The Master Perfection™ Suite:

Pitchcraft
A real-time pitch correction/transposition plug-in that fixes out-of-tune vocals or other single voice instruments easily and with minimal artifacts, thanks to a powerful new pitch-shifting algorithm. Using other combinations of controls, humorous, eerie, and even supernatural effects can be obtained, making PitchCraft a great sound design tool as well.

Reveal
Seven powerful analysis tools in a single plug-in interface — Oscilloscope, Peak and RMS Power History, Spectrogram, Pan Power, Spectral Analysis, Lissajous Phase Scope and Peak and RMS Level Meters. An &ampquotall" view displays every tool in a single window. Additionally, users can any tool as desired via a tab style interface, or simply click on a tool to expand its view.

SuperFreq
A mastering-quality 4, 6, 8 & 10-band parametric graphic equalizer that includes everything for professional caliber equalization, including -18dB to +18dB Gain Values 0.1 to 30 &ampquotQ" (bandwidth) values sweepable frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz, individual band bypass buttons 24dB stereo input/output meters and filters including Peak, Notch, High Shelf, Low Shelf, High Cut, and Low Cut.

Repli-Q
Repli-Q's primary function is to match the EQ of one source to another target signal, but the flexibility offered in the plug in allows even more. By learning the EQ profiles of the source and target signal, Repli-Q allows the degree of matching and smoothing to be manipulated.

Each band may be solo'd and/or bypassed individually, and a convenient &ampquotauto gain" button compensates for loudness variations. A variable &ampquotdigital ceiling" slider controls the clipping headroom of the integrated soft clip function.

GateEx
A new professional quality Gate/Expander plug-in. Featuring waveform and graph displays and a suite of advanced parameter controls, GateEx effectively removes signals below an assignable threshold while the integrated downward expander helps reduce residual unwanted content.
