As only thirteen A-Range consoles were ever made, it remains a holy grail for sound engineers and producers around the world that hope to create works of art equal to those that were originally recorded on the A-Range — David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Queen, Elton John, the list goes on...\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSoftube Trident A-Range\u003c\/span\u003e plug-in is the first and only native and TDM plug-in that has been fully endorsed by original designer Malcolm Toft and Trident Audio.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The plug-in is a model of a channel on one of the original 13 Trident A-Range consoles. We chose to model channel 15 from the console at Sweet Silence Studio 'B' in Denmark, producer Flemming Rasmussen's favorite channel for recording lead vocals. Flemming also used it for the solo and rhythm guitars on Metallica's \"Ride The Lightning\" and \"Master of Puppets\", and Ritchie Blackmore's guitar on the Rainbow albums \"Difficult to Cure\" and \"Bent out of Shape\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The A-Range channel features four bands of equalization and high and low pass filters. The sound of the bands is often referred to as \"colorful\" and \"musical\". When running a hot enough signal through the original unit and boosting the bands, it is possible to get it to distort, the result is a hairy and effective saturation that is just right in some situations, and just wrong in others!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eIn Short\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated together with original designer Malcolm Toft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach and every component carefully modeled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame sweet sounding EQ filters that made the original legendary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteraction between the different bands, making this equalizer one of its kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturation control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery CPU friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eControls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAuthentic User Interface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An authentic aubergine color (well, as good as it gets on a computer screen...) and the exact same controls as the real thing (okay, we added the Saturation and the Output volume).

Instead of using an input volume to drive the signal, we chose to use a Saturation knob instead — so that you don't have to compensate the Output volume all the time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Just set the Saturation to OFF if you don't need it, which will also make the native version more CPU efficient.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLow and High Pass filters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The ultimate problem solver.
