Frequency Carving & Dynamic DuckingPaid

Duck 2 serves as a sophisticated volume-shaping tool that replaces traditional sidechain compression with custom-drawn envelopes. It features a new three-band system for independent frequency control and supports flexible triggering via MIDI, audio sidechain inputs, or internal beat-synced LFOs. The redesigned interface is fully resizable and includes advanced functions like randomisation, wave-to-envelope conversion, and deep rhythmic sequencing capabilities.
