Korneff Audio – Chocolate Milk - Multiband "Gooderizer"

New Toy Alert: Chocolate Milk, now available from Korneff Audio.

This one started as a bit of a side quest. The idea was to capture the parts of analog tape we actually like (saturation, compression, that high-end sparkle) and arrange them in a way that tape couldn't do.

That being said, Chocolate Milk is not a tape plugin. There are plenty of those already — great ones, even. Instead of focusing on recreating the quirks of physical tape machines, this one's all about capturing the parts of tape we actually love.... the harmonics, the compression, the lift - without the noise floor or the nostalgia placebo. We call it a multiband "Gooderizer" cause it's just built to sound good.

I know we've already hit you with a coffee cup, and now a milk carton, but we're not leaving analog modeling behind. Not even close. We've got a bunch upcoming releases based on real analog hardware, all with the deep circuit modeling you guys already know and love. Chocolate Milk is just one stop on that journey.

And yeah... FROTH features an analog-modeled Baxandall shelf. So there's still some hardware DNA under the hood.

So what does it do?

Chocolate Milk is a 3-band tone sculptor, each band with its own flavor of processing:

MOO (Low Band): A saturator tailored for low-end. From warm and clean to gritty and blown out.

SQUISH (Mid Band): A fully controllable compressor with attack, release, ratio, and threshold for smoothing the mids.

FROTH (High Band): A Baxandall-style EQ for adding sweetness and lift to the top end.

You can adjust crossover points to shape where each band starts and stops. There's a multiband control panel on the back for more detailed tweaking. All the controls (even the front stuff) is accessible on the back panel, that way you can either dial in something quick on the front, or hop to the back for detailed control without endless page toggles.

What can you use it on?

Anything you want to sound "Gooder"! Chocolate Milk shines on just about everything. Drum busses, vocals, 2‑track stems and loops, full mixes, synths. Anything that needs to feel more "finished."
