More On Kush Transformer Plug-ins

This is how Kush describe these plug-ins....

If I've got tracks that need more vibe, more color, and less of the fast, sharp transients digital is famous for, Omega Transformer plugins are my weapon of choice.
 
Transformer plugins are extremely cool on their own, giving my VI's, loops, and found sounds the character of carefully chosen, boutique analog circuits.
 
When a Transformer is used on tracks recorded with the Omega Preamp, the effect is quite stunning: a dead-on replication of the original hardware's sonic signature. This is not "sounds kinda like..." this is "sounds exactly like".
 
Transformer plugins are very simple to use — just turn the Intensity knob and a lovely, distinct flavor unfolds. The resulting Transformed tracks mix easier, sound sweeter, give EQ's more mojo to extract, and feed compressors a rounder, punchier transient to play with.
 
The result is, to my ears, a truly magical Transformation.

You can of course use the AAX Native versions of these plug-ins in
