Last year, Gravity by Heavyocity Media has been one of our favorite virtual instruments (see our Gravity review and our Sonic Joy Awards 2015).
A few days ago the US company announced the release of PUNISH, a dynamic new FX plugin. There are already excellent plugins and devices that add character to our digital tracks (such as the good old Ohm Force Ohmicide, our beloved Soundtoys Decapitator and the upcoming Elektron Analog Heat) but PUNISH has a few tricks up its sleeve and it immediately caught our attention.
Modeled after Heavyocity’s custom analog signal chains, PUNISH provides control over Compression, Saturation, Transients, EQ, and Limiting. From subtle warmth to extreme drive and compression, PUNISH injects character and edge into any mix or instrument track.
PUNISH features three distinct models for both the Compression and Saturation modules, offering vast dynamic range. From smooth Class-A Style Buss compression to fat Tube Saturation — each PUNISH Compression and Saturation model bring their own distinct character, adding analog warmth and bite to each stage of the signal chain.
Add in discrete controls for Transients, EQ, and Limiting, and PUNISH delivers Heavyocity’s award-winning sound-shaping capabilities right to your fingertips.
At the heart of it all is the global PUNISH Knob. Heavyocity has designed an intuitive way to modulate all of the effects’ parameters, quickly and easily bringing character and life into your sounds. With a few simple clicks, the central PUNISH knob becomes a highly-dynamic macro control, capable of any and every degree of PUNISHment.
