Plug-In Features

All Black Rooster Audio plug-ins are designed for high-performance and authenticity.

Authentic Circuit Emulation

Our real-time SPICE type component based circuit simulation approach allows for an accurate emulation of the authentic sound and feel that you know and love from hardware gear. Every part of the circuits has been faithfully modelled.

SSE2 optimized code

DSP operations are pipelined using the SSE2 instruction set. This ensures a high-performance operation despite our plug-ins’ very complex computations.

Auto-Adjusted Oversampling for Maximum Audio Transparency

Aliasing artefacts are efficiently attenuated using a low latency linear phase Dolph-Chebyshev poly-phase design. The oversampling is auto-adjusted to your session's sample rate to save valuable CPU power while offering the most transparent sound possible.

HighDPI/Retina Support

The user interfaces support high pixel density on both Windows and Mac OS systems, giving you the most enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays.
