Pure Vintage Character
Tones from the Crypt
The sound of classic records—instantly
Instant Vintage. Zero Learning Curve.
Cryptone delivers the authentic analog tone you hear on classic records
from the 60s, 70s, and 80s—without hunting through multiple plugins or memorizing EQ curves.
Built on cutting-edge neural network technology and meticulously crafted
tone shaping, Cryptone brings legendary vintage character to your modern workflow in seconds.
Stop hunting for vintage tone. Cryptone delivers it instantly.
Revolutionary Auto-Gain Technology
Cryptone's intelligent auto-gain is a game-changer. No more volume jumps
when tweaking settings. No more compensating manually. Cryptone analyzes input and output
levels in real-time and applies transparent gain compensation automatically.
Drive it hard. Switch models. Crank the tone. The level stays consistent.
This proprietary technology ensures you can explore creative decisions without breaking
your mix balance—a feature you won't find in vintage hardware or most plugins.

Neural Network Captures
Three Eras of Saturation
96kHz neural models trained on legendary analog gear
Model A
Op-amp saturation circuit captured at the moment of perfect harmonic bloom. Adds deep, controlled weight to kick drums, bass, and low-end heavy material. The neural network preserves the complex asymmetrical clipping and bass harmonics that made classic op-amp consoles legendary.
Model B
Tube pentode distortion across the entire frequency spectrum. Full-range analog glue with balanced harmonic enhancement. Perfect for mix bus processing, vocals, guitars, and synths that need cohesive warmth and presence without shifting tonal balance.
Model C
Authentic Marinair transformer captures delivering silky high-frequency character. Adds shimmer, air, and presence while smoothing harsh digital transients. The sound of vintage British consoles—that magical top-end that sits perfectly in dense mixes.
Intelligent Automatic Oversampling
Each model is a neural snapshot of real analog gear trained at 96kHz,
replicating every nuance—intermodulation distortion, frequency-dependent saturation,
and the dynamic response that makes analog musical.
Cryptone's automatic oversampling system intelligently activates when
your session runs below 96kHz, ensuring the models always operate at their trained
sample rate for minimal aliasing and maximum authenticity.
Power & Control
Thrust & Tone
Thrust Control - VCA-Style Punch & Glue
Cryptone's Thrust compressor delivers fast, punchy dynamics with
VCA-style compression characteristics:
• Pre or Post Drive Routing: Position before saturation for aggressive
dynamic control, or after for transparent glue
• 0.3ms Attack: Lightning-fast attack for transient punch
• Auto-Release: Program-dependent release adapts to your material
• 4:1 Ratio: Aggressive enough for impact, musical enough for mix bus
• VCA Topology: Clean, punchy compression for modern productions
Three Tone Shaping Curves
Forget learning complex EQ curves. Cryptone gives you three instantly musical
analog-modeled tone shapes:
Silk Mode: Classic analog console EQ curves with legendary
simultaneous low boost and cut for tight, powerful bass. Adds 800Hz midrange
scoop for clarity and 16kHz air shelf for that vintage mastering console shimmer.
Presence Mode (Exciter): Focused 3-4kHz boost cuts through dense mixes
without harshness. Intelligent 2kHz dip removes boxiness while low-mid cleanup keeps things clear.
Dark Mode (Tape): Authentic tape machine characteristics—80Hz bump for warmth,
gentle high-frequency rolloff, and tape-style compression. The sound of classic tape saturation.
Spatial Control - Console-Style Dimension
Subtle stereo width enhancement inspired by legendary analog consoles:
• Centers bass (<200Hz) for mono compatibility and focused low-end punch
• Gently expands highs with phase-coherent all-pass decorrelation
• No phase issues or shifting—just natural, silky width that translates perfectly
• Perfect for vocals, guitars, mix bus, and spatial enhancement
Creates the three-dimensional soundstage of analog consoles without artificial widening artifacts.
