LSD-525 Amplifier & Parallel EQ

Introducing the LSD-525 Amplifier & Parallel Equalizer. This is the first of a new breed of Plug-Ins developed by Acidgrooves that feature the Acidgrooves Entropy Technology.

This patent pending technology brings to the Audio Plug-In world one of the characteristics of analog hardware that provides them with some of their unique sound qualities: the passage of time.

With time, capacitors, resistors, transformers and other analog components will decay and lose some of their original specifications which will effectively change the sound and personality of that particular unit.

Our technology tries to recreate exactly that.

Overview

"The LSD-525 was built with love by our team to provide you with exceptional warmth, clear tone and beautiful sound sculpting capabilities".

Built originally to be used along synthesizers and created with full-range of amplification and equalization, it has been proven to enrich anything from drum, bass, guitars, vocals and virtual instruments.

Whatever your musical taste may be, you will enjoy the versatility, clearness and definition our amplifier will bring to your sounds.

Features Summary

The 525 features input and output gain control, three band parallel equalizer, bass lift, and up to 64x high quality oversample.

By keeping the equalized and original signals completely separated, we have created a completely versatile sonic tool.

Each part of the topology was designed to get low latency, minimum phase distortion and provide a warm, clean and transparent sound.

This plug-in features Acidgrooves patent pending Entropy Sound Technologies: Time Arrow Decay (TAD) and Unique Sound Processing (USP) which will allow the plug-in to change its sound as it gets older.

From day one it was priority to keep the CPU usage as low as possible in order to play along with others nicely, so we worked hard to minimize it achieving maximum stability and performance.

Specs:

• 4 channel parallel equalizer: bass lift, low, mid and highs.
• Mix knob for dry /wet control.
• 2 Entropy Sound Technologies: TAD & USP
• A / B Setups, Presets, Undo & Redo capabilities.
• Designed from day one with low CPU usage in mind.
• Ideal to be used along virtual synths.
• Up to 64x oversample.
• Built-in limiter.
• Lifetime updates.

About Acidgrooves Entropy Technology Platform:

Until now, all Audio processors stay in a frozen state, once the code is compiled, it will remain the same for years to come. This removes all kind of natural maturity of the sound associated with the passage of time.

With time, capacitors, resistors, transformers and other analog components will decay and lose some of their original specifications which will effectively change the sound and personality of that particular unit.

The Acidgrooves Entropy Technology Platform tries to recreate exactly that.
