To prevent clipping, PUNISH also features a Limiter at the end of the chain. Set the EQ to Pre or Post to affect highs and lows before the Comp, Sat, and Transient…or after. The EQ module is basic but powerful, offering lift of the high and low frequencies. The module also features Hold control to determine length of the attack. Providing control over the attack, sustain, and output gain, PUNISH’s Transient shaping module enables users to bring stronger transients back into the signal after saturating the sound. With a classic broadcast mic-pre (Vintage), a chunky harmonic saturation (Modern), and a fat tube saturation (Tube), the PUNISH Saturation module can add a bit of grit to a track, or drive the whole thing into overload.

The PUNISH Saturation module also features three different models, all with their own unique brand of warmth, drive, and character. The plugin features a smooth Class A-style Buss Compressor (Console), an aggressive, fat sound with a classic “knee” (Modern), and a warm vintage limiting amplifier-style (Classic). With three distinct compression models, the PUNISH Compressor offers a wide dynamic range, topped off with that classic analog warmth. Simply set your ranges, and dial in the devastation. And at the heart of it all is the global PUNISH Knob. Chain the modules together to get that signature PUNISH sound, or isolate them to experience each dynamic effect on its own. Modeled after Heavyocity’s custom analog signal chains, PUNISH gives you control over Compression, Saturation, Transients, EQ, and Limiting. It’s the same PUNISH effect that you know and love, as featured in Heavyocity’s award-winning line of virtual instruments, now in VST/AU/AAX plugin format. From subtle warmth to extreme drive and compression, PUNISH injects character and edge into any mix or instrument track.
