Saturator Tilt EQ Plugin

The LTS Tiltration from Trident Audio Developments is an entirely new design concept, incorporating multiple features from our various brands to bring another unique plugin to the pro audio market.

The Tiltration combines a newly designed Saturation processor, utilizing 8x digital oversampling to provide authentically modeled Trident harmonic distortion on any audio source. Onboard you will find a dual-stage Tonelux Loudness and Tilt EQ for enhanced flexibility. Additionally, we incorporate Sallen-Key variable High & Low Pass filters, with continuous variable slopes of up to 18 dB, all of which come together to provide unparalleled versatility and creative control. A unique VU meter, with switchable 0 VU calibration between -18 or -8 dBFS, assists in achieving optimal recording levels, while a PPM peak monitor detects transient signals and alerts to 0 dBFS clipping. A new double-click function allows you to display and manually enter data into each control knob making your frequency selection, as well as boost and cut, faster and more accurate. Finally, an output gain control and polarity selector round out the feature set, making this plugin a great tool for many different studio applications.

USES:
The Tiltration can be used in countless applications, from adding lush harmonics to your digital tracks for added warmth or even to add distortion to your guitar, bass, or vocal tracks for an analog effect. The variable-slope high and low pass filters add further control, helping to create completely different sounds and musical tones. Adding the dual-mode Tilt and Loudness EQ can add sparkle to any dull tracks easily with just one turn of a knob!

Every feature on the Tiltration has a bypass control that allows you to use each feature independently and quickly allows you to audition your changes, or bypass those you do not want to use.

For those who already have our Trident CB-9066 and Series 80B plugins, adding the TILTRATION adds another dimension when used in tandem with the EQs by adding harmonics and advanced tone-shaping, giving you the ultimate EQ chain.

Other uses are:

  • Smoothing out vocal tracks
  • Adding crunch or distortion to guitars or other sources
  • Adding analog warmth to an entire mix or mastering project
  • Precision equalizing and tone shaping with easy quick data entry
  • Eliminating unwanted noise
  • Adding sparkle to a dull guitar track due to old strings
  • Adding character to electronic instruments or parts


Trident Audio Developments Plugin software models make an impressive addition to any digital audio workstation (DAW) application, on either Mac or PC. Available in VST3, AAX, AU (Mac only) formats, and PC Platforms.
Downloaded separately, Mac and PC versions may be installed as a free 7-day trial prior to purchasing and activating a license. A purchased license can be used on up to two systems or activation locations, on either Mac or PC.
The Digital Editions Series Tiltration uses our ground-breaking modeling techniques, and our new AWA (Advanced Wave Analysis), Trident’s proprietary DSP engine.
Taking full advantage of this signal processing technology ensures every Trident Plugin is true to the original brand and provides the most efficient and least CPU demanding Plugins available today, meaning multiple instances of Trident Plugins may be run at any time, with the least possible negative effect on your computer’s performance.

The Trident Digital Edition Series

In today’s recording environments, many in the recording world are working entirely within the digital domain. We believe working in the digital domain should not come at a cost for those who choose to work with some of the most iconic outboard gear in music production history.

With a rich analog recording history of over 50 years, Trident Audio Developments are perfectly suited to offer the new Trident Digital Editions Plugins, which bridge that gap between analog and digital recording, while accurately recreating the historic analog gear of yesterday for the digital domain. The Trident Digital Editions, give those the opportunity to work with the iconic gear that produced so many classic hit records.

GEAR NEWS :: Trident LTS Tiltration: Dieses Plug-in kombiniert Saturator und Tilt EQ 16 Aug 2021 by Lyubomir Dobrev

Like the other big console manufacturers, (API, SSL, Neve) Trident doesn’t miss a beat in maintaining its relevance with plug-ins. Back in February, the console maker released its first products in this vein, emulations of its CB9066 and 80B hardware EQs. Trident has just followed up that release with LTS Tiltration – a new concept incorporating old and brand new designs into a formidable “analog mojo” plug-in. READ MORE

About the LTS Tiltration

Vintage Equalisation

The Trident LTS Tiltration delivers the unmistakable character of Tonelux Tilt equalization and Loudness compensation through two independent controls. Additionally, High and Low Pass filters are included to enhance further audio signal flexibility, provided in the form of a closely modeled Sallen-Key filter design with variable frequency (Hz) and a Slope (dB) control. As a result, the LTS Tiltration provides a maximum of 18 dB per octave SLOPE, which can be bypassed in varying degrees, thereby controlling the overall SLOPE rate (the frequency (Hz) can be adjusted likewise).

Each equalization section can be individually bypassed using the sections IN pushbutton switch. Each switch will illuminate with an amber color when the section is set to IN and active. When the switch is disabled and not illuminated, the EQ section is in bypass mode.

Saturation

In addition to the inherent saturation characteristics of the equalization stage, additional harmonic distortion can be added if desired by using the Saturation control, simulating a “driving” effect on the Plugin without the need to increase the level of incoming audio signals manually. Use this control to experiment with the addition of lush, non-linear harmonics to any audio source. Saturation enhancement can be engaged using the sections IN pushbutton switch. When enabled, the switch will illuminate with an amber color; when disabled and not illuminated, the additional Saturation circuit is bypassed.

Output

A discrete output gain feature allows precise control over the audio level leaving the LTS Tiltration; refer to the VU and/or PPM meters (if enabled) to tweak the output to the desired level. Additionally, the polarity of the audio signal can be inverted if required by toggling the accompanying switch: when illuminated with an amber color, polarity is inverted.  

Metering

The LTS Tiltration includes two methods for monitoring the output signal of the Plugin: a classic VU-style meter for time-averaged signal level display and a PPM LED ladder meter for peak monitoring and transient signal detection. Calibration of the VU meter can be toggled between -8 dBFS or -18 dBFS at 0 VU by using the 0 VU CALIBRATION radio buttons located above the meter. Additionally, metering can be enabled or disabled completely via the METERING pushbutton: when illuminated (ON) with an amber color, metering is enabled.*

*Disabling the metering function may improve older systems or legacy PC/Mac hardware.
