SOL-2
Dynamics Shaper
Shape impact, body and control with one focused dynamics tool.
Originally developed for guitar, SOL-2 now brings musical transient shaping, flexible compression and stereo-aware mastering control to guitars, keys, vocals, drums and more.
Transient shaping, full-range compression and nuance control for tracks.
Originally developed for guitar, SOL-2 is now a flexible track-focused dynamics processor for guitars, bass, drums, piano, synths and more. Shape the feel, movement and definition of a sound without relying on heavy EQ or excessive processing.
ONE PROCESSOR, THREE MUSICAL STAGES
More definition when you need it. More control when you do not.
SOL-2 is designed around the way musicians actually hear dynamics: the initial hit, the sustained body and the final balance. Its controls are quick to learn, but precise enough for detailed production work.
Shape the performance, not just the level.
SOL-2 combines transient shaping and full-range compression in a simple, direct workflow. Bring out or soften the initial movement of a sound, then control its overall density, movement and dynamic stability with the Compressor section.
Bring the front forward
Shape attack with Amount, Drive, Focus and Sensitivity. Add pick definition, restore impact or smooth an overly sharp performance without reaching for a conventional compressor.
Shape attack and detail
Use Amount, Drive, Focus and Sensitivity to bring out pick attack, drum hits, piano articulation, pluck definition or the front edge of a sound.
Control with character
Modern delivers a clean, responsive VCA-style sound. Vintage adds a more coloured, Dyna Comp-inspired response with fuller compression character.
Full-range control with character
Control the full signal with subtle leveling, added density and stable placement. Modern is clean and responsive; Vintage adds a more coloured, Dyna Comp-inspired response.
Finish with confidence
