Elysia Alpha Compressor V2 is a detailed emulation of one of the most revered analog mastering compressors ever made. Utilizing the latest physical modeling techniques, along with an accurate new model of Brainworx's built-in Lehle transformer to add to the analog warmth of the original, and a customizable user interface optimized for today's screen resolutions, V2 represents the apotheosis of the Alpha compressor concept.

The original Alpha Compressor is legendary for a reason
It delivers clean, controlled high-end compression even at extreme settings, offering flexibility and accuracy while maintaining a flawless sound. This compressor enhances anything you put through it, providing everything from subtle glue to surgical refining and correction, all while preserving the pristine musicality of your mix or master.

Established partnership once again sets the benchmark
Developed by Brainworx in close collaboration with Elysia, V2 builds upon the hardware and renowned V1 plug-in, integrating a host of new features that intelligently expand the control and sonic capabilities of the original Alpha Compressor. The result is an incredibly refined tool that meets the demands of modern workflows with efficiency, precision, and uncompromising pristine audio quality.

Alpha Sound V2 Control
The overhauled and resized user interface now combines the Brainworx top toolbar with an expandable plug-in-specific section containing options to further dial in exactly the sound you're looking for. You'll find Brainworx's patented TMT channel modeling, controls for setting up the space, adjusting the stereo field and sidechain linking, and the option to use external key input if needed.

→ Features:

→Modeling from hardware:
• Collaborated with elysia to accurately emulate the original alpha compressor, providing the most complex and complete set of dynamics controls in plug-in form.
•The sonic integrity of the original source material is maintained even when extreme settings are applied.
• Integrated M/S Matrix: As an alternative to standard stereo operation, you can process the mid and side signals independently, providing more options for improving the accuracy of the stereo field.
• Forward and reverse feed: The type of compression can be selected for each channel individually, allowing for different characteristic responses at the push of a button.
•Automatic and Fast: Switchable semi-automation always provides perfect attack and release according to adjustable values – even when working with complex material.
•Niveau EQ provides further control for detailed tone shaping, extra clarity, and zero-harsh impact.
• Sidechain Filter: Onboard frequency-selective compression avoids the need for complex routing and facilitates an efficient workflow.
• Parallel Compression: Both direct and compressed signals can be mixed as needed.

→ Plugin-only enhancements in V2:
• Completely overhauled CPU efficient and resizable user interface for high-resolution displays
• Brainworx TMT (Tolerance Modeling Technology) for ultra-realistic simulation behavior and channel variance
• TX drive transformer modeling for rich harmonic saturation
• Stereo width and mono makers for advanced spatial control
• Head controls that match modern mastering workflows
• Enhanced metering and gain staging through automatic output gain
• Ambience, external sidechain (key) input and sidechain monitoring
