03-November-2025 : ACM76SA FET Compressor Updated to V3.4.0
Inspired by one of the best known vintage FET compressor / limiters, the ACM76SA provides fast attack to tame the most troublesome dynamics, combined with colourful harmonic drive from the transformer coupled JFET VCA emulation, while the classic 'All Buttons' or 'British' mode offers an additional rich overdrive texture. The ACM76SA Vintage FET Compressor Plugin for Windows and Linux ACM76SA V3.4.0 provides the following improvements and bug fixes:
  • Bug fix. This update addresses an issue when opening the preferences or license entry panel on portrait oriented screens.
  • Bug fix. Factory preset management modified to prevent issues which could occur when reloading a session in Ardour / Mixbus.
  • Feature update. The 'OFF' text below the attack control will now change colour when gain reduction is disabled. Holding [Shift] and double-clicking the attack control enables or disables the gain reduction, allowing the harmonic colouration provided by the transformer and VCA emulation to remain, while inhibiting the compressor action. Gain reduction can also be inhibited by configuring the ratio selection buttons for 'All Buttons Off'
This is a free update for existing users, the ACM76SA is available to download for Windows and Linux PCs at: www.acmt.co.uk
