KLANG:technologies has released KOS 6.1, an update to its operating system and KLANG:app that gives every mix its own reverb and adds a safety limiter and ambience ducker to KLANG:kontroller, mixonline.com reported.
The new reverb runs directly on KLANG:konductor, KLANG:vokal, DMI-KLANG and KLANG:1pro processors. Each mix can choose from four reverb types—Room, Hall, Cathedral or Plate—with adjustable time, return level and four-band EQ. A reverb send on every channel lets vocals sit in the room while kick drum and bass stay dry. Monitor engineers set up each mix’s reverb in KLANG:app, and musicians can adjust their own reverbs on KLANG:kontroller or in KLANG:app. Existing shows load with reverb off, so updating never changes a mix that is already signed off.
The safety limiter is on by default and protects musicians’ ears by catching sudden full-scale bursts, such as a dropped cable or a feedback spike, before they reach the in-ears. The ambience ducker lowers audience mics while the band plays and brings the crowd back between songs.
