AP Mastering releases Curvature v2.0 and updates Versatile Compressor, Saturation and Delta Expose

AP Mastering has released updates for the Versatile Compressor, Saturation, Curvature and Delta Expose plugins for macOS and Windows. Curvature Curvature was released in August, with AP Mastering describing it as 'an industry-disrupting plugin featuring a compressor model that has literally never been done before'. Version 2 features another compression model which AP says has also never been done before. Everyone who bought version 1 gets a free upgrade. Curvature's interface has been completely redesigned with 3D knobs and has 4 'remote control pages' targeted at different kinds of users. There is a retro page (skeuomorphic design) which simplifies everything so you can just press a button and turn a knob. The brick wall limiter for example literally just has one single knob. Then there's the preset page, where you can hit one of 8 presets (same as in V1) with a randomizer button, and you have control over attack and release times. Finally, there is an expert page which exposes all controls into the compression engine. But instead of the greeks in V1 (kappa, gamma etc), each algorithm now has helpful labeling. AP Mastering says: There are currently 10 completely different compression models and two of them have never been done before. The new 'Quantum' mode in Curvature isn't just a 'quantum buzzword' gimmick, it is legitimately modeling electrons (in this case, audio samples) quantum tunneling, using academically correct mathematics. And the result is like nothing you've ever heard before. Because, AFAIK, nobody has ever done it before. Curvature has too many new features and improvements to list here, and I will leave the explanation of what quantum tunneling compression actually is for my upcoming YouTube video. Saturation Saturation now has an updated UI, considerably better mouse behaviour, and mouse wheel support. The next feature will be a wet/dry knob. It is now also available for AAX / Pro Tools and remains 100% free and open source. Versatile Compressor Versatile Compressor includes a bugfix concerning the attack and release times when switching oversampling on and off. It is also now available for Pro Tools and continues to be 100% free and open source. Delta Expose Delta Expose has also seen some major updates, specifically for Pro Tools and Logic users. It is now way easier to use and it works in all good DAWs. Read More
