The Arturia FET-76 is a modern recreation of an 1176-style compressor upgraded with modern features without altering the core sound. Simply a must-have for any producer or engineer the FET-76 encompasses the exact tone and response of the original hardware thanks to Arturias proprietary TAE and Phi analog-modelling technologies. Boasting all of the original controls including the extremely fast attack and release controls four ratio buttons and the all buttons switch unlocking the signature punchy and powerful compression tones is made incredibly easy. Augmented with side-chain controls FET-76 expands on what was ever possible with the hardware original. Opening the Advanced panel Arturia has included a selectable internal or external source switch fully-fledged side-chain EQ side-chain listen and switchable stereo detection mode from mids only sides only dual or linked left/right. With this range of side-chain abilities its easy to get pumping consistent low-end relationships between kicks and bass or to leave space for vocals over the top of synths or guitars.

Whats so special about a compressor? One of the true studio staples the original late 60s compressor design quite literally changed the way music sounds from then onwards. Every mixing engineer or recording studio needs needs at least one of these in their arsenal and the demand hasnt let up since its inception. Thanks to Arturias proprietary TAE and Phi technologies FET-76 lets you enjoy the legendary tone of this hardware compressor in plug-in format to use as many times as you want in a session without the restriction of hardware. A must-have compressor Verstaile enough to be used on any source in your mix Arturias FET-76 can both function as relatively transparent dynamics tamer or a crunching colourful sound processor when pushed to the limits. Careful analysis of each individual component and how they react to different sound sources ensures that FET-76 behaves exactly like the real hardware variant. The combination of FET design and Class A amplifier circuit imparts a very pleasant musical character even at low compression levels. A piece of legendary hardware brought into the 21st century Its difficult to imagine the 1176 compressor sounding better and having more flexibility. Well now its not hard to imagine with Arturias FET-76. Recreating the compressor from the ground up allowed Arturia to explore subtle changes and enhancements without altering the legendary tone. Upon opening youll see a familiar interface with all of the original controls with the inclusion of a new Mix knob letting you blend in parallel the dry and wet signals internally. Clicking into Advanced View is where the fun begins. In the Advanced section FET-76 opens up the side-chain control. Here you can select between internal or external sources and features external sidechain gain level to tailor the compressors response to your incoming audio. Theres also a full side-chain EQ featuring high and low-pass filters and band EQ making it ideal to trigger the compression based on the sonic quality of the sidechain signal. Not stopping there theres also a Time Warp dial which alters the pre-delay of your compression envelope to get creative with your side-chaining. When using in stereo mode Arturia have included a stereo detection control to sidechain against only the sides mids linked left and right or dual left and right. Of course a sidechain wouldnt be complete with a listen feature to hear only the sidechain in your signal. Powered by technology Using proprietary modelling algorithms FET-76 can recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation FET-76 is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument whilst Phis state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions. Reviews “Wow what an amazing compressor! I can use the FET-76 along with my arsenal of analogue compressor including 1176s to create the exaxct sound I want and so easily. I love the FET-76” – Steven A Williams (Producer – The Chapel Studios London) “The Comp FET-76 is an absolute Swiss Army knife in my studio. The sidechain fucntion is so easy and well thought out.
