ADD SMACK, PUNCH, BODY, AND AIR
Take control of your mix with Articulate, the next generation envelope shaper that makes fixing dynamics as
simple as using an EQ. More than a transient shaper, Articulate separates your audio into four bands: Attack,
Decay, Sustain, and Release. By dialing in the desired level on the corresponding fader, you can instantly
add Smack, Punch, Body, and Air to any source.

Every sound contains four essential elements...
Four elements. Four sliders. Infinite control. Articulate.
Sidechain-Triggering
Shape one sound with another. Articulate’s Sidechain mode ducks transients and reshapes envelopes based on an external input—tighten bass with a kick, clean up reverb tails, or add groove without crushing dynamics. A smarter way to control the mix.


Anthony Baldino
(Tenet, Transformers: Rise of the Beast, The Mandalorian)
“I'm using multiple instances in every session.
Truly a magic plugin.”

Sebastian Morton
(Sting, Seal, Donna Summer, Iron Man 2)
“I’ve always dreamed of having ADSR-style envelopes for any audio source—amazing!.”

Theodore Shapiro
(Composer: Severance, Yellow Jackets, Tropic Thunder)
"This is really cool!
Love it for drums."

Justin Meldal-Johnsen
(Beck, NIN, M83, Air, St. Vincent)
"I’ve found my favorite tool for designing transients and envelopes. It gives you more control, a great sonic character, and an intuitive interface. Highly recommended."

TECHNOLOGY
Articulate combines two areas of research that are very close to our hearts here at Newfangled Audio. We've spent 10 years researching the best ways to measure the amplitude envelope of an audio signal. One might think it's a trivial problem, but getting a very accurate measure that is both fast and stable is quite difficult. With this highly accurate envelope detector in hand we applied a good measure of psychoacoustic understanding to separate the audio signal into elements that are important to how we, as humans, experience sound. This research is ongoing, but we were so pleased with the results of these experiments we wanted to share this product now.
