A tribute to the prestigious Dutch electronics company. Beginning in the 1950s, they began producing quality professional audio equipment with truly outstanding performance.
This equipment was used primarily for recordings for their label, which over the years featured such famous artists as David Bowie, The Bee Gees, Shirley Bassey , Nina Simone, Demis Roussos, Dusty Springfield, Roy Hamilton and many others. Acustica plugins require installation: Acustica Framework
This plugin is the first in the Acqua suite to feature our new Hyper preamp technology. It significantly improves the standards of existing preamp emulators, offering the highest sound quality, precise tuning and low CPU consumption, leveraging the extraordinary potential of our VVK technology.
Tulip contains emulations based on extremely rare hardware units built by a famous Dutch multinational company that has created and acquired several record labels over the years.
They had a habit of renaming the sound consoles they designed and created depending on which label was using them, so it’s not surprising to find versions of the same console that were named after -different.
We’ve taken the best features of these sought-after classic consoles and combined them into Tulip. Any audio engineer will be captivated by the unique capabilities of this one-of-a-kind set of plugins.
