Arturia VCA-65 is a digital recreation and expansion of the Over Easy VCA-style compressor/limiter. Accurately modelled from the hardware counterpart using Arturias celebrated Phi and TAE analog-modelling technologies VCA-65 delivers the same unmistakable sound and response as the original with enhanced side-chain control for modern producers and workflow. The ultimate rhythmic compressor VCA-65 can be used for transparent dynamics control or as a colourful compression which adds grit and character to your sound. The versatility of the auto attack/release controls paired with the peak stop limiter circuit ensures that the Arturia VCA-65 is flexible enough to be used on both individual instruments or as an entire mix bus compressor. Equipped with advanced sidechain detection powerful sidechain band EQ listen and external/internal audio selection VCA-65 can be used to create space between two instruments fighting for the same frequency range or for the more extreme EDM-style pumping compression.

Compression made Over Easy The release of the hardware counterpart provided users with a different compression style from anything that came before. Rather than a vacuum tube-powered compression its solid-state VCA design paired with cutting-edge RMS dynamics detection to create a highly-musical and punchy compressor. Rare to find a pristine model in working order VCA-65 has been brought to life with Arturias proprietary TAE and Phi analog-modelling techniques delivering an exact sonic replica of the hardware original. Employing all of the parameters youll find on the original Arturia VCA-65 includes the fabled Auto Attack/Release control and simple peak stop limiter. Both of these parameters can be used in tandem to create the signature punchy and thick compression tone its renowned for all while maintaining a natural sound even at extreme settings. All the dynamic processing youll ever need Technology has moved on since the 70s but that doesnt mean that we have to leave these classics behind. Not when they sound this good… Opening the VCA-65 youll find a gorgeous 4K interface which houses all of the parameters youd expect to find on the original. Diving into the variable compression dial fast attack and release times Arturia VCA-65 is perfect for transient-heavy instruments in a mix. Whether youre looking to squash a drum room microphone for huge sustain tame poorly performed bass guitar by slamming the dynamics for a consistent sound or help sparkling clean electric guitars jump out of a mix VCA-65 can get you there. A chameleonic compressor VCA is capable of being both extremely transparent or crunchy and distorted. This versatility makes it an ideal candidate for both individual instrument processing and mix bus dynamics taming. Setting your attack and release parameters to Auto dynamically adjusts the compressors settings to best fit with the tempo and feel of your song. Combine this with an extremely versatile compression ratio dial from 1:1 to infinite:1 and the peak stop limiter level and you have a very capable mastering compressor. Vintage tone modern features Expanding the functionality of the compressor into the modern era Arturia has added an advanced side-chain feature to VCA-65. The onboard side-chain control features an integrated SSL-style EQ with high and low filters and band EQ to alter the response of your compression based on the sonic quality of incoming audio. In addition VCA-65 includes seven stereo detection modes including mid/side sides only mids only linked and dual left/right. Of course a side-chain wouldnt be complete without a listen function to hear the effect of your incoming audio in isolation. Ideal for modern producers working with electronic genres or mixes with lots of layers fighting for frequency space in a mix side-chaining can leave room for instruments to breathe without clashing. You can use it to pump an 808 underneath a kick drum for consistent low-end thats not overwhelming or you can use it to duck synthesizers or guitars out the way for lead vocals in the midrange. It could even be used as a customisable de-esser for removing sibilance! Powered by technology Using proprietary modelling algorithms VCA-65 can recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation VCA-65 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 “Finally my favourite compressor now in the box.
