Testimonial Thank you again for your products.  With every new project I find new ways to get the sounds I want with your tools.  Voxengo VSTs are truly part of my workhorse arsenal. The latest example is LFMax and LFPunch.  At first I thought they were nice enough to buy, but I didn't use them much until recently.  In fact, I had almost considered giving them up.  But recently I sat down with the tools to really see what they're made of -- and that's when I came to really discover their potential in ALL my mixes! With a clever combination of Crunchessor for sidechaining, LFMax, and LFPunch for all tracks with low-frequency content, my tracks sound ten times better.  I had always thought 'low end will always be sloppy, there's no way to make it sound good'.  I was wrong! I was always trying to repair slop in the midrange and unbalanced highs with simple EQ, but with LFMax, LFPunch, and Crunchessor, I'm able to tame the low-end and get the sort of solid, even response I've wanted in a wide range of listening conditions -- headphones, studio monitors, and consumer systems with a wide array of subwoofer quality, tone, and loudness "features".

Voxengo LF-Punch PC VST plug-in is an FX processor for music and sounds where low-frequency thump and punch are most welcome, and where distortion is applied specifically to bring the bass kicks to life.

LF-Punch is a pretty specific FX not suitable for everything, but we felt like there is a lack of such effects specially designed for serious contemporary music producers.

In the essence, LF-Punch is able to give you the elements of low-frequency FX usually associated with tape machines thus giving you a convenient tool to apply smooth punch to your tracks and sounds whenever you need it.

LF-Punch plug-in dynamically emphasizes selected center bass frequency, performs adjustable amount of phase-shifting and then applies smooth distortion.  Optional compression can then be applied to the resulting sound.  Note that LF-Punch first splits the broad-band signal into low- and high-frequency bands and applies FX to the lower band only.

This FX can be used with a wide range of program material: various drum tracks, bass tracks, contemporary music mixes: rap, trance, club music; even rock music can benefit from LF-Punch's low frequency adjustments.

Version 1.4, 14-sep-2007
Access violation error on systems with >2GB memory solved.

Version 1.3.1, 26-apr-2007
Fixed crackles and a high CPU load when Center freq value is changed.

Version 1.3, 14-nov-2005
"LF Mono" switch implemented.  When it is enabled, low-frequency band which is being processed will be converted to mono before processing takes place.

Version 1.2, 15-aug-2005
"Hi Cut" parameter implemented.  This parameter filters out higher harmonics in the processed low-frequency signal.

Version 1.1, 24-jun-2005

• Denormal problem fixed.
• Phase control behavior fixed - its effect should be much more apparent now.

Version 1.0, 16-may-2005
Initial release.

Version 0.9.1, 26-apr-2005
Alpha release.
