Experience the Classic Urei Sound with MODEL-27
In the world of audio processing, there are legends whose names have become synonymous with quality and professionalism. One such legend is Urei and their iconic hardware equalizers. Now, thanks to developer Samsara Cycle Audio, a piece of this history is coming to life in digital form — introducing the MODEL-27 plugin.
MODEL-27 is not just another graphic equalizer. It’s a meticulously modeled plugin based on the circuitry and philosophy of the famous Urei Model 539 graphic equalizer. The original Urei 539 gained popularity for its precision, reliability, and ability to delicately adjust the frequency balance, often used for final “room” sound correction or system tuning. MODEL-27 brings this unique experience to your digital studio (DAW), allowing you to apply its characteristic sound and functionality to your tracks.
Designed with an emphasis on recreating the analog “feel,” MODEL-27 offers an intuitive interface that mimics the classic hardware device. Each slider corresponds to a specific fixed frequency, giving you direct control over the amplitude-frequency response of your audio material. This makes it an ideal tool for both quick corrections and more subtle tone shaping.
Features and Benefits of MODEL-27
The MODEL-27 plugin from Samsara Cycle Audio has a number of key features that make it a valuable addition to the arsenal of any sound engineer or musician:
- Historical Accuracy: Emulation of one of the most respected graphic equalizers in audio history — the Urei Model 539. This means gaining access to the same type of processing that was used on many classic recordings.
- “Room” Correction: Perfectly suited for delicate equalization of the frequency response of tracks or mixes, taking into account the acoustic characteristics of the room (hence the term “room graphic equalizer”). This can be especially useful for mastering or equalizing sound in complex acoustic conditions.
- Simple and Intuitive Interface: A graphic equalizer with fixed frequency bands offers a quick and intuitive way to make changes, unlike parametric equalizers. You see the overall curve and immediately understand how you are affecting the sound.
- Flexibility of Application: Although the original was often used for system tuning, MODEL-27 performs excellently on individual instruments, buses, or the master bus, adding a unique character and control.
- Native Formats: Availability in VST format makes it compatible with the vast majority of modern digital audio workstations (DAWs) on the Windows operating system (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions).
Who is MODEL-27 for?
MODEL-27 will be a useful tool for a wide range of users:
Musicians and Producers:
Use it to shape the timbre of instruments, buses (e.g., drums or vocals), or add it to the master bus for final “polishing” of the mix with the characteristic flavor of classic analog equipment.
Sound Engineers (Mixing & Mastering):
This plugin will be a valuable addition for precise frequency correction, mix equalization, or adding analog character during mastering. Its “room” capabilities can help compensate for the shortcomings of the monitoring environment or final playback.
Analog Sound Enthusiasts:
If you appreciate the sound of vintage equipment and want to integrate its character into your digital projects, MODEL-27 offers a great opportunity to get a taste of the Urei classic without having to purchase or maintain expensive hardware.
