Discover New Sounds with Klanghelm IVGI
The IVGI plugin from Klanghelm is a powerful and versatile saturation tool that allows you to add warmth, character, and aggression to your audio materials. Created with a love for detail and an understanding of the needs of modern musicians and sound engineers, IVGI is capable of transforming your sound, regardless of whether you are looking for subtle analog saturation or dirty, dense distortion.
Flexibility and Versatility
One of the main advantages of IVGI is its incredible flexibility. This plugin is not limited to one type of saturation. It can provide:
- Soft and delicate saturation: Ideal for use on the master bus to add subtle compression and glue the mix together, giving it an analog feel.
- Dense and dirty distortion: Perfect for “revitalizing” individual tracks such as guitars, bass, or synthesizers, adding character, punch, and aggression.
IVGI allows you to easily switch between these modes, opening up a wide range of sound shaping possibilities.
Unique Controls
IVGI stands out among other saturation plugins thanks to its unique set of controls that allow you to manipulate the character of saturation with high precision:
- Drive: Controls the input signal level fed to the saturation circuit, determining the intensity of the effect.
- SYM MIX (ASYM MIX): A unique control that allows you to change the signal symmetry practically without affecting the harmonic content. Usually, asymmetry increases even harmonics, but in IVGI it makes the negative part of the signal “cleaner.” This preserves the dynamic structure of the source and gives a more transparent result. Think of ASYM MIX as a transparency control.
- Response: Allows you to change the frequency dependence of saturation. You can make the saturation more pronounced in the low, mid, or high frequencies, or make it uniform across the entire spectrum.
- Output: Allows you to adjust the output signal level after processing to compensate for the increase in loudness caused by saturation, or simply adjust the level.
This set of controls provides unparalleled flexibility in shaping the timbre, allowing you to “sculpt” the exact saturation character that your mix needs.
Calibration and Compatibility
IVGI is internally calibrated to 0VU = -18dBFS, which is a common standard in digital audio and helps to achieve the optimal saturation level and preserve headroom. The plugin is available in VST and AU formats and is compatible with Windows (64-bit) and macOS operating systems.
Whether you’re working on recording, mixing, or mastering, Klanghelm IVGI will become a valuable addition to your arsenal of audio tools. Its intuitive interface combined with a powerful and flexible sound makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced professionals. Try IVGI and discover how easily you can add life, warmth, and character to your sound.
