Acustica Audio has launched a new plugin, Pumpkin Pro, a dual-stage saturator and sound modeler for Windows and Mac. The latest Acqua plugin, available in VST, AU, AAX formats, offers a unique blend of a flexible dual-stage saturation section with a powerful analog-style EQ push/pull (LF – MF – HF), providing an innovative way to shape sounds.
Pumpkin Pro provides a wide range of saturation types, allowing users to add harmonic depth and color to their tracks, revitalizing their audio. This is the first plugin in Acustica’s Hyper 3 series to incorporate intelligent 3-band EQ emphasis and de-emphasis features. The synergy between its sections is truly remarkable.
The standout feature of Pumpkin Pro is the real-time graphical representation that visually shows the plugin’s actions and behaviour. This is a significant improvement in the Acustica domain. The plugin offers a host of features including:
- Hyper3 technology.
- New ‘Aria’ engine supporting the new dynamic / real-time metering displays.
- New “Anti-Aliasing” algorithm that significantly reduces the plugin’s aliasing issues.
- Beautiful analog-style tone sculpting: intuitive 3-band pre/post Low-Mid-High shelving filters for seamless shaping of harmonics, density, and overall tonal balance.
- A dual saturation stage with different selectable models: choose from 28 extremely detailed high-quality saturation derived from analog sampled units.
- Advanced Metering System with Real-Time Waveform Display: A new visual interface that includes RMS Input-Output meters and GR meters, designed to swiftly identify peaks and extreme values in the audio signal.
- Advanced Saturation Displays: Two displays that allow real-time visualization of the static curves and the saturation component of the plugin and the action of the shape controls, which can modify the shape of the distortion curves, making the distortion more dramatic or less pronounced depending on the selected model. They also show the visualization of both positive and negative reduction components, enabling you to see how the plugin is affecting the audio signal.
- Visual Control and Precise Calibration: Pumpkin fits into a landscape of plugins that emphasize strong graphical components, offering the primary advantage of providing a highly detailed view of audio information.
- Instant Feedback: Enhanced instant response of the controls, capable of providing immediate feedback on the impact of your adjustments, enabling you to make real-time changes to the signal to achieve the desired sound quickly.
