Cytomic tell us that The Glue is a high quality analog modeled plug-in based on a cross between an E and G series SSL 4000 buss compressor with some additional features. They say that it uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use and that it's quick and easy to use with an uncluttered interface.
Additions include an ultra-fast attack time of up to 0.01mS and a Range knob which Cytomic says backs off the compression to give incredibly natural sounding attacks and limits the maximum amount of compression applied. Also included are external sidechain support and an adjustable sidechain highpass filter.
Here's all the details directly from Cytomic...
