Shape dynamics by intent — not by habit.
VECTRA AEGIS brings five distinct dynamics workflows into one focused visual processor — from clean full-band control to bidirectional multiband shaping and final peak containment.
You already own compressors. That's exactly why AEGIS had to be different.
Another set of threshold, ratio and attack controls isn't enough reason to change your workflow.
AEGIS starts with the result you want. Keep dynamics clean. Add punch. Build cohesion and character. Recover detail across frequency bands. Contain peaks. Five focused workflows keep those decisions inside one visual processor.
Start from the job.
Five purpose-built modes keep the job clear: CLEAN · PUNCH · GLUE · UP/DN MB · LIMIT.
Go beyond downward multiband compression.
UP/DN MB can combine downward control with upward gain below threshold across separate frequency regions.
Shape it where you see it.
Adjust Threshold, Ceiling, Up/Down Balance, crossovers and band trims directly in the central display.
Make the processor fit the session.
Compact when space matters. Expanded when you want everything visible. Resizable in between.
Hear what AEGIS changes on real musical material.
Switch between Dry and AEGIS to hear changes in movement, density and spectral balance.
PUNCH — VOCAL / TRANSIENT CONTROL
Listen for: firmer envelope control, added density and forward movement.
GLUE — VOCAL CHOP / BUS COHESION
Listen for: steadier dynamics, greater cohesion and added character.
UP/DN MB — PIANO / SPECTRAL CONTROL
Listen for: stronger notes settling while quieter spectral detail comes forward.
UP/DN MB — PIANO / 3-BAND DETAIL
Listen for: low, mid and high regions holding a more balanced dynamic relationship.
Five dynamics workflows. One coherent processor.
CLEAN
Smooth downward dynamics with a soft-knee response for controlled, less abrupt shaping.
PUNCH
Direct downward dynamics shaping for transient-led material and parallel work when impact matters.
GLUE
Compression with a controlled nonlinear coloration stage for cohesion, density and character.
UP/DN MB
Bidirectional multiband dynamics: rein in stronger energy while bringing quieter detail forward across separate frequency regions.
LIMIT
Focused full-band limiting for controlled peak containment and a confident final level.
Control what jumps out. Recover what gets lost.
Traditional downward compression controls what gets too strong.
AEGIS UP/DN MB also supports lower-level detail below threshold, balancing both behaviors across 2- or 3-band operation.
Use it when a source needs more than extra compression — when different parts of the spectrum need a better dynamic relationship.
See it. Shape it.
The central display is a working control surface, not just a meter.
It brings the transfer relationship, Threshold, Ceiling, input/output context, gain reduction, multiband regions and spectral activity into one view — with key controls available directly on the display.
Your ears stay in charge. AEGIS makes the behavior visible and the key controls immediate.
One signal. One split. Or three working regions.
One dynamics decision acts on the whole source.
Separate the spectrum when one split is enough.
Work low, mid and high regions independently when the material actually needs it.
Full, 2-band and 3-band operation all stay inside the same processor and central working view.
Built to fit your workspace.
Use Compact when space is tight. Open Expanded when you want the complete surface, then resize it to fit the screen and session in front of you.
Fine-tune the response without leaving the workflow.

Built in VECTRA. Made for every session.
AEGIS began as part of VECTRA's dynamics and finishing system.
What began inside the synthesizer is now a dedicated processor for tracks, instruments, buses and finishing work — whether or not you use VECTRA.

System requirements.
Do I need VECTRA to use AEGIS?
AEGIS runs as its own plug-in. It grew out of VECTRA, but VECTRA is not required.
What makes AEGIS different from a conventional compressor?
AEGIS is organized around the job you want done: CLEAN, PUNCH, GLUE, UP/DN MB and LIMIT. That gives you clean control, impact, nonlinear cohesion, bidirectional multiband shaping and limiting inside one focused processor.
What makes UP/DN MB special?
UP/DN MB can control stronger material while also supporting lower-level detail across separate frequency regions. It gives you a different kind of multiband movement than downward compression alone.
Where can I use AEGIS?
Use it on individual tracks, instruments, vocals, drums, buses and finishing chains — anywhere the dynamics need clearer shape, control or movement.
Can I resize AEGIS?
Yes. AEGIS has Compact and Expanded presentations, and the Expanded view can be resized to fit different screens and session layouts.
How many factory presets are included?
AEGIS 1.0.0 includes 16 factory presets plus a user preset workflow with save, load, delete and favourite support.
Will AEGIS continue to evolve?
Yes. AEGIS is an actively developed standalone product. Product updates are free for AEGIS owners, and new capabilities will be announced as they are ready.
What does AEGIS cost?
AEGIS is €49.99 through December 31, 2026. The regular price is €79. VECTRA Standard owners have a €39 crossgrade.
What if I own VECTRA Deluxe?
VECTRA Deluxe owners can claim AEGIS for €0 through December 31, 2026. Claim it during the window and ownership remains permanent.
If I buy VECTRA Deluxe now, can I get AEGIS through that route?
Yes. Buy VECTRA Deluxe during the eligibility window, claim AEGIS by December 31, 2026, and keep AEGIS permanently after the claim.
Bring AEGIS into your workflow for €49.99.
Five focused dynamics workflows. Full-band to bidirectional multiband. Direct visual control. A workspace that adapts to the way you work.
