Arturia TUBE-STA License Virtual Instrument

The Arturia TUBE-STA is a reimagining of the legendary vacuum-tube powered Gates' STA-Level, a secret weapon for bass and vocals since the 1950s. Accurately recreated as a powerful plug-in, you can add some studio gold-dust compression to your mix. The Arturia TUBE-STA gives you a stunning recreation of the stalwart, valve-driven compressor that was the all-American workhorse of early broadcast and recording studios.

With simple controls, dynamic performance, and gorgeous vintage tone, you can now own a piece of history as a software effect in your DAW. Entering production in the ‘50s, the original Gates compressor featured quirky non-linear attack and release that were very forgiving with almost any input.

Its simple controls and fantastic, harmonically rich sound made it a favorite with radio and studio engineers, and now thanks to the power of Arturia’s exclusive TAE modelling technology, it’s destined to become a favorite of yours, too. Analyzed, mapped out, and reborn as a software plug-in, and powered up with new features that make this golden-age compressor a must-have for the modern producer.
