Sage Velvet
A Near 1:1 Recreation of a Modern Classic
A Near 1:1 Recreation of a Modern Classic
Sage Velvet may be the first plugin to fully capture the nuances of Analog Equipment. Full of detail and nonlinearities, Sage Velvet is a near-perfect recreation of the hardware that inspired it.
Sage Velvet achieves truly accurate analog emulation. Every detail, nuance, and nonlinearity has been captured with machine learning to create an experience true to the original hardware.
Both Red and Blue circuits have been carefully modeled - with Sage Velvet, you'll achieve the full spectrum of modern transformer-based saturation. The new drive function can push the saturation further than previously possible with the hardware.
In addition to the drive function, a new Emphasis/De-Emphasis filter opens up a new world of harmonic formations and timbres. With auto-compensated Frequency, Gain, and Bandwidth, this may be the best way to introduce the classic emphasis-deemphasis technique.
Sage Velvet's simple but effective image controller provides quick control over the width. The internal HPF excludes processing to the range below the selected frequency - meaning you can achieve an impressive image while keeping your kick and bass driving.
Sage Velvet utilizes dual-channel neural networks to faithfully recreate the original hardware. This ensures extremely accurate emulation far beyond that of traditional plugin emulations; however, this requires high CPU. Sage Velvet pushes the envelope of what's possible 'in-the-box', but may be taxing on older systems. If you're unsure whether your computer can run an instance of Sage Velvet while seamlessly running your session, please try the 14-day trial before making a purchase. For the best sonic results, use a 48kHz sampling rate to match the sampling rate of the neural models.

I use this on the masterbus. While it doesn’t drastically alter the sound, it adds harmonics, saturation, and other elements that result in a really great tone. Although Sage Audio plugins offer high sound quality, it’s a shame they don’t come with any presets. Also, it’s difficult to find the sales page for these products; please provide a link to the official website.
