The Vertigo Sound VSM-3 Mix Satellite plug-in by Brainworx delivers a faithful emulation of the renowned analog hardware, designed for UAD-2 systems and Apollo interfaces. It captures the unique tonal character and depth of the original device, offering an enhanced experience with additional features that extend its sonic capabilities. This plug-in is crafted for precise control over saturation and distortion, letting users shape their sound with clarity and detail.

Users can generate a wide range of effects, from subtle warmth to intense distortion, by manipulating the 2nd Harmonic FET Crusher, which provides tube-like cohesion or rich, full distortion. The 3rd Harmonic Zener Blender adds sparkle and clarity to dull tracks, enhancing their presence. These two components can be combined either in parallel or series, allowing flexible sound shaping tailored to individual mixing needs.

The plug-in includes advanced features such as frequency-specific processing and a Solo function to isolate and fine-tune exact frequency areas. Mid/side processing mode enhances control over the stereo image, enabling users to add solidity to the center or bring air to stereo elements. This makes the VSM-3 Mix Satellite a powerful tool for enhancing mixes with precision and character.
