01Overview

Omnipressor is a dynamics plugin from Eventide that covers gating, expansion, compression and limiting in one processor. The developer describes it as a modern version of its 1971 rack unit, which was widely used on commercial recordings over the following four decades. Its distinguishing function is Dynamic Reversal, which can reverse a sound's envelope so that loud passages become quiet and quiet passages become loud. Producers looking for a dynamics tool that goes beyond transparent control will find its character-driven approach useful.

Dynamics Processing for Unusual Sound Design

Eventide positions Omnipressor as a tool for creating otherworldly sounds rather than only for corrective level control. Gating, expansion, compression and limiting can be combined to reshape the attack and decay of a sound, which makes the processor suited to rhythmic gating effects, aggressive pumping and transients that behave in unexpected ways.

Dynamic Reversal is the feature that sets the plugin apart. By inverting the dynamic envelope, it turns loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud, which can produce swells and reversed-feel textures from ordinary recordings.

Workflow and Interface

Omnipressor uses a Function dial to select its processing modes, so the controls stay compact and easy to reach. The developer states that the interface is designed to be simple to operate, which helps when switching quickly between gating, compression and reversal while auditioning a sound.

The plugin is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats, so it can be used in most major digital audio workstations on Windows or macOS.
