Overview

The iconic color of the flagship API analog console with expanded EQ.

The API Vision Channel Strip plug-in artfully captures the API desks that have shaped hit albums with unmistakable punch, presence and color for over 50 years. The updated Vision Channel Strip gives you authentic API tone with switchable EQ modules and an expertly modeled output section, plus all the critical recording and mixing functions of API's iconic compression, gating and filter modules.

Sculpt With Parametric and New Graphic EQs

With a click of the new EQ Type button, the API Vision Channel Strip lets you choose between the revered 550L 4-band parametric EQ and API's famous 560L series 10-band graphic EQ. The new 560L EQ emulation captures the complex band interactions and musical filter amp distortions of API's coveted hardware, letting you quickly sweeten and shape guitars, add aggression to drums, and push vocals forward with analog punch, low-end transparency and ultratight imaging.

Instant Magic: The 212L Preamp With Unison Technology

The API Vision Channel Strip gets even better with Apollo interfaces, thanks to Unison mic preamp technology. Unison gives you all the important impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and circuit behaviors of API's iconic 212L preamp via bidirectional control and communication between the software and your Apollo's mic preamps. Plus, you get the same features found in API's flagship Vision Console, including a Mic/Line switch, dedicated cut filter and –6dB line pad.

Shape Dynamics With the 225L Compressor

A versatile compressor teaming with character, the 225L thrives on any instrument, in any genre—from a single track to an entire mix. Plus, use selectable “New” and “Old” functions for two delicious brands of compression, from mild to severe.

Get Creative With API Gate/Expander and Filters

The ultrafast 235L Noise Gate/Expander lets you easily shape ambience and attack on individual sources like kick drums or bass synth, and also clamp down on noisy drum kit rattles and gnarly guitar amp noise. Plus, the passive, fully sweepable 215L's Hi and Lo pass filters are perfect for broad stroke EQ sculpting, letting you expertly craft your source material, while preserving its original tone.
