The SSL Duende Native v3.6.6 Plug-in suite is a collection of audio processing tools which bring professional audio quality, sophistication and benchmark performance within reach of all DAW users. Duende plug-ins provide the superior precision, advanced feature set and legendary tonal characteristics of SSL console products in affordable VST/AU/RTAS plug-in form. They are quite simply the easiest way to get your hands on professional tools that will help you achieve professional mixes that sound like a record.
The foundations of the Duende Native collection are plug-in adaptations of two SSL console classics; the EQ & Dynamics Channel plug-in provides an EQ & Dynamics processing solution with all the power, precision, flexibility and signature tone of an SSL console channel strip. The legendary Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in gives you the classic SSL stereo master bus compressor that brings power and punch to your mix without compromising clarity. Drumstrip and Vocalstrip are ‘task specific’ plug-ins which each gather together a set of carefully selected and lovingly crafted processing tools to get you straight to outstanding Drum and Vocal sounds quickly and easily. X-EQ and X-Comp are both mastering grade processors that deliver superb balance of precision and tonal character. X-Verb is an incredibly powerful and flexible processor which brings beautiful hardware standard Reverb to your DAW.
ABOUT THE SSL PLUG-IN RANGE
Channel Strip
The EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is based on the EQ and compressor sections of the XL 9000 K Series console. SSL
were the first mixing console manufacturer to feature dynamics and EQ on every channel on an in-line console with the
SL 4000 B Series in 1977. The plug-in includes separate high and low pass filters, an independent compressor/limiter and
gate/expander, a four band parametric equalizer which is assignable to the dynamics sidechain, variable processing order
as well as input and output gain adjustment and phase inversion.
Stereo Bus Compressor
The Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in is a stereo version of the legendary centre section stereo bus compressor found on the
XL 9000 K Series console. It provides high quality stereo compression, giving you critical control over the dynamic range of
audio signals.
Uses may include inserting the bus compressor over a stereo mix which has the effect of ‘gluing’ the mix together whilst still
maintaining a big sound. The dynamics of drum overheads or whole drum kits can be controlled very effectively with the bus
compressor. As it is available as either a stereo or mono plug-in the bus compressor can be used for practically any application
that requires superior compression.
X-Comp
X-Comp can deliver the transparent audio finesse of a mastering grade stereo compressor or be driven to inject character and
raw power to rival the SSL Listen Mic Compressor. In X-Comp we haven’t just modelled a particular compressor, but have
provided a set of features and controls that allow the emulation of many vintage and modern compression designs based on
a well loved SSL feed forward compressor algorithm.
Key Features
• Dual symmetrical knee design allows detailed shaping of the compression characteristic
• Advanced side chain architecture using 1st order filters delivers user friendly Frequency Dependant Parallel Compression
• Amplitude Histogram and Gain Reduction history displays provide advanced real time pre/post signal analysis
• Max Gain Reduction control provides genuine vintage compressor characteristics
• Intuitive user interface with drag and move graphic, mouse wheel and numeric editing
• A/B facility for instant comparison of two different compression set ups
• Proprietary preset management functions providing compatibility between all DAW platforms
• Global latency free bypass
• Superb mastering grade audio quality delivered by Duende’s 64-bit floating point engine
• Preset library based on settings used by some of the worlds top mixing engineers
X-EQ
X-EQ is a versatile and comprehensive mastering grade parametric EQ plug-in built from the ground up for Duende. It has an
unprecedented clarity, smoothness, and excellent high-frequency response. A total of 10 EQ bands are provided, split into
dedicated HP and LP filters, LF and HF shelves and 6 bell bands. A Parallel EQ mode is also provided which recreates the
characteristic sound of an old parallel passive PEQ circuit built with inductors and capacitors.
Key Features
• 10 band fully parametric high quality digital EQ
• A total of 16 different filter types: 5 different cut filters, 9 bell shapes, shelving filters and a parallel mode
• Extensive control options including dragable EQ graph nodes, mouse wheel adjustment and numerical data entry
• Extremely low noise and low non-linear distortion filter algorithms resulting in the residual THD+N significantly lower
than 24-bit quantisation noise
• Comprehensive stereo/mono peak (with clip-hold), RMS and dynamic history metering at input and output
• Different bell filter types are all normalised to look identical at +6dB boost allowing for quick comparison between filter
types
• Proprietary preset management functions providing compatibility between all major DAW platforms
• A/B functionality for easy comparison of any two settings
• Individual band bypass
• Global latency free bypass
• Real-time FFT Analyser showing the result of the EQ processing on the audio spectrum
• Superb mastering grade audio quality delivered by Duende’s 64-bit floating point engine
• Preset library based on settings used by some of the worlds top mixing engineers
Vocalstrip
Vocalstrip is a one stop solution for superior vocal processing, with all the tools you need to take your vocal sound into the
major league. Vocalstrip features 4 configurable processing blocks to take care of unwanted artefacts, dynamics and
equalisation and extensive metering and visual feedback give you invaluable information during your work.
Key Features
• Intelligent De-esser
• Intelligent De-ploser
• 3 band EQ
• Compander featuring compression, downwards expansion and output drive
• Extensive visual feedback including a real-time FFT analyser showing the result of the EQ processing on the audio
spectrum
• Complete control over process order
• Extensive control options including mouse wheel adjustment and numerical data entry
• Proprietary preset management functions providing compatibility between all DAW platforms
• A/B functionality for easy comparison of any two settings
• Global latency free bypass
• Superb mastering grade audio quality delivered by Duende’s 64-bit floating point engine

Drumstrip
The Drumstrip plug-in for Duende brings a unique blend of tools to the Duende Native platform, which provides an
unprecedented amount of control over the transient and spectral elements of drum and percussion tracks. Manipulation
which previously may have been time-consuming or impossible with traditional EQ and dynamics processing becomes elegant
and rewarding with SSL Drumstrip.
Key Features
• Transient shaper capable of drastically changing the attack characteristics of rhythmic tracks. An audition mode makes
for easy setup
• Highly controllable Gate featuring both open and close thresholds, attack, hold, release and range control
