The product recreated in this plug-in was among the first introduced by Eventide - and among the world's first commercially available professional recording products. For over 40 years, innovative products like these have made Eventide an industry leader, and we are extremely proud that they continue to be in demand today. We'll get into more depth on the product soon but, before you forget, please take a few minutes to register online. This helps us keep you informed of any important software updates, and any special offers that may only be available to registered users. 1 Omnipressor part 2 Production Dates: 1971 1984 Originally described as a "professional-quality dynamic modifier", the Omnipressor® rapidly became a very popular studio dynamics piece. Its unique Function knob allowed the engineer to move from Noise Gate effects through dynamic reversal - an effect that reverses a sound's envelope making loud sounds quiet, and quiet sounds louder. This control, combined with unique gain and attenuation controls, lets you produce extremely aggressive dynamics with very little tweaking. A cymbal, for example, can be made to sound "reversed" by setting a fast Attack and setting Function near its clockwise limit. The diagram below illustrates the wide ranging Function control. The controls are divided into three main sections: Main Panel, Expansion Panel and the Preset Bar. 2 2.1 Main Panel Input Threshold Line In/Out Attack Time Bass Cut/Norm Release Time Meter Function Sets the gain crossover point. For example, when the system is in Compression mode, an input signal below the threshold will have its amplitude increased and signals above the threshold will have their amplitude reduced. Bypasses the processing on the Omnipressor®. The meters will continue to operate as normal but the signal will not be altered. Determines the time in which the system responds to a change in input level. Assuming a 10 dB step increment in input level, the attack time is numerically equal to the time required for the level detector to reach its final state with respect to the new input level. Determines the frequency response of the level detector circuit. Set to NORMAL to match the frequency response to the gain control section. Set to BASS CUT to attenuate bass signals and reduce their effect on the overall compression/expansion operations. Determines the time in which the system responds to a decrease in input level. Assuming a 10 dB step increment in input level, the release time is numerically equal to the time required for the level detector to reach its final state with respect to the new input level. Allows you to select meter monitoring of Input, relative Gain or Output. These functions control only the meter display they have no effect on the signal processing. All level readings are in dBfs. 3 Function Output/Cal This is the main Omnipressor® control. When set fully counterclockwise, gain varies sharply from full attenuation to maximum gain as the input threshold is exceeded. As the control is rotated clockwise, this action becomes less sharp until the gain varies only a few dB from no input to full input. At the knob's centerpoint, the gain is constant, regardless of input level. As the knob is turned clockwise, gain begins decreasing with increasing input level. More rotation produces substantial compression until the point of infinite compression is reached and the gain decreases 1 dB for each dB of signal increase, thus keeping the output level constant regardless of input. Rotation past this point produces dynamic reversal, in which a high level input produces a lower output than does a low level input. Full clockwise rotation results in full output attenuation above the Input Threshold. Two LEDs alert you to the gain state of the Omnipressor®. A green Atten Led illuminates to indicate that the Omnipressor is in gain reduction mode. A red Gain Led illuminates in gain increase mode. Relative brightness of the LEDs indicates the amount of gain reduction or increase. Operation of these LEDs is instantaneous, so that peak limiting is indicated even when the meter has insufficient time to respond. These switches allow you to increase the output level of the Omnipressor® without affecting compression ratios or other operating parameters. This is useful, for example, when the unit is being used in extreme modes of compression or dynamic reversal, and the input signal is large enough to cause large amounts of consistent gain reduction. In such cases, you can select to increase the gain of the output stage by selecting +10dB, +20 dB, or both for 30 dB of gain. This control does not alter the gain of the dry signal.1 1Older versions of the plugin featured Input Calibration switches as well. These switches allowed the user to attenuate the input signal by 0, -10, -20, or -30 dB. The functionality of these switches has been superseded by the Input Gain control, which allows a continuous range of values from -48 dB to +12 dB, but the old controls will continue to function as before to ensure backwards compatibility. They remain accessible via automation or generic plug-in views. 4 Atten Limit Gain Limit Limits the maximum attenuation of the Omnipressor® from 30 dB to approximately 1 dB. This control overrides the action of Function. Limits the maximum gain of the Omnipressor® from 30 dB to approximately 1 dB. This control overrides the action of Function. 5 2.2 Expansion Panel Input Gain Sidechain Input Mix Output Gain Adjusts the gain of the incoming signal to the Omnipressor®. This control does not alter the gain of the dry signal. Allows the Omnipressor®'s level detect to be driven by another audio source. Adjusts the dry-wet mix. At 100%, the output will only be the processed signal. Use values of less than 100% for parallel compression. Adjusts the output gain of the processed signal. Like Input Gain, this control does not alter the gain of the dry signal. 6 2.3 Preset Bar Located at the top of the Omnipressor® Plug-In, the Preset Bar lets you load and save presets, along with several other features. When Omnipressor® is installed, a library of settings is placed into the <user>/Music/Eventide/Omnipressor/Presets folder (Mac) or the <user>/Documents/Eventide/Omnipressor/Presets folder (Windows). These presets have a .tide extension and can be saved or loaded from the Omnipressor® preset bar in any supported DAW. In many DAWs there is an additional generic preset bar that saves DAW-specific presets to a separate location. We recommend saving your presets using the Eventide preset bar to ensure that your presets will be accessible from any DAW. You can also create sub-folders inside the preset folders, if you wish. Load and Save The Load button allows you to load a .tide preset that is stored anywhere on your computer. Save allows you to save a new preset to anywhere on your computer, but it is recommended that you place it somewhere in the <user>/Documents/Eventide/Omnipressor/Presets folder, so that it is accessible from the Preset Dropdown. Note that you can create subfolders for your presets, for easier navigation and organization. Compare The Compare button allows you to toggle between the current settings and the last saved or loaded preset. This allows you to save or load settings that you like, tweak as you please, and return to the original settings for comparison. Mix Lock Enables a global mix value that will be the same on every preset that is loaded. This is especially useful on an effect return track where the mix should always be set to 100. Info Opens this User Guide, for quick access from the plug-in. 7 Settings Opens a drop-down menu with various user interface settings. · Scaling Sets the overall size of the plugin. · Always Show Values Sets knob values to be displayed at all times. This setting will apply to all instances of the plugin. 8 Conclusion part 3 We hope you enjoy the Omnipressor® plug-in and put it to good use in all of your mixes.
