Revolutionary Auto-Gain Technology
Cryptone's intelligent auto-gain is a game-changer. No more volume jumps
when tweaking settings. No more compensating manually. Cryptone analyzes input and output
levels in real-time and applies transparent gain compensation automatically.
Drive it hard. Switch models. Crank the tone. The level stays consistent.
- Real-time input/output level analysis
- Transparent automatic gain compensation
- Consistent levels across all settings
- Focus on tone, not volume balancing
- Proprietary technology -- unique to Cryptone

Three Eras of Saturation
96kHz neural models trained on legendary analog gear
Model A
Op-amp saturation circuit captured at the moment of perfect harmonic bloom. Adds deep, controlled weight to kick drums, bass, and low-end heavy material. The neural network preserves the complex asymmetrical clipping and bass harmonics that made classic op-amp consoles legendary.
Model B
Tube pentode distortion across the entire frequency spectrum. Full-range analog glue with balanced harmonic enhancement. Perfect for mix bus processing, vocals, guitars, and synths that need cohesive warmth and presence without shifting tonal balance.
Model C
Authentic Marinair transformer captures delivering silky high-frequency character. Adds shimmer, air, and presence while smoothing harsh digital transients. The sound of vintage British consoles -- that magical top-end that sits perfectly in dense mixes.
Intelligent Auto-Oversampling
96kHz neural models with automatic sample rate management
96kHz Neural Engine
Each model is a neural snapshot of real analog gear trained at 96kHz,
replicating every nuance -- intermodulation distortion, frequency-dependent saturation,
and the dynamic response that makes analog musical.
Cryptone's automatic oversampling system intelligently activates when
your session runs below 96kHz, ensuring the models always operate at their trained
sample rate for minimal aliasing and maximum authenticity.
- Neural models trained at 96kHz sample rate
- Automatic oversampling below 96kHz sessions
- Minimal aliasing -- maximum analog character
- Captures intermodulation distortion nuances
- Frequency-dependent saturation behavior
Thrust & Tone
Thrust Control
Cryptone's Thrust compressor delivers fast, punchy dynamics with VCA-style compression characteristics. Position before saturation for aggressive dynamic control, or after for transparent glue.
- Pre or Post Drive routing options
- 0.3ms lightning-fast attack for transient punch
- Auto-Release adapts to your material
- 4:1 Ratio -- aggressive yet musical
- VCA topology for clean, punchy compression
Three Tone Shaping Curves
Forget learning complex EQ curves. Cryptone gives you three instantly musical
analog-modeled tone shapes:
Silk Mode: Classic analog console EQ curves with legendary
simultaneous low boost and cut. Adds 800Hz midrange scoop and 16kHz air shelf.
Presence Mode: Focused 3-4kHz boost cuts through dense mixes.
Intelligent 2kHz dip removes boxiness.
Dark Mode: Authentic tape machine characteristics -- 80Hz bump,
gentle high-frequency rolloff, and tape-style compression.
- Silk -- classic analog console shimmer
- Presence -- exciter-style clarity and cut-through
- Dark -- authentic tape machine character
Spatial Control
Subtle stereo width enhancement inspired by legendary analog consoles. Creates the three-dimensional soundstage of analog consoles without artificial widening artifacts.
- Centers bass (<200Hz) for mono compatibility
- Gently expands highs with phase-coherent decorrelation
- No phase issues or shifting -- natural, silky width
- Perfect for vocals, guitars, mix bus, and spatial enhancement
- Console-style three-dimensional soundstage
