You sample an analogue processor by first getting the exact sound you want to capture and then letting Replicator pass a whole set of signals through it. Replicator analyses the signal path at high and low levels and can then simulate the effect by means of the unique patented dynamic convolution algorithm which re-creates the frequency and phase response of the original processor as well as the way it changes when you drive it harder.

Replicator also analyses the way compressor gain reduction works and can simulate a complete set of gain curves of a compressor so you can have full control over the simulation later. Samples are stored on the internal hard disk. No computer is necessary to make Replicator work. Samples may be uploaded or downloaded by MIDI or USB to a suitably equipped computer for session archiving or for transfer over the internet or to other users. Replicator also provides additional digital EQ, compression and “after effects” to complete the sound processing package.

In addition to samples of your favourite equipment Replicator also offers Classic EQs which are factory made multi-sampled effects combined from many hundreds of individual samples of EQ units and integrated with a graphical control panel to offer the sound and function of popular analogue equalisers.
