OTTX

Description

OTTX is a multiband dynamics processor that combines aggressive upward anddownward compression with per-band Inflator-style waveshaping. The signal issplit into three bands (Low, Mid, High) using phase-coherent 24 dB/octaveLinkwitz-Riley crossover filters, then each band receives independent upwardcompression to bring up quiet detail and downward compression to controlpeaks.The Depth control acts as a master intensity dial: at 0% the compressor isbypassed, higher values progressively increase both upward and downwardcompression intensity across all three bands. Separate Upward (0-200%) andDownward (0-200%) controls let you bias the compression character towardexpansion or limiting independently.Per-band Inflator waveshaping adds harmonic density and perceived loudnesswithout traditional clipping. The Curve controls (Low/Mid/High, 0-100%)apply a polynomial waveshaping algorithm that increases harmonic contentwhile preserving the signal envelope, delivering results from subtlewarmth at low settings to aggressive saturation when pushed hard.Each band has independent makeup gain (-40 to +6 dB), threshold offset(0-200%), and downward compression ratio (0-200%) for precise controlover the dynamics of each frequency range. The adjustable crossoverfrequencies (Low/Mid: 28-148 Hz, Mid/High: 2000-3000 Hz) let you targetexactly the right frequency regions for your material.The Mix knob (0-100%) enables parallel compression by blending processedand dry signal. Smart Clip 0dB provides soft-clipping followed byhard-limiting to prevent digital overs. Smooth mode switches to RMSdetection with a 6 dB soft knee for more transparent, mastering-gradecompression. The sidechain high-pass filter (0-200 Hz) prevents sub-basspumping without affecting the audio path.Per-band gain reduction meters (Low GR, Mid GR, High GR) show compressionactivity in real time: positive values indicate downward compression,negative values indicate upward compression.Signal flow: Input ?
