Acustica Audio Opal Comp 2023 [WIN]

Pumpkin Pro is the latest Acqua plugin, available in VST, AU, AAX formats, introducing a unique blend of a flexible dual-stage saturation section with a powerful analog- style EQ push/pull (LF – MF – HF). This innovative combination offers an exciting way to sculpt your sounds and make them come to life.

Providing a complete selection of saturation types, this plugin can infuse your tracks with lively harmonic depth, coloration, revitalizing your audio. This marks Acustica’s first plugin in the Hyper 3 series to incorporate intelligent 3-band EQ emphasis and de-emphasis features, and the synergy between its sections is truly remarkable.

Nevertheless, the standout feature here is the real-time graphical representation that visually shows the plugin’s actions and behaviour – a huge improvement in the Acustica domain. Pumpkin Pro is all of this and much more…
