Topograph Vox Chain: Vocal Processing Chain Plugin by Fischer Music Club

Topograph Vox Chain brings the stages of a vocal chain together in one plugin. Six sliders cover the main tools: Elevation handles the high pass, Lightning controls the de-esser, Peaks sets the compressor, Rain adds delay, Wind sets the reverb and Sun applies saturation.

Keeping every control in view at once makes it easier to balance the stages against each other. Fischer Music Club notes that a rack of separate plugins spreads settings across several windows, while this plugin keeps them together.

The Peaks compressor is the core of the chain. According to Fischer Music Club, it scans the voice band by band and reduces the harsh ringing resonances first. It then compresses the remaining signal to produce a denser, smoother vocal.

Because the terrain display updates as you move each slider, you can see how the processing reshapes the signal as you work.
