Developer Fred Anton Corvest has introduced FAC Medusa, an iOS AUv3 compressor effect.

FAC Medusa combines multiple dynamic processors into a single unit. The input signal flows along the following stages:

1. Pre-amp with tone control and saturation circuit The input signal is split into three bands of frequencies (Low, Mid and High) according two adjustable crossover points. Setting the level and the saturation amount of each frequency band will make the effect more natural or characterful.
2. Compression FAC Medusa provides two types of compression. Downward compression which decreases the level of audio signal above the threshold. Upward compression increases the level of audio signal below the threshold. The compression can operate either on the SUM of the frequency bands (L+M+H) or on each frequency band coming from stage 1.
3. Parallel compression and Brickwall limiter The master Brickwall limiter is optional and will ensure that the output of stage 2, possibly blended with the original audio signal, remain under control. The limiter comes with threshold and release time controls.

Features:

• Gentle, natural, or aggressive and colorful compressor
• Combine different dynamic processors into a single and easy to use unit
• 3-Band input tone controls with adjustable crossovers and saturators
• Split/Sum frequency bands before compression
• Two dynamic controls: Downward or Upward
• Range and knee controls to limit compression depth
• Parallel compression and master Brickwall limiter
• Sidechain and multi-outs support
• Precise metering with decibel values
• Advanced Responsive Design, portrait and landscape views
• AuV3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone)
