The Omnipressor: Revolutionizing Dynamics Effects Processing
In the early 1970s, Eventide introduced the groundbreaking Omnipressor, marking a pivotal moment in audio processing history. This revolutionary device, conceived by Eventide’s founder Richard Factor and perfected for production by John Paul, emerged as the world’s first dynamics effects processor. With its innovative design, the Omnipressor unlocked a realm of creative possibilities, offering variable control over dynamic modification like never before.
At the core of its functionality was the introduction of the ‘side chain,’ a concept that would reshape the landscape of audio processing. Additionally, the Omnipressor pioneered techniques such as ‘look ahead’ processing, which have since become standard in modern audio production. Its visionary features paved the way for a new era of dynamic manipulation, empowering engineers and artists to explore uncharted territories of sound design and sonic expression.
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
