de la Mancha has released Strip T’s – a new channel strip effect plugin
de la Mancha has released Strip T’s, a channel strip effect plugin designed to be as straight-forward to use as possible but with a wide range of sonic sculpting possibilities.
It has a gate, low-cut filter, 3 band EQ, soft-knee compressor and soft/hard clipper, plus metering and a full stereo audio path.
Strip T’s brings together the knowledge and experience from developing individual effect plugins like the QB-3 EQ, sixtyfive compressor and ClipStar soft clipper. By combining the core parts of these effects, a significant amount of CPU is saved compared to running these plugins individually.
Each stage can be turned off when not needed to save further CPU, and a mono version is also available which is even more efficient.
Strip T’s features
- Stereo Channel Strip with gate, filter, EQ, compressor and clipper stages.
- Full stereo signal path (mono version also included).
- Noise gate with attack & release plus indicator to show when in operation.
- Low-cut filter to take out inaudible sub bass and free up headroom.
- 3 band EQ, with selectable frequency ranges and EQ shapes.
- Soft-knee, RMS Compressor with parallel compression and external sidechain.
- Clipper offering soft and hard clipping.
- dB meters showing current and peak levels for input and output.
- Developed with SE 1.1, so no problems with multiple instances.
- Stereo, Mono and non-sidechain versions included.
Strip T’s is available to purchase as a VST effect plugin for Windows for $29 USD.

New universal echo delay unit with hold function
WOK has released Echo Freeze Unit EFU-1, a universal echo delay unit with hold function for Windows.
“EFU-1 is more than another delay plugin. Besides all the basic functions (host sync or milliseconds, digital/tape/analog sound, modulation) it features a distinctive freeze function; like some famous hardware delay units, the delay buffer can act like a sampler. Up to 4/1 bars of input signal can be recorded (or lets better say: frozen) and continously played back at a selectable speed – even reverse.
But EFU-1 is more flexible than hardware devices: while a frozen audio segment is played back, the delay unit remains useable – even at a different delay time / sync divider! Also to hold and freeze a signal it is possible to first choose ‘record’ and then send audio to the plugin, or you continously play thru the delay and if the ‘last loop’ was interesting, you hit ‘Record’ to freeze it!
And while the recorded phrase is played back – even reverse, you may continue to play along with it thru the delay at a different time setting. By the way: feedback can be cranked up until nearly endless, and in millisecond mode, the delay time can be changed smoothly from many seconds to very short – producing these famous dub sounds!”
Price: 29 EUR
Turnado – new multi-effect for both Windows and Mac OS
Sugar Bytes announces Turnado, a new multi-effect for both Windows and Mac OS.
“Turnado is your new multi-effect tool crafted especially for massive and real-time audio manipulation, providing countless truly unique effects, creating sounds unheard of every time you turn it on. Turnado is both: hands-on stage performance boost and serious tool for studio perfectionism, giving you direct control of up to 8 different effects at any given time, with a total of 24 effects available.
The idea is simple:
Turn a knob and the effect is on.
Turn the knob further and effect parameters start to move and modulations start to apply.
Turn the knob down and the effect is off.This one-knob-action fits perfectly for all kinds of studio or stage situation where you bang your midi controller creating wicked breaks to let the crowd dance even harder.”
Turnado comes for Mac/PC as Standalone application and VST/AU plugin and will be released in early summer 2011.
