| Description: | cphn - opty Smooth optical-style leveling and tube-inspired color for Ableton Live. cphn - opty is a Max for Live Audio Effect built around the control feel of an optical leveling amplifier: simple peak reduction, smooth gain recovery, musical program-dependent release, and warm tone shaping. It is designed for sources that benefit from gentle leveling, weight, and polish rather than hard clamp-down compression. What it does: - Uses a gen~ optical/tube-style DSP core. - Models slow, musical opto-style gain recovery with program-dependent behavior. - Adds optional harmonic color and output drive. - Includes a custom cream-face gain-reduction meter. UI guide: - Peak Reduction: sets how hard the optical detector works. - Gain: makeup/output gain after compression. - Compress / Limit: chooses softer leveling or firmer peak control. - Mix: blends processed and dry paths for parallel leveling. - Color: controls tube/transformer-style density. - Stereo Link: blends dual-mono behavior into linked stereo control. - Sidechain HPF: reduces bass-triggered pumping. - Noise: optional subtle analog-style noise. - Power: transparent bypass. - Speed: trims the opto timing feel between slower, normal, and faster response. Suggested uses: - Vocals that need smooth leveling. - Bass that needs steady body. - Acoustic instruments and synth pads. - Parallel warmth and density. - Gentle bus smoothing before a faster compressor or limiter. |
