DISCLAIMER: This initial "pre-sale" version of Viridian will be released only with 44.1kHz and 96kHz native sample rate vectors. 48kHz and 88.2kHz vectors will be released at the end of the introductory price period. The use of the plug-in at 48kHz and 88.2kHz sample rates is still possible. However, users may experience slower plug-in load time and slightly worse sound quality due to the applied internal for the plug-in vector sample rate conversion process.

Viridian is a plugin suite based on iconic '60s and '70s units, bringing you the legendary tone of some of the world's most exclusive British solid-state vintage studio gear, used on countless of groundbreaking records that wrote the history of music. In order to give you an even more comprehensive set of tools, we even included also a powerful modern reissue of a coveted FET studio compressor, revered by studio engineers from all over the world. Plus, for some authentic tube fairy dust, we added a hyper-rare German console from the early '60s.

VIRIDIAN Channel-strip
VIRIDIAN EQ (Equalizer standalone module)

TECHNOLOGY:
Viridian uses the latest Acustica CORE 12 engine representing a new technological advancement by Acustica:
• Upgraded SASM (Symmetric & Asymmetric Saturation Modeling) high performance saturation algorithm
• Introduction of a new post-production sample de-noising tech for cleaner deconvolved impulses called STT (Super transient technology)
• Full compatibility with Client/Server architecture integrated by default in Acqua plugins
• Engine optimization, introducing a new highly efficient algorithm. This innovative technique is applied to all the deconvolved impulses for further de-noise processing and subsequent elimination of any incorrect low-level behavior (including the so-called "echo bug")
CORE 12 allows performance improvements for each plug-in of the Acqua Effects series, while at the same time preserving all the features already supported in previous CORE upgrades.
