Greg Wurth's Verdict After Months with the Schwerkraftmaschine
Some quotes:
"The unit sounds fantastic [...] the icing on the cake is really the 11 different compression modes, it's a super versatile unit.
You can park it in a rack in the back of the room and because it's got DAW controllability you don't have to look at it, you just take a look at the plugin.
[...] it's been amazing, i used it recently on a record i mixed and every song had a different setting and it just opens up with the session - I can't ask for anything better than that!"

Eleven Modes and Plug-in Recall – What Greg Wurth Means
The two points Greg Wurth highlights are exactly the two things that set the Schwerkraftmaschine apart. First, the eleven compression modes: the control signal is generated digitally, so the same vari-mu tube compressor can behave like an opto compressor, like a VCA, like a classic vari-mu – or follow programs that exist in no other compressor. The modes are called Multi-Band Complex, Diode Pressor, Breakthrough, Stereo Transformer, Vari Tube Compressor, Vocal Leveler, Optical Compressor, Drum Smasher, Classical VariMu, Chart Analysis, DeEsser. Second, recall: every control sits on a servo motor. Load the plug-in (AU, AAX, VST) in your DAW and the motorized pots follow every move; save the song and the settings are saved with it. That is exactly what Greg Wurth describes with "every song had a different setting and it just opens up with the session". Sonically it stays analog: per channel the signal passes through three transformers and four triodes.
