Lemur Audio SIMON2 v2.0.22

SIMON The Mastering Equalizer.

The new version of SIMON adds a mathematically perfect model of the OP-AMP from a mastering equalizer, with three L/R matrix modes: EQUAL — both channels share the same harmonic structure; MODERN — each channel carries a subtly different harmonic structure; and VINTAGE — each channel has a distinctly different harmonic structure. It comes as two saturation models — OP-AMP, true to the hardware, and OP-AMP LP (Linear Phase), the same chain with its upper-band phase rotation resolved — alongside DIGITAL, SIMON’s original clean saturation. OP-AMP and OP-AMP LP run in the HQ and ULTRA quality modes for guaranteed quality and cleanliness. We have also modelled further non-linearities that bring dynamics, liveliness and musicality into the whole system — surpassing the hardware original.
