VirSyn releases BARK, a multiband filter that attempts to confuse itself with the human ear. The ear itself acts like it contains a bank of filters as any two tones separated by more than a critical bandwidth are processed independently by the ear.

BARK contains a bank of filters with 27 bandpass filters that match the critical bandwidth. Because the human ear has its own "built in compression system" based on these critical bands, BARK does the same. It uses an independent compression algorithm on each of the 27 bands.

Fast Features:

• 27 Bark band Equalizer/Compressor
• Linear phase precision filters for maximal transparency
• +24 / -48 dB gain change rate per band
• Surround operation with channel link/unlink*
• Minimized latency (12 ms)
• Real time pre/post processing spectrum display
• Compression parameters overall and per band

*only available for AU / RTAS / VST 3 versions, not in VST 2.4
