From the Elysia website:
“Its main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle is quite similar to a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting around a variable center frequency, the high frequencies are boosted whereas the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa) at the same time.”

Limitations of the freebie:

  • No Multi-mono support
  • No Session-restore functionality (you have to re-set it everytime you open a session)
  • No Save-and-restore functionality (can’t save presets)
  • No Automation

All of these limited features of the free version are available in the full, paid version, which at the price ($79) is really worth it. It still works great as the demo, though, which is why it is listed here.

Flux Bittersweet II

From the Flux website:

“Turning the central button on the sweet side, decreases the transients amplitude. On the bitter side, the transients amplitude is magnified. Bitter-Sweet also features a control for the signal to be processed. When the main position is engaged, the process affects the stereo signal. If Center is engaged, only the M signal of the internal MS matrix is processed. If stereo is selected, only the S signal from the MS matrix is processed. Three transient detection modes can be selected. A varying period of integration for transients can be accessed. A Link function is available to compensate the output gain regarding the transient processing setting.”
