Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR Kotelnikov GE v.1.6.6 for WiN

TDR Kotelnikov is a wideband dynamics processor that combines high-precision dynamic range control with wide musical possibilities. As the successor to the famous TDR Feedback Compressor product line, Kotelnikov inherits several unique features such as a proven control scheme, individual control of peak and RMS attenuation, an intuitive user interface and powerful, modern, high-precision algorithms.

With an audio signal that is best described as “unnoticeable”, Kotelnikov can significantly change the dynamic range while carefully preserving the original tone, timbre and expressiveness of the musical signal. This makes it ideal for stereo bus compression, as well as other important tasks.

About the version

The Gentleman’s Edition (GE) includes several improvements over the standard version. The most obvious are intuitive access to various volume leveling workflows, the ability to set the gain based on frequency, and a powerful side-chain high-pass filter that provides continuous slope and frequency adjustment. Yin/Yang functions allow you to control the harmonic pattern that occurs during compression, and a “crazy” quality mode further increases the precision of the processing.

Kotelnikov does not try to imitate any previously existing device. The concept is a proud digital processor, it is original!

Main technical characteristics

• 64-bit multi-rate processing structure for the highest accuracy
• Delta oversampling signal path (bit transparent at 0 dB gain reduction)
• Ultra-fast yet natural compression
• Comb factor control scheme providing independent peak and RMS control
• Flexible side-chain high-pass filter providing smooth slope and frequency control
• Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus
• Delta preview (difference between compressed and original signal)
• Parallel bypass with delay compensation (i.e. processing without interruption)
• Extensive documentation
• User interface scaling (100%, 125%, 150%)
