Eventide Omnipressor

Eventide Omnipressor

Introduced in 1971, the Omnipressor rack unit was widely used on hit records throughout the last four decades. One of our first customers was a young Brian May, lead guitarist of Queen. With the Eventide Omnipressor in his rig, his sound was never the same again.

Dynamics Processor with Attitude!

Professional quality dynamic-modifier for gating, compression, limiting and expansion. The Omnipressor is even capable of reversing a sound’s envelope, making loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud. This plug-in is based on the original Eventide Omnipressor, introduced in 1971 and used on hit records throughout the last four decades.

… And Wants To Be Your Friend!

The Eventide Omnipressor plug-in is a faithful emulation of the “dark meter” unit and is popular among some of the world’s leading producers and engineers as a dynamics-modifier with variable expressive controls of all aspects of a signal’s dynamics.

Compression and Expansion With Eventide Omnipressor

The Function control allows you to set compression and expansion ratios over a wide, continuous range from extreme expansion to infinite compression and beyond. Dynamic reversal, which reverses a sound’s envelope, allows you to make loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud.

Eventide Omnipressor Features

• Dynamics Processing – capable of creating otherworldly sounds
• Dynamic Reversal – the first of its kind, soft signals come out loud and loud signals come out quiet, simulating tape reversal, a near unique attribute of this versatile compressor
• Function Control – sets a ratio over a continuous range allowing extreme expansion, to infinite compression, and is even able to push further into dynamic reversal
• Variable Control of attack and release time
• Variable Control of maximum gain and maximum attenuation
• Side Chain allows the level detect of the Omnipressor to be driven by another audio source
• Gating – amplitudes of signals that fall below a set threshold are ‘squooshed’
• Expansion – widen a signal’s dynamic range, louder gets louder, softer gets softer
• Compression offers variable control of compression ratio
• Infinite Compression – if you want everything to come out at the same level, this is the feature for you
• Limiting – a fast, versatile limiter, useful for maintaining a loud sound
• Intuitive Interface – clean and easy to operate
• Dozens of presets to help you explore and learn the unique workings of the Omnipressor
