- [Discrete Blackmer VCA](https://cytomic.com/discrete-blackmer-vca/) - All Cytomic analog modelling DSP is written using a custom circuit modelling code generator, which we call "Cytomic Circuit Solver" or CCS for short. This way we can specify a circuit at a high level, and let CCS do the linear algebra to solve the system, and then apply symbolic simplifications to the solution. We

Our approaches to modelling are quite similar, we've both written our own CAS (computer algebra system) to symbolically solve the non-linear system of equations, and then generate code that is compiled to run the circuit in realtime. The

## Products

- [The Glue](https://cytomic.com/product/glue/) - The Glue by Cytomic is a precisely analogue-modelled plug-in based on the SSL 4000 G Series bus compressor with superbly accurate sound + useful extra features.
- [The Scream](https://cytomic.com/product/scream/) - The Scream is a detailed discrete component model of the classic green TS808 "Tube Screamer" pedal. It has input and output class-A transistor buffers, Boyle macro modelled op-amps, and a selection of fully customisable clipping diodes. In fact every value of every component can be changed and randomised to customise your tone. Choose from a selection of diodes including silicon, germanium, or LEDs to create asymmetric clipping combinations, chain any number of diodes in series or even bypass them altogether and have a high gain boost that then clips the op-amp.
- [The Drop](https://cytomic.com/product/drop/) - The Drop is an analog modelled resonant filter plug-in based on classic analog synth filters, as well as completely new designs. There is a huge level of detail in the models, which gives them amazing drive and tone, as well as smooth audio rate modulation behaviour. The original structure of the circuits is preserved in each model, as is the location and shape of all major non-linearities.

## Testimonials

- [Hear why everyone is raving about it!](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/31389/) - I've never been an advocate of expensive outboard gear, but I never found a software compressor that had the ‘magic’ of outboard buss compressors... until I got The Glue. The difference between it and the typical software compressor is not subtle - it clamps and tames your signals without any of that transient coloration, or
- [I heart The Glue](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/i-heart-the-glue/) - I heart the glue... finally, a compressor with the short attack times i've always wanted plus side chainy goodness to deliver the meat to my productions that my butcher cannot.... Cytomic does no wrong here!
- [This vst is hot!](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/this-vst-is-hot/) - I'm in a mix right now and using The Glue. This vst is hot!!!! The Glue is a must have in my set up, it is simply on every track i've done so far since i have it. As a master, or sidechain, it's simply wonderfull, punchy or smooth. I come from a 100% hardware
- [I don't know how you're doing this but congratulations](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/im-proud-to-be-on-your-website/) - You won't see my name associated with many products but I'm proud to be on your website. The features and purity of sound of The Glue show a deep understanding of how compressors work. Your mix control invites experimentation with parallel compression and your range control allows the Glue to grab the sound early without
- [The Drop is arguably the finest filter plugin ever made](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/the-drop-is-arguably-the-finest-filter-plugin-ever-made/) - Now that the finished version is finally here, we're happy to report that it's turned out every bit as special as we hoped and expected it to. Indeed, The Drop is arguably the finest filter plugin ever made, with a superlative sound and extensive feature set. The Drop is packed with powerful, fun and genuinely
- [A ‘more of everything’ compressor](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/a-more-of-everything-compressor/) - The Glue is based on the legendary SSL bus compressor and makes a mighty fine job of performing transparent bus compression. Compared to similar plug‑ins, it's more transparent but without sounding flat or boring. It's kind of a 'more of everything' compressor, and at a great price too! It not only performed impeccably on bus‑compression
- [The Glue is a world-class plug-in](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/glue-world-class-plug/) - The Glue is a world-class plug-in and we reckon it offers amazing value. Factor in the extra options and you have a very tidy and useful compressor with more real-world uses than the design it's based on. Both the Mix and Range controls add a host of options for dialling in the compression flavour, and
- [The Drop is pure magic, get it now](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/drop-pure-magic-get-it-now/) - The Drop is a success on so many levels, it’s a little mind-boggling that it’s priced under $100. As an emulation of analog filters The Drop is a stunning achievement. It’s hard to overstate just how accurate these models really are. That The Drop actually models the circuits down to the transistors means that its
- [A Tweaker's Delight](https://cytomic.com/testimonial/a-tweakers-delight/) - This is so much more than a detailed plug‑in version of the beloved Tube Screamer. Not only has it been modelled in fastidious detail, but you can tweak to your heart’s content and really dig into the fine detail of circuitry design — with no risk of burning out any chips!
