SSL Introduces Duendo V3
SSL has been busy developing a wide array of new products this month. Fresh
from the team is Duendo V3, which effectively doubles the power of the Duendo
platform with the new Hybrid Core Processing engine. The engine combines
dedicated DSP performance with a computer’s CPU
processing power. Additionally, the enhancement
allows users to upgrade Duende Mini to 64 channels
and Duende PCIe to 128 channels. This power
increase has enabled the development of X-Verb, a
‘four slot’ plug-in based on unique SSL algorithms
providing digital density, warmth, depth, and detail.
The company claims that the plug-in is not a convolution reverb based on impulse
responses, but a true reverberation generator.

“ I got a call from a friend of mine who was working on a Janet Jackson mix that we had recorded vocals on and the producer,
Rodney Jerkins, kept asking about the vocal sound, what mic we used, if it was a vintage mic. I had to smile when I told him it was not a
vintage mic but a Brauner VMA! I LOVE my mic! “
