- Compressor (Native)
Native Compressor is K2K's full-featured dynamics processor — threshold/ratio/attack/release/knee/makeup with sidechain HPF, peak/RMS detection, and four… - Limiter (Native)
A limiter is essentially a compressor with infinite ratio and a fast attack — anything that tries to exceed the ceiling gets clamped down hard. - Gate (Native)
Native Gate is the inverse of the compressor — silences (or attenuates) signal below threshold rather than clamping signal above it. - Expander (Native)
Expansion is the gentler cousin of gating. - Dynamics
Volume control with a brain. - Spectral Compressor
Spectral dynamics nodes are unique to K2K's domain: they operate on the spectral data directly, frame-by-frame, with independent control over each frequency… - Spectral Expander
A spectral expander pushes down quiet frequencies per frame, rather than pushing down quiet moments. - Spectral Gate
Spectral gating reduces noise band-by-band rather than time-by-time. - Spectral Ducker — Per-frequency-band sidechain ducking
Ducking pulls one signal's level down in response to another. - Spectral Limiter — Per-frequency-band brickwall limiter
A spectral limiter clamps peaks per frequency band rather than across the whole signal. - Spectral Transient Shaper
Most transient shapers are broadband: they detect transients across the whole signal and boost or cut them globally. - Spectral Gating
Cross-spectral gating uses one signal's spectrum to control another's.
