PreSonus Fat Channel XT.
Loaded with award-winning processors and vintage-modeled compressors and EQs, PreSonus Fat Channel XT is a complete channel strip plug-in ideal for musicians, songwriters, mixers, and producers. It is compatible with Studio One Prime 4.6 or later, as well as other Mac-/Windows-based DAWs that support AAX, Audio Units, or VST3 plug-in formats, making it suitable for a broad range of music production setups.
Fat Channel XT packs five processors—EQ, compressor, limiter, gate/expander, and high-pass filter—into a rack-style interface, providing fast access to a host of useful audio-enhancing functions. With three compressor models and three EQ models available for selection, Fat Channel XT can deliver the sounds of StudioLive, tube, and vintage hardware, among others. Additionally, the plug-in offers on/off switches per processor for easy bypassing and comparative listening, along with switchable EQ and compressor positioning.
Bigger is Better
Originally designed for integrated compatibility between Studio One and StudioLive mixers, Fat Channel XT brings award-winning StudioLive processors and State Space models of vintage EQs and compressors to your DAW of choice. It is the ultimate channel strip for any input or bus, featuring a variable high-pass filter, gate/expander, compressor, EQ, and limiter in one singular plug-in.
In addition to the classic StudioLive compressor and EQ modules, you get two State Space modeled compressors and EQs recreated from coveted vintage studio gear. Need more virtual analog goodness? Fat Channel XT can be expanded with any or all of the eight compressor and seven EQ models in the Fat Channel Plug-In Collection.
The Fatter Channel
PreSonus developers are at the forefront of State Space Modeling technology, which they utilized to enhance Fat Channel XT by adding hybrid State Space models of vintage compressors and EQs. After installation, you'll find three compressor models complete with Key Listen functions, plus three EQ models inside Fat Channel XT. The compressor and EQ order can be reversed for precise sound sculpting, and each processor can be disabled or enabled individually. If you require more virtual vintage options, PreSonus offers eight additional compressor models and seven additional EQ models as add-ons.
State of the Art
The vintage compressors and EQs in Fat Channel XT are meticulously recreated from the original analog circuits using State Space Modeling technology. This technology also powers the Ampire amp models, Channel Strip Collection plug-ins, and the Studio One Console Shaper, ensuring that the nuanced, variable sonic character of analog survives its transition to the digital realm.
