Promising ‘range of tools and features that set a new benchmark for immersive audio production’, Solid State Logic has announced the latest System T V4.1 software update. With support for 9.1.6 channel paths, an expanded FX Rack including Fusion, Blitzer, and Sourcerer, alongside the Dual Channel View mode in the Tempest Control App (TCA), Version 4.1 offers users comprehensive immersive capabilities.
System T v4.1 expands its immersive audio capabilities with new 9.1.2, 9.1.4 and 9.1.6 channel path and bus formats, enabling enhanced workflows for object bed mixing and content creation for fixed auditorium installations with advanced loudspeaker configurations. These formats include dedicated metering, with separated height channels for added clarity.
Advanced folddown controls simplify downmixing, while a dedicated Spill function provides access to individual path elements. The FX Rack includes support for the new immersive formats, offering delay, dynamics, EQ and modulation to enhance creative possibilities. System T’s sophisticated Link Bus architecture is also expanded to include the new formats, allowing for cohesive dynamics processing across objects and beds.
System T v4.1 also adds to onboard FX options, now comprising more than 60 tools as standard, including the additions of Fusion, Blitzer and Sourcerer. Fusion emulates the five colour circuits of SSL’s Fusion hardware – Vintage Drive, Violet EQ, HF Compressor, Stereo Image and Transformer. These provide versatile tonal shaping options for mix and stem buses.
Blitzer is a flexible compressor offering everything from soft saturation to explosive limiting, while Sourcerer enhances primary source isolation by removing ambient noise in real time. In addition to the FX Rack additions, every processing path now benefits from a compressor mix control, simplifying parallel compression by blending compressed and uncompressed signals directly within the path dynamics section, eliminating the need for additional processing paths or DSP.
The Tempest Control App (TCA) delivers the full System T feature set and interface, offering flexible installation options provided by the separation of the control elements. With v4.1, a new dual-screen Channel View allows simultaneous control of 32 paths, while two Desktop Fader Tiles enable compact configurations to be built into portable, remote or desktop installations.
