Mixland released Rubber Band Compressor

Mixland released Rubber Band Compressor, a bizarre and innovative new VCA-style audio compressor that simulates the compression effects and physical response of pushing audio signal into a theoretical rubber band (with exponential, dual-stage resistance). The signal pushes into the rubber band and then snaps back aggressively based on the tension, timing, and amount chosen by the user. The user interface features adjustable hands that can pull the rubber band tighter or looser into 3 different tension positions, and the rubber band represents gain reduction as it swoops, wiggles, pushes, and pulls downward according to the amount of SNAP applied. The resulting sounds range from bouncy to snappy, transparent to pumpy and explosive!
