McDSP Classic Pack Native v7 (Software Download)

McDSP’s legendary emulations of vintage equalizers, compressors, tape machines and channel amplifiers are available together as McDSP Classic Pack v7. This historical bundle of signal processing software consists of four different plug-ins, each one as legendary as the next. Included is the Analog Channel v7, CompressorBank v7, FilterBank v7 and the MC2000 v7.

Analog Channel
The AC101 configuration acts as a digital pre-amp allowing even excessive amounts of gain without digital distortion. A drive control determines where the audio “sits” in the saturation/compression region, and even the attack and release times of the distortion character are adjustable.

The AC202 configuration emulates analog tape machines. In addtiion to standard tape machine parameters such as bias, playback speed, and IEC1/2 equalization, AC202 offers controls well beyond the limits of the reel-world devices including adjustable low frequency roll off and head bump—independent of playback speed. The user can select from several playback head types, tape formulations, and even control the tape saturation recovery time.

CompressorBank
CompressorBank is a high-end compressor plug-in designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern compressors, while delivering complete control of dynamic compression. CompressorBank is three plug-ins in total including the CB101 basic compression, CB202 compression with pre-filtering, and the CB303 compressor with pre-filtering and static/dynamic EQ. In addition to the standard threshold and ratio controls, the actual shape and response of the compression curve can be adjusted with the Knee and BITE controls. Flexible compression control is complimented with pre-filtering and post-compression EQ.

FilterBank
FilterBank is a high-end equalizer plug-in designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern equalizers and filters. There are three plug-ins included with FilterBank, the E606 parametric, high and low shelving EQ, high and low pass filters; the F202 steep high and low pass filtering with resonant Q control; and P606 parametric EQ with variable Q modes. Since it’s debut in 1998, FilterBank has become a legend within the audio community.  With its unique Peak, Slope, Dip controls and variable Q modes FilterBank can emulate any EQ, or be used to create a distinct custom EQ.

MC2000 Multi-band Compressor
The MC2000 is a high-end multi-band compressor plug-in designed to emulate the sounds of vintage and modern compressors. There are three plug-ins in total with the MC2000 and they are the MC202 2-band compressor, the MC303 3-band compressor, and the MC 404 4-band compressor. 

The MC2000 gives the user complete control of multi-band dynamic compression. Common controls such as output (make-up gain), threshold, compression (ratio), attack, and release are provided. Non-standard Knee and BITE controls allow unique and unprecedented articulation of compression characteristics. Multiple peak detection circuit types provide flexibility only previously achieved by owning several compression units. Steep 24dB/Oct crossover filters minimize signal leakage into adjacent compression bands.
