A colourful FET-style compressor built around a tempo-synchronised Golden Ratio timing engine and a tube-inspired saturation stage
Original price was: $69.90.$19.90Current price is: $19.90.
Rather than treating attack and release as independent controls, Alchemist uses the Golden Ratio to link its envelope behaviour, creating compression that moves with the track while retaining a consistent relationship between its timings.
From subtle movement to explosive parallel compression, Alchemist is designed to be pushed, transforming sterile or inert sources without losing the character that made them worth recording.
Inspired by the attitude of classic FET compression but rebuilt around the Golden Ratio, Alchemist is designed for producers and engineers who want compression to create movement, colour and excitement rather than simply control level. Its asymmetrical approach to dynamics allows audio to move and breathe in a unique and expressive way, bringing the principles of art and proportion into the dynamics toolbox.
Sets when compression begins
Selects compression ratios at successive powers of φ
Flips the φ relationship between Attack and Release
Locks Timing to tempo-derived divisions
Sets Attack; Release follows automatically using φ

The Q slider increases or decreases the depth and breadth of the Match EQ response.
Pulling the slider down creates softer, broader curves, while pushing it up creates a more aggressive and resonant response.

“I recently got my hands on constructivist and was able to start shaping drums with it really quickly! The controls are extremely self explanatory and musical too. The eq match feature is an amazing addition and helps to get a vibe going instantly.”
