1.2 Product Overview
The eMo-D5 plugin is an advanced yet easy-to-use dynamics multiprocessor that delivers the power of five plugins in one
interface. It gives you maximum versatility for shaping the dynamics of any signal, with zero latency and very low CPU
consumption.
eMo-D5 processors:
1. Gate with dedicated HP/LP filters and an external sidechain option
2. Compressor with a parallel compression feature, dedicated high-pass/low-pass filters and an external sidechain option
3. C-weighted Leveler with adjustable range
4. Comprehensive DeEsser with pre/post-compressor routing and 3 filter types
5. Smooth, sharp-attack Limiter with zero latency
To help you easily control and monitor the total dynamic change added by the different processors, eMo-D5 employs clever parallel
detection and adds a combined gain reduction meter for the Leveler, Compressor and Limiter.
