Rave Generation Sonic Air v1.0.1 (Win/macOS)

Harmonic Modes allow you to shape your sound with five distinct saturation styles: Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm, and Inflator Mode-inspired by classic loudness maximization techniques, adding harmonic richness while preserving dynamic integrity.
The Strength control lets you fine-tune the intensity of the exciter effect, making it versatile for subtle enhancement or aggressive shaping. Meanwhile, Listen Mode allows you to isolate the processed signal, helping you dial in settings with precision.
An advanced adaptive shelving filter provides smoother, more natural high-frequency shaping, dynamically responding to your input signal for an airy, pristine top-end.
KEY FEATURES
* HF Exciter
Enhances high-frequency content to add brightness and presence to your mix. The HF Exciter parameter allows fine-tuning of the exciter amount to achieve the desired level of enhancement.
* HF Start
Sets the cutoff frequency for the HF Exciter, allowing precise control over which frequencies are affected.
* Mid Air and High Air
Provides dynamic enhancement for the mid and high-frequency ranges, adding air and clarity. These controls adjust the intensity of the enhancement, bringing out details in your mix.
* Strength
Controls the intensity of the dynamic enhancement applied to the exciter bands. Higher values result in stronger and more aggressive harmonic processing.
* Harmonic Mode
Selects between different harmonic saturation modes for high-frequency enhancement, including Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm, and Inflator.
* Transient Enhancement
The plugin automatically applies transient enhancement to high-frequency content, making percussive elements and other transient-heavy sounds more prominent without adding harshness. This internal feature ensures that your mix retains clarity and impact.
* Integrated Clipping Control
Includes a dual-stage clipping mechanism to prevent digital clipping and maintain pristine audio quality at high output levels. This feature combines soft clipping, hard clipping, and soft limiting to ensure the output does not exceed digital zero, providing both protection and a pleasing analog-like distortion.
* Listen Mode
Allows users to isolate the processed high-frequency content for detailed adjustments.
* Internal Dynamic Enhancement
The plugin uses an internal dynamic enhancement technique that applies soft clipping to add harmonic distortion. This processing step adds warmth and character to your mix, making it sound more analog-like and musical.
USER INTERFACE - MAIN CONTROLS
HF Exciter (%): Adjusts the amount of high-frequency excitation.
Cutoff Frequency (Hz): Sets the cutoff frequency for the HF Exciter.
Mid Air (%): Controls the enhancement level for mid frequencies.
High Air (%): Controls the enhancement level for high frequencies.
Strength (%): Adjusts the intensity of dynamic enhancement.
Harmonic Mode: Selects between Tube, Tape, Retro, Warm, and Inflator.
Trim (dB): Adjusts the final output gain.
Clip 0dB (on/off): Engages the Smart Clip 0dB feature, which uses dual-stage clipping:
* Soft Clipping: Gradually limits the signal as it approaches the threshold, providing smooth distortion.
* Hard Clipping: Ensures that the signal does not exceed the threshold, providing absolute protection against digital clipping.
* Soft Limiting: Adds an additional layer of control, reducing peaks in a more musical manner, preserving the natural dynamics of the audio.
Listen Mode (on/off): Outputs only the excited signal for fine-tuning.
Effect In (on/off): Enables or bypasses the processing.
