Bittersweet v3 by Flux

As simple as just turning a knob

Turning the knob to Sweet side reduces the transients which commonly decreases any transient-rich percussive sounds in the mix, and turning the knob to the Bitter side magnifies the transients which commonly increases any transient-rich percussive sounds in the mix.

Multiband Features

Using a built in M/S Encoder/Decoder the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound can be processed independently.

• Main – processes using regular stereo signal scheme and it’s the only available mode for multichannel operations
• Center – engages the internal MS encoder and processes only the Mid channel. After processing, the sound is decoded back to stereo (useful for snare/kick drums)
• Stereo – engages the internal MS encoder and processes only the Side channel. After processing the sound is decoded back to stereo. (Efficient for panned rhythmic instruments)

All Features

•  Up to 8 channels Input/Output
• Output Gain
• Controls the Output Gain at the end of the processing (-/+ 12 dB).   
• Link to Output Gain – Compensates the Output Gain depending on the Transient Amount in order to achieve unity gain.
• True bypass control routing the incoming signal direct to the output for a smooth transition between clean and processed signal
• Transient Amount – Adjusting the Bitter/Sweet setting for decreasing or increasing the transients.
• Transient Integration – Provides three different modes of transient processing; Fast, Medium and Slow
• Period – For setting the range of the time window used to detect the transients that will be processed.
• Three different Operation Modes (Main, Center, Stereo) offering versatile transient processing.
• Open Sound Control Support
