Full-band / multiband dynamics

PARALLAX provides a full-band parent engine and optional two-, three- or four-band processing. Local band/channel overrides preserve a common starting point while allowing targeted changes.

Inherited band controls

Edit the parent globally or override selected bands and L/R or M/S channels. Restore inheritance without rebuilding the setup.

Detector and sidechain

Peak/RMS weighting, persistence, filtering, cohesion and stereo linking shape detection. External sidechain requires a host that exposes it.

Colour and output

Broadband colour follows recombination. Makeup, parallel mix, clipping and optional true-peak protection have separate roles.

Comparison tools

Band solo, detector listen, aligned Delta and temporary Level Match help assess the processing.

Working with PARALLAX

Set the full-band engine first. Split into bands only where the signal needs different behaviour, then override the selected controls and compare with Level Match.

macOS 11.0 is the compiled minimum target. Compatibility with every host and OS combination is not established.

Colour is a broadband stage after recombination, not a separate distortion processor in every band.

Protection is off in Init. When enabled, it also contains bypass and diagnostic output.
