Console Frequency Response: Accurately sampled from 10 Hz to 96 kHz using KIT’s proprietary Full Range Modeling Technology (FRM). Auto-Gain: Enhances usability as you add gain on the mic pre. The fader level will adjust the output automatically to maintain dB level. Continuous Gain: Optionally removes the notched movement of the mic pre gain, giving you more control of gain level. EQ Selection: Choose between 3 different EQ's available on the API Legacy Console. Master Buss: Replicates the unique tone and effect of an API master buss amp, inspired by Blackbird's API Legacy console master channel. Analog Hum: Sets the level of ~60Hz noise applied to the signal. Oversampling: Adjust oversampling from Low, Medium, or High, for higher definition or to relieve CPU of intensive processing and aliasing. Tooltips: Displays the amount of gain (+/-) on each EQ band (to the nearest tenth of a dB), and percentage for the Mic Pre. Resizable 3D GUI: You can click and drag the bottom right corner to change the size of the plugin, or select set sizes from the options menu. Fader Color: You can change the color of the fader between black, silver, red, blue, and teal. Includes: 100+ Custom Pro Presets.

Different by Design.

BB N105 is the only channel strip plugin of its kind, modeled after the only analog console of its kind — Blackbird Studio's iconic Neve 8078.

This highly-modified console has not only birthed countless hits but also holds some of the most legendary sonics in the history of recorded music. Now it's yours forever in powerful plugin form.

Our engineers developed a next-gen proprietary sampling method that models analog hardware with top notch depth, detail, and clarity.
