Tone Projects announces Kelvin Tone Shaper

Hi everyone,

I'm very happy to announce that the new Tone Projects plug-in is now available. Based on the "Hygge" saturation from the Unisum Mastering Compressor this new plug-in improves on the original in pretty much every aspect.

Introducing Kelvin Tone Shaper

Kelvin combines flexible dual-stage saturation with powerful push/pull equalization in an inspiring new way to shape sounds.

Deceptively simple to use, Kelvin offers detailed saturation models, mastering-grade performance, and vast sonic possibilities with just a few parameters. Pick your favourite combination from several transformer, tube, and diode circuits to bring tracks to life with rich harmonic coloration and warm saturation, or get creative with frequency specific distortion and beautiful analog-style tone sculpting.

Features

Interactive dual-stage saturation with separate control of gain and model for each stage
Freely combine 8 highly detailed models of transformer, tube, and diode saturation circuits
Flexible tone shaping filters to adjust saturation per frequency and overall tonal balance
Beautifully sounding analog style filters, including passive Pultec style low and high bands
Unique harmonic “Spread” feature to create width by introducing subtle harmonic variances
“De-Fuzz” feature to reduce mid-high frequency saturation and clean up artifacts
Optional soft clipper on output to discreetly shave off peaks or add a 3rd stage of crush
Auto-gain on output tuned to keep loudness balanced while still allowing musical crescendos
Smooth audio rate modulation of main parameters
Dry/Wet control for easy parallel processing
High fidelity oversampling with separate setting for offline rendering quality.
Native support for both Intel and Apple Silicon processors

Available now!

Format: VST3, AU, AAX for Mac and Windows.

Intro Price: $74 (reg. price $99 from July 9)

Kelvin owes a lot to an amazing beta team who helped iron out the kinks, fine-tune the sonics, and push for the right features to be added. Huge thanks to all beta testers for your patience and attention to detail!

Cheers,

Rune
