Klanghelm DC1A Description
DC1A is the smaller brother to the compression monster DC8C. I have taken some of my favorite settings from DC8C, and tried to make them work in a two-control context. It sounds similar to DC8C's PUNCH mode, but has a few more features such as stereo unlink and negative ratio. I have always wanted to make a compressor that only had an input and output knob. A compressor that works well, is gentle, faithful, and can do everything from smooth leveling to heavy pumping, with a nice crunchy saturation, and punchy enough for treating drums. DC1A seems like a one-trick pony. Don't be fooled by the absence of additional controls. It may surprise you at how well this little device can handle different materials. DC1A comes with a few tricks: negative (over), parallel (New York style), compression, the option to compress left or right channels independently (via DUAL MONO switch), peak compression (RELATED switch on) and DEEP activates high pass filters.

Klanghelm DC8C
DC8C is one the most versatile compressors available. It can be used in many different compression styles, but its general nature can be described as clear and distinct. The main goal while designing DC8C was to get a very clean compressor action without unwanted and often almost inevitable artifacts/distortion. This allows you to achieve almost invisible compression even for the most difficult mastering sessions. You can choose from two saturation models if you want to achieve color. Opto-style, peak compression and external side-chaining are all possible. You can also choose from feedback, feedforward, and negative ratios.

Klanghelm SDRR
SDRR was designed to meet almost all your saturation needs. It offers a wide range of controls that can be used to adjust the saturation's character to your liking. The SDRR has four main modes: TUBE DIGI, FUZZ and DESK. Each mode reacts dynamically with the input signal. Each mode has its own crosstalk behavior that can be turned off or exaggerated. Level matching is made easy by the unique RMS level difference mode. SDRR can be used for many things. It can be a saturation, compressor, EQ, an EQ or a subtle stereo widener. You can also add movement to your tracks using the DRIFT control. SDRR can add warmth, depth, and character to your tracks. The free IVGI is the little brother to SDRR. It is based upon the SDRR DESK mode. SDRR is available for macOS as well as Windows (all in one license).

Klanghelm MJUC
MJUC is the most difficult Klanghelm plugin. It took nearly two years of extensive, and I dare say "excessive" research and development. To create MJUC, I researched and analyzed every variable-mu solution I could find to bring the best of tube compression to a single processor. Three models were built to show the variety of this compression topology. These models are a time-travel through the history of tube compression in order to capture the essence and essence of each generation. Each model has its own signal path and control set. You can adjust the overall tone and saturation by using the TIMBRE and DRIVE knobs. DRIVE controls the input and output transformer loads as well as the saturation of tube gain stages. The TIMBRE allows MJUC to be used as a tone-shaper.

Klevgrand LUXE
LUXE is a plugin that compresses and saturates audio signals in a subtle but musical manner. It can be used to make a track "fit in" the mix. It can be used with excellent results on a drumbus, vocal track, or any other type of audio signal. LUXE can be used in a simple way. Simply choose from the LUXE and FINESSE algorithms and select the desired processing level. Do not be fooled by the limited control options - underneath the hood, there are many sophisticated parameters that will treat your audio with great care, musicality, and warmth. The slider controls the intensity of the effect. This parameter controls a set (non-visible), internal parameters that make LUXE a simple tool for quick results. Alternate FINESSE algorithm provides a slightly different frequency response and adds some edge for the internal saturation module.
