The OCELOT Series: High-Grade Essentials from an Analog DSP Legend

In an ever-growing sea of plugins, a select few stand out as essential tools you rely on in every session. These indispensable gems enhance your workflow with their powerful features and intuitive user interfaces, building the core of your personal sound.

The OCELOT Series is made up of four exceptional-sounding processing plugins designed to cover exactly these kind of key mixing tasks: cutting-edge low CPU, zero or low latency studio essentials built with top-notch DSP tech, direct from the mind of Fuse Audio Labs founder and leading analog DSP modelling expert Reimund Dratwa.

Reimund's credits include work on many of the most celebrated analog-modelled plugins and brands in the industry, including ACME, Black Box Analog Design, Black Rooster Audio, Elysia, Millennia, Neold and Vertigo, and the OCELOT plugins bring all of that pedigree to bear in a lean plugin toolkit built for real-world speed that doesn't compromise on raw sound quality and analog authenticity where you want it most.

Features

OCELOT Limiter

  • Adaptive Limiting: Uses advanced psychoacoustic analysis to make smarter decisions about when to limit, ensuring a clean and punchy mix while maximizing loudness.
  • Intelligent Level Control: Helps push levels higher without the artifacts typical of traditional limiters.
  • Soft Clipper: Reduces the limiter's workload by catching isolated peaks at the start of the processing chain, resulting in a louder output with less pumping and exceptional transparency.
  • True Peak Feature: Ensures precise level control by adhering to the ITU-R BS.1770 standard, preventing inter-sample peaks that could cause distortion.
  • Five Selectable Algorithms: Tailored responses from the limiter and soft clipper for any source material, with fine-tuning options for optimal signal integrity.

OCELOT Clipper

  • Streamlined Loudness Management: A simplified approach to managing loudness without compromising on quality or introducing unwanted artifacts.
  • Advanced Dynamics Control: Provides powerful tone shaping capabilities with separate knee controls for positive and negative signal swings, allowing for precise harmonic sculpting.
  • High Fidelity Sound Quality: Offers pristine results with anti-aliasing options including user-selectable oversampling and true peak mode, while keeping CPU load low.
  • Low Latency: With under 1.5 ms latency, it's effective for both live applications and studio use, ensuring a seamless and responsive workflow.
  • Multi Display Interface: Equipped with an efficient workflow and extended analysis display, including waveform and harmonic spectrum visualization, making loudness tweaks straightforward and accessible.
  • Complementary to OCELOT Limiter: Works in tandem with the OCELOT Limiter, providing a comprehensive toolset for shaping dynamics with precision, suitable for both seasoned professionals and beginners.

OCELOT Upmixer

  • State-of-the-Art Upmixing: Transforms mono sources into vibrant, natural-sounding stereo signals using innovative spectral diffusion technology.
  • Authentic Stereo Creation: Expands soundstage while preserving full mono compatibility, creating a lifelike stereo experience from mono sources.
  • Tone Tuner Feature: Adapts the upmix to the character of any instrument or voice with high and low-pass filters and a switchable diffusion mode for tonal refinement.
  • Phase-Coherent Stereo: Delivers pristine, phase-coherent stereo that stays true to the source, enhancing the listening experience without unwanted artifacts.
  • Intuitive Workflow Integration: Features an intuitive parameter set with real-time feedback through precision level and correlation metering, and a vector scope.
  • Performance-Friendly: Low CPU load and zero latency make it suitable for both studio and live stage use, allowing for seamless and creative workflow.

OCELOT Octaver

  • Dual-Engine Octave Effects: Offers thick octave-down weight and crisp octave-up presence in one streamlined plugin, enhancing kicks, bass, and synths.
  • Tuned Frequency Control: Provides dedicated Tune controls for precise frequency focus of each octave, allowing customization for both low-end and top-end enhancement.
  • Clean Tracking Performance: Uses state-of-the-art detection algorithms for consistent, phase-stable performance on fast transients or complex material.
  • Detailed Visual Feedback: Offers separate level meters for each octave and the output signal, along with a collapsible spectrum view for clear visual feedback.
  • Efficient Workflow Features: Includes octave solo options, smart key shortcuts, and global level control, designed for speed, clarity, and creative workflow.
  • Zero Latency and Minimal CPU Load: Ensures real-time processing with no latency and minimal impact on CPU resources, ideal for demanding production environments.
