Four faders, one goal: dynamics to suit your taste

Every sound consists of the same basic building blocks. Articulate makes them visible and directly shapeable:
Smack for the initial, attention-grabbing impact, Punch for the emphasis, Body for the core and Air for the decay. This allows you to sharpen a kick attack, tame hi-hats or give a piano more presence without destroying the rest of the envelope.

Sidechain envelope shaping for clean, modern mixes

The sidechain mode allows you to shape one signal with another. Let the Kick breathe the Bass , clean up reverb tails or create groove ducking - all with the same ADSR idea, only smarter and more musical than classic compression.

System requirements and compatibility

Articulate runs on macOS 10.14 or higher and Windows 10 or higher in 64-bit hosts. AAX, AU, VST, VST3 including Apple Silicon compatibility are supported. Ideal for modern music production, mixing, mastering and sound design.

Why Articulate should not be missing in any plug-in folder

Articulate is more than a transient shaper - it's an audio ADSR that makes you feel like you can tweak the performance after the fact. From a quick "drum bus lift" to surgically shaping individual hits, you get control without side effects. A plug-in that makes mixes faster, louder, clearer and livelier - without you having to fight your way through menus.
