Description
cphn - fetty
Fast, punchy FET-style compression for Ableton Live.
cphn - fetty is a Max for Live compressor/limiter built around the familiar behavior of aggressive FET dynamics: fast grab, forward tone, punch, attitude, and a gain-reduction meter that makes it easy to see how hard the device is working.
What it does:
- Uses a gen~ DSP core for the compression and tone path.
- Includes a custom JavaScript gain-reduction/VU display.
- Offers ratio behavior inspired by classic FET compressor workflows, including aggressive modes for parallel and effect-style compression.
UI guide:
- Input: drives the compressor harder. More input means more gain reduction and attitude.
- Output: trims level after compression.
- Ratio: choose the compression character, from gentler control to aggressive limiting.
- Color: adds harmonic density and tone.
- Meter: shows gain reduction so you can set compression by feel.
Suggested uses:
- Vocal aggression and presence.
- Drum room crush.
- Parallel drum compression.
- Bass control with edge.
- Any source that needs speed, bite, and forward movement.
