Billed as a “Dynamic Sculpting Effect”, Fuse Compressor is the latest device from Minimal Audio.

Minimal Audio made quite an impact with Rift, their bi-polar distortion plugin from 2021. It was an innovative approach to distortion. Some argued that Arturia’s Coldfire was heavily inspired by it with their own bipolar design. True or not, it can’t hurt to be in that conversation…

Next up from Minimal Audio is a new multi-band compressor, the “Fuse Compressor”. It offers up to six bands of dual compression, providing users with various effects, from transparent glue to finely detailed enhancements.

To facilitate workflow efficiency, the compressor incorporates macro control, spectral tilt, and adaptive time features to simplify the multi-band compression process.

Noteworthy precision-focused functionalities include mid-side processing, soft knee, channel linking, and individual band control.
