack and decay properties of the signal transients. The processing is nonlinear and highly dependent on the source material's original content, aiming on enhancing the perceivably favored characteristics that derives from the original musical instrument or voice.

Basic audio processing tools such as EQs and compressors involve a large number of technical parameters, which have to be set to correct values in order to get the desired result. The Character intelligently enhances the relevant characteristics found in the source, working across a complex set of connected parameters, and not only boosting e.g. one specific frequency. This innovative approach allows users to get to the desired results much faster, as only three parameters need tweaking.

Dynamic EQ is a new tool for any mixing or mastering situation. This virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a dynamically applied equalization.

The Dynamic EQ plug-in offers up to four definable bands working either in static or dynamic mode, or in a mixture of both. Each of the bands can be configured as a parametric EQ or as a high or low shelving filter. The sidechain bands can be unlinked from the processing bands, so the high frequency content of a mix can control the low-end and vice versa. The pristine processing of this plugin is all in 48-bit double precision, and may even be used in a phase linear mode, that is generous with transparent results.

Dynamic EQ represents a new generation of mastering tools for the PowerCore platform and this virtual processor eliminates the shortcomings of static EQ by providing a marriage between dynamics processing and EQ.

Restoration Suite brings you all of the key-components required to restore vintage or otherwise damaged recordings, from broadband noise reduction to click or scratch removal. Restoration Suite offers four real time plug-ins: DeScratch, DeNoise, DeClick and DeCrackle.

DeScratch
DeScratch includes patent pending new technology from Noveltech that eliminates disturbing impulsive-type errors in audio material. This plugin can reconstruct long missing signal sections way better than any common interpolation algorithm.

The process is based on accurate mathematical modeling of the undamaged signal before and after the damaged signal portion, extrapolating the gaps in between. By the use of forward and backward extrapolation across the damaged area, the missing signal section is estimated with astonishing accuracy.

DeScratch is perfect for removing impulsive disturbances such as extreme clicks or drop outs in digital signals or scratched vinyl recordings. For the first time it is possible to eliminate extremely large scratches without audible artifacts. The DeScratch plug-in's 'high quality' mode has been improved significantly with new interpolation algorithms included in version 1.5.

DeNoise
DeNoise is optimized for broadband noise removal, from tape hiss to static environmental noise. The Denoiser is fingerprint-based and its edit tools allow manual adjustment of the analyzed fingerprints for even more precise processing results.

In version 1.5 the DeNoise plugin has been updated with an 'auto' mode that makes it possible to remove noise from material where it is not possible to take a fingerprint - for instance if there are no parts with noise only. Fingerprints can now be adjusted independently for left and right channels.

DeClick
DeClick, repairs crackle and clicks featuring a streamlined and fast user interface with only two key parameters. The Audition function and a display with statistical feedback on the declicking performance, simplifies the setup process. The DeClick plug detection algorithms has been enhanced significantly in version 1.5.

Decrackle
Like the other Restoration Suite plugin DeScratch, Noveltech in Finland developed the DeCrackle algorithm. It is specifically designed to remove artifacts ranging from 1 to 20 samples long. Crackles typically manifest themselves as constant surface noise, similar to what you would hear in the background of a record.

As with all plug-ins in the Restoration Suite, DeCrackle has an audition feature, which can be used to playback only the noise that has been removed from the signal.

Features
- Actual model of 1961 VOX(TM) AC30
- Includes Normal Channel
- Includes Treble Booster Model
- Provides 4 Drive models for different guitars

TC Thirty is a virtual model of a classic British Vox amplifier from 1961, providing the sound and behavior of the "normal channel" found on that amp.

A lot of users of the classic AC 30 amplifier have added a modification called a "treble booster" that was used to overdrive the tubes of the amp and create a singing, crunchy guitar sound. On the TC Thirty there is also a treble booster option, which was conceived with the classic sound of Queen's Brian May in mind. The resonance can be switched to different frequencies so that people who are using different guitars can still get close to "that sound" - and they can create their own unique sound as well.

The plugin features the TC PowerCore"No Latency" mode that allows for playing TC Thirty in a live recording or performance situation. TC Thirty also offers an oversampling option for even better processing quality than in standard mode. Up to four standard mode instances of TC Thirty can run on one PowerCore FireWire DSP.

TC-Helicon bring their acclaimed Voice Modeling technology to the PowerCore platform. This is great news for every musician and producer looking for that "signature" voice sound, without having a signature voice. TC-Helicon's Voice Modeling technology has impressed the world with its ability to change the characteristics of the human voice in a subtle, realistic or even radical way. Recording and producing voices has now become an even more creative art form.

VoiceModeler utilizes TC-Helicon's unique technology to change or improve the sound of a voice. The realtime process can turn a "thin" vocal into a "throaty" one - or even transform a "male" into a "female" sounding voice.

VoiceModeler allows one singer to have multiple "Voice Personalities". This way, a complete choir featuring different voices can be built from one "source sound". Applications range from the obvious "morph" of a voice to subtle sound enhancements like added "crispness" or more "breath". Taken to the extreme, VoiceModeler creates unheard of voices from monster to where no one has gone before. The "Growl" parameter adds additional control over the performance. All parameters are dynamically controlled by the incoming audio, creating a very natural sound.
