URS announces
URS Saturation Plug-in v2.5
The URS
Saturation plug-in v2.5 includes ten vintage analog algorithms
The URS Saturation plug-in digitally
recreates six different and distinct pre amplifier algorithms, non linear
tape head saturation and transformer core saturation. Each features a different
type of input stage saturation, even and odd ordered harmonics and soft
clipping.
The six Pre Amplifier Saturation
algorithms include:
- Class A Tube
Mic Pre Amplifier - Vintage Motorcity
- Class A Tube
Mic Pre Amplifier - German
- Class A Discrete
Pre Amplifier - British
- Class A Discrete
JFet Pre Amplifier - Modern
- Class A Tube
Mic Pre Amplifier - 1951
- Class A Tube
Mic Pre Amplifier - Tape Deck
The Two Mono Tape Head algorithms
add Analog Tape saturation. This non-linear saturation produces a smoothing
effect on high frequency transients.
The Transformer Core Saturation algorithm
adds non linear transformer core saturation as found on vinatge consoles,
tape machines and outboard gear.

URS Announces
the URS M series EQ Bundle for Macintosh OSX
The URS
MotorCity 7 Band Equalizer
The URS M series MotorCity Equalizer
digitally recreates the legendary 7 band passive equalizers used exclusively
by Motown staff engineers during the Motown era. I heard it thru
the grapevine that the sliders on the early units were unreliable. Motown's
cheif technical engineer Mike McLean built "Brick House" custom modified
clones using stepped rotary switches on each band for added reliability
and a variable gain booster amplifier for gain level matching. It has been
our Pride and Joy recreating this classic.
The seven
bands that defined an era of American Music!
We're not talking about the Supremes,
Jackson Five, Temptations, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles,
Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. We're talking about the seven bands of equalization
that were used to sculpt and define the sound of the Motown era. Don't
forget the Motor City!
Rarer than
Hen's Teeth!
Aint nothing like the real thing
baby! But finding one won't be easy as only 38 units were known to be built.
In 1965 Motown built their own eight track tape recorder and first six
Motown EQs. Motown artists were recoding eight track years before the Beatles
and Beach Boys who were still using only four track. In 1968 another 32
Motown EQs were built, 16 for each new 16 Track room. In the early days
of Motown the recording room was set up with all of the instruments in
their respective places. The same microphones, pre amps, outboard EQ and
the same musicians all contributed to the uniform sound. Engineers realized
that EQ was just as much a creative tool as a technical one. Mercy, Mercy,
Me!
Simplicity
is elegance!
How Sweet it is! The simple passive
equalizer design exudes elegance in its smooth response. The seven frequencies
encompass the entire spectrum of Higher Ground. No need for "Super
Freak" adjustable Q bandwidth. The original units were the first equalizers
to feature Proportional Q, a feature where small boost/cuts will have a
very broad Q and greater boost/cuts will have a narrower Q. The URS M series
MotorCity EQ will put you on Cloud Nine. It's as Easy as ABC 1•2•3!
URS M series
Vintage Cinema Equalizer
The URS M series Vintage Cinema Equalizer
digitally recreates the even rarer 6 band passive equalizers used for film
and professional cinema. The original vintage hardware units from the 1930's
were considered to be of the first equalizers ever made with six bands
- 80hz, 200hz, 500hz, 1.25khz, 3.2khz and 8khz. We have added what we feel
is a necessary seventh band at 16khz. The URS Vintage Cinema EQ frequencies
overlap with the URS M series MotorCity EQ frequency centers and when both
plug-ins are used together they make a total of fourteen bands.
What's Going
On?
The URS M series EQ Bundle initially
supports TDM and RTAS for Mac OSX.
Support for Audio Units and VST
for both Mac OSX and WinXP coming soon.
Keep on truckin!
