SKnote tells us that C165a has been developed by measuring and testing a classic VCA compressor. They say that its features have been extended to include sidechain filters, a sample-aligned parallel mixing control and a limiter switch.

Main Features:

• mono/stereo
• Auto mode for easy compression, punch and smooth sustain
• 4x oversampling for nice saturation
• internal sidechain equalizer (low, mid and high bands)
• internal limiter with controlled distortion (for more punch, peak control or creative drive - switchable)
• sample aligned internal parallel compression
• knee meter (leds) and in/out/compression meter
• simple 3D interface
• from transparent compression to extreme punch, sustain and creative distortion

Pricing and Availability:
Available as Win32/64 VST, Mac32/64 VST/AU and soon RTAS
