DVR2 is the most precise EMT250 emulator to date, suitable for both studio and live use, say TC Electronic. It presents fine-tuned qualities of the original processor such as sweet modulation, spectral balance, spaciousness and saturation. The Vintage Reset function produces a sound very close to a well-preserved EMT250, which is still a favorite on lead vocals in studios fortunate enough to own one.
NonLin2 is an effects reverb offering easy-to-tailor compact room-feel applicable on any lead vocal or mix. Unlike the traditional natural sounding TC reverbs, NonLin2 is capable of generating compact vocal ambience, percussive and dramatic drum sounds, reverse reverbs and new 'twisted' effects. Featuring an amplitude envelope capable of rendering an untriggered, gated reverb and a 'twist' parameter, which can radically alter the sound, this plug-in delivers a serious advantage over other gated reverbs, the company says.
Along with the previously released MD3 Multiband Dynamics and VSS3 Stereo Source Reverb plug-ins, TC now offers a total of four algorithms from System 6000 with full System 6000 and PowerCore preset compatibility. All plug-ins are 1:1 ports of the System 6000 algorithms and are in no way emulated, modified or limited, the company says.
