Arturia Bus FORCE Parallel Processor Effect Plug-In (Download)

Revered for its broad ranges and musical curves, the EQ module is based on the legendary 3-band Pultec EQ. Shape your sound from delicate high-end accents to an uber-fat bass boost across the stereo field. The proprietary VCA compressor is inspired by contemporary units like the Overstayer Modular Channel, which provides a punchy and modern sound. The switchable sidechain detection circuit and FORCE control allow for smooth to explosive compression techniques.

The filter module features a classic low-pass and high-pass resonant filter based on the classic Oberheim SEM, which gives your vocal sibilance room to breathe or dampens the sharpness and attack of your low end. The saturation module provides four types of saturation including Even, Odd, Thick, and Overdrive, which creates subtle warmth to a highly sought-after grungy character. Clipping offers additional distortion, which squares the waveform when it goes over zero, resulting in a lot of high-frequency partials.

The Bus FORCE offers three paths to work with including Dry, Comp, and Sat. Each path is configured to utilize a different combination of Bus FORCE modules. What's more, you have individual control over every aspect of the routing and individual module configuration. You also have control over how much of each path you want to include in the output signal, as well as how the paths interact with each other. There are over 36 possible routings to explore.
