Sonnox has announced Oxford Envolution, a frequency-dependent envelope shaping plug-in designed to ‘radically modify the sound of individual tracks, buses and even master outputs’.

Envolution boasts comprehensive and independent control of transients and sustain, with Tilt and Focus controls to choose where in the frequency spectrum the effect is applied. This allows extensive manipulation of the audio’s envelope for creative or extreme results.

Transients can be boosted to add presence and punch, or reduced to create perspective; while the sustain section can easily make the ambience around a recording bloom, or can be cut back for quick and precise gating.

‘With such a wide range of potential users in so many audio sectors, from post, music to live sound, we’re excited about the creative possibilities that Envolution will bring,’ says Senior Sales & Marketing Manager, Nathan Eames. ‘In keeping with all Sonnox designs, we’ve kept three core values in mind throughout the development process of Envolution – ease of use, an intuitive interface and most importantly – a great sound.’

Envolution is available in Native format (AAX Native, Audio Units and VST) at a retail price of £170 (ex VAT), and AAX DSP format at a retail of £275.
