Character is a plug-in designed to infuse your tracks with the rich distortion qualities of classic analog circuits. It emulates the unique sonic traits of vintage hardware such as mic preamps, DIs, and EQs, capturing the warmth and depth that analog gear imparts to recordings. By focusing on the distinctive textures created by tubes, transformers, and solid-state devices, this plug-in enhances audio with a natural, musical distortion that complements a wide range of styles.

The development of Character involved collaboration with experienced tracking, mixing, and mastering engineers who shared their preferred analog processors. Using advanced measurement tools, the plug-in models the subtle and complex ways these devices saturate and color sound. This approach results in 24 different distortion models that accurately recreate the pleasing imperfections of analog hardware, all integrated into a digital format with high-quality oversampling and antialiasing to ensure clarity and fidelity.

Character offers intuitive controls including manual Drive and autodrive modes to tailor the intensity of distortion, allowing for anything from gentle warmth to aggressive sound shaping. Additional features like output gain adjustment and a customizable user interface enhance workflow and usability. With a built-in preset manager supporting cross-platform usage, this plug-in provides a seamless experience for producers and engineers seeking to add authentic analog character to their digital productions.
