Cytomic TheDrop v1.0.16 MacOSX

The Drop is an analog modeled resonant filter plug-in. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. There is a huge level of detail in the models, which gives them amazing drive and tone. As well as the detailed circuit models more efficient algorithms are included for situations where CPU considerations are more important than tone, but even these models are of the highest quality.

Feature Summary

Dual stereo resonant filter with a Highpass into Lowpass
Seven different detailed circuit models
Stereo and Mono processing with either 2 or 4 poles
Loads of drive and character
Full frequency range and perfect resonance tracking without oversampling so there is no latency in processing
Huge amounts of resonance if you want and also "Safe" button for DJ use where screaming self oscillation is not desired
One basic and one advanced LFO capable of audio rate stereo modulation
Two analog modelled AHR envelopes that double as envelope followers, one for the cutoff and one for amplitude
FM from main audio input or sidechain audio input
DSP coded using C++ and SSE2, Interface coded using the Juce framework (C++)
Password protected copy protection

Circuit Modelling and DSP

Cytomic uses the same circuit modelling techniques that are used in professional circuit simulation packages but optimised for real time use. The structure including all feedback loops and useful non-linearities of the original circuit has been preserved. The algorithm uses actual values for resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and other circuit components. The voltages and currents are solved in real time and match as closely as possible to the analog circuit in both the time and frequency domains.
