Aurora DSP Banshee Vocal Suite

Everything You Need For Your Vocals

Banshee is an end-to-end vocal chain.

It has a re-orderable workflow, and features nine expandable modules.

Input

Four input preamp models, each emulating a different circuit topology:

• Discrete transformer-based design with pronounced low-mid punch
• Clean, mid-forward console style with enhanced transient detail
• Tube stage with harmonically rich saturation
• Transparent linear stage for neutral coloration

Integrated pitch correction module, noise gate, and an input de-esser for sibilance reduction at the source.

Equalizer

Graphic equalizer with user-programmable frequency points, designed for both corrective EQ and broad tonal sculpting.

Dynamics

Dual compression engines modeled after distinct analog philosophies.

A fast, peak-sensitive FET style for transient control, and a program-dependent optical style for smooth leveling.

Configurable routing in series or parallel.

Drive

Four parallel distortion algorithms based on classic architectures: pentode, triode, tape saturation, and solid-state transistor.

Real-time blending via an X/Y pad enables continuous morphing between distortion types.

Doubler & Beast

Doubler for stereo thickening and voice/instrument layering.

Beast mode introduces advanced spectral and modulation-based transformations for unconventional textures.

Modulation

Chorus with adjustable depth, rate, and stereo spread.

Shimmer reverb algorithm with three selectable tonal voicings, extending upper harmonic content.

Special FX

Lo-Fi processing section simulating AM radio bandwidth, static interference, telephone response, and megaphone coloration.

Pixelator effect for bit-depth reduction and digital degradation, useful for experimental sound design.

Time-based Effects

Delay unit with four modes: Classic digital, Ping-Pong stereo, Slapback, and Tape echo with variable wow/flutter.

Dual reverb processors with multiple spaces: Room, Plate, Plate II, Vintage Plate, Hall, and Chamber.

Output

Final processing includes a brickwall limiter, stereo widener, and output de-esser.

Provides loudness maximization, spatial enhancement, and high-frequency control prior to rendering or live performance.
