An analog icon, redefined for today’s producer
The Avalon VT-747SP combines a tube/discrete modeled Class A opto-compressor with a musical six-band program equalizer, as well as output level and gain reduction metering. Ideal for signal conditioning, stereo buss compression and EQ, stereo keyboards and mastering applications.
Avalon VT-747SP Native was developed by Kazrog in conjunction with Avalon Design, and is meticulously modeled upon their hardware, carefully studying multiple units over the course of 2022 and 2023. We believe it is the most accurate digital representation of Avalon’s legendary analog hardware to date, and we are honored to have been selected to model this incredible piece of hardware.
Features
Full dynamic control from soft compression to hard-knee limiting can be achieved with master threshold, compression ratio, attack and release controls.
Gain reduction indication is a large analog-style VU meter.
Low and High Frequency (LF and HF) contour parametric spectral controls can be routed into the internal side-chain path for enhanced frequency dependent compression with variable frequency and threshold levels.
SC LISTEN switch provides side chain listen mode for easy monitoring, or creative EQ applications.
6 band graphic EQ models the smooth characteristics of an all passive design. The frequency turnover, Q and amplitude ranges have been carefully chosen for each band to provide the most natural harmonic balance with lowest phase change while offering simple and effective tone control.
Graphic EQ can be placed pre or post compressor for enhanced versatility.
TSP (Tube Signal Path) which gives you the choice of either tube tone (utilizing three virtual high-voltage dual triode tubes), or the classic, Class A discrete transistor sound (utilizing virtual discrete transistor amplifiers) in the primary opto buffers and output stages.
The MicroFreak from Arturia combines digital wavetable synthesis with an genuine analog filter in a super light-weight package. In place of normal keys it features a two-octave capacitive-touch keyboard with aftertouch. The synthesis engine is very simple and lacks an effects engine, but there are enough settings and routing options to make it a formidable and flexible synthesis machine.
As I often find, the factory presets leave a lot to be desired. The synthesizer is actually capable of so much more pleasing and interesting sounds. So here I present my custom presets for the Arturia MicroFreak…
Analog Meets Digital
I started by recreating the type of classic, retro ’70s and ’80s synth sounds I’ve done on my previous analog and virtual analog synthesizer banks. However, as I became more acquainted with the MicroFreak, I leaned more and more into the digital “waveforms” offered and discovered this is where a lot of the unique character on this synthesizer is to be found. The result is a healthy blend of analog-, digital-, and hybrid-style presets for your enjoyment and inspiration. Leads, pianos, polysynths, pads, strings, brass, bass, organs, arps, and more.
The tonal sculpter & cascading analog MOJO box with DYNA REALISM
Cascading MOJO
Apply a unique combination of in-the-box effects to shape your tracks, busses, and stereo mixdowns. Open up your mixes to a new level of character, normally only found in studios with massive analog recording consoles and mountains of outboard gear. Process your 2-bus, groups, or tracks through cascading combinations of three digital MOJO Amps, meticulously modeled from the circuits of the orginal SILVER BULLET mk2 hardware:
A: American console
N: British console
C: Custom MOJO / Colour Modules
Tone shaping
SILVER BULLET mk2’s 3-band Baxandall EQ has a Pultec-inspired low end and a smooth and expensive sounding top end that stands in a class with the most renowned mastering EQs, featuring the beloved AIR circuit from the original hardware with its own dedicated control.
The rough with the smooth
Tighten up the extreme bottom end with the TIGHT filter. The slightly resonant and tape-like 25 Hz setting excels on mixes, while the 50 Hz filter is optimized for tracking individual instruments. Smooth out digital top end with the silky VINTAGE mode inspired by legendary 1970’s British consoles.
Stereo image enhancement
ASPECT RATIO musically enhances the stereo width, height, and clarity of your mix. This isn’t one of those cheap sounding, phasey widening effects that leaves you wondering if you are messing up your soundstage or balance.
ASPECT RATIO delivers masterful results at the touch of a single button. No fussy tweaking or second guessing required. LTL took the time to perfect this circuit, so you can get on with perfecting your mix.
Five custom Colour modules
Just like the hardware, this plugin has an expansion slot for tonal exploration: Colour is a modular platform for creating custom analog signal chains. Choose from five different virtual Colour modules including the Hitmaker 4000 modules from the original hardware plus NEW MOJO Modules from LTL’s friends Unfiltered Audio – exclusive to the plugin version. Expect additional modules in the future.
Hitmaker 4000: 1980’s VCA console saturation–standard issue in the hardware
Bitmaker 1200: 12-bit, sample rate reduced version of Hitmaker 4000 with brick wall input filtering and aliasing artifacts inspired by a legendary late-80’s sampling drum machine
Vinyl Saturation: produces warm vinyl saturation based on the Unfiltered Audio plugin Needlepoint
Helical Scan: features VHS tape inspired warble algorithms based on the Unfiltered Audio plugin LO-FI-AF
VHS AF: a serial combination of the Vinyl Saturation and Helical Scan warble algorithms that increase saturation intensity as C-DRV is turned up and increase warble depth as C-MIX is turned up.
What is analog?
Louder Than Liftoff’s mission is to embody the true essence of analog. This means including all the variations, idiosyncrasies, imperfections, and even the occasional delightful surprise we adore in real hardware. LTL meticulously modeled every analog circuit down to the component level with their new patent-pending technology: Dyna Realism™.
DYNA REALISM™
To explore what it means to be analog, Louder Than Liftoff created Dyna Realism™, this remarkable patent-pending analog realism generator harnesses LTL’s innovative Virtual Parts Bin and Serial Number systems, meticulously constructing unique static and dynamic models of analog circuits across a broad spectrum of variation and realism.
That analog sound with DYNA REALISM™
Through a simple knob adjustment, each setting unveils more intense variations within and between channels. This new technology breathes life into static emulations, surpassing their inherent limitations to deliver hyper-real dynamic emulations where the circuits feel alive.
Custom serials that deliver analog uniqueness
When you instantiate SILVER BULLET mk2, you receive a unique “built-to-order” version of the digitally modeled analog circuit, associated to your license. The six-digit serial number on the rear panel is not just for graphical authenticity: it’s an integral part of the plugin’s Dyna Realism™ modes. Just like a real hardware unit, each license of the SILVER BULLET mk2 is given a unique serial number that is distinct in subtle, entirely analog ways. Enter any string of numbers to customize your build.
Push beyond the hardware with circuit bending
SILVER BULLET mk2 offers two distinctive circuit bending options: BEND 1 and BEND 2. Each option shorts out the power rails at different points of the signal chain, to create distorted and broken textures. The A, N, and C MOJO amp each exhibit unique behaviors based on the CIRCUIT BEND setting that you’ve selected. This Circuit bending feature is a fun way of coaxing unintended yet inspiring sounds out of your gear, virtually hacking the digital circuits without the risk of blowing up the hardware unit.
Features:
Component level DSP model of all Silver Bullet mk2 analog circuits
Cascading ‘A’ and ‘N’ MOJO Amps inspired by classic American and British consoles from the 70’s
MOJO C expansion slot with digital Colour modules including Hitmaker 4000 and exclusive modules from Unfiltered Audio

If you’re enjoying Phase Plant, the deep, powerful synth by Kilohearts, but are a little confused when it comes to creating your own sounds, you’re in the right place! In this Kiloheartz Phase Plant video course, synth guru Larry Holcombe will guide you through the creation of many varied tones on the Phase Plant from start to finish. Kicks, snares, basses, leads, pads, and more are covered, and Larry will show you step by step how to create each one, including additional effects processing as well. These Phase Plant videos are for users with basic Phase Plant familiarity.
First up is a kick drum sound, and Larry demonstrates how it’s done with a fast-decaying envelope on a sine wave to generate the fundamental sound. A snare drum sound that Larry creates by combining a quick noise click, a sine wave body, and a noise-based tail and treating each of them separately with effects chains follows.
Next, explore how hi-hat loops can be created with a custom LFO shape that’s cleverly applied to white noise and a convolution reverb. Then it’s on to the bass sounds, where Larry shows how to create a wavetable growl bass, a sine wave-derived neuro bass, and FM bass sounds.
Pads are up after that, and Larry builds a particularly nice one using two saw waves paired with a granular generator. Further, he demonstrates how, via the Unison and Chord functions, to sound a minor 7th chord with only one key press. The course finishes up with an exciting acid-style lead sound that makes use of modulated filtering and distortion and a demonstration of using Snap Heap to mix multiple effects chains in parallel.
Phase Plant’s depth and versatility mean it’s capable of a staggering amount of sounds, but it can also be a bit intimidating to the newer user. With the knowledge gained in this course, you’ll be comfortable enough on the instrument to start designing your own custom sounds right away.
