Instruments that sound good inspire better music, and it's a struggle to make music with bad-sounding instruments, irrespective of how talented you might be.

That's why we make Ordinary Magic Desktop Channel - good sound, better music.

Ordinary Magic Strawberry Field Effect Technology is a circuit that gives musical effects of tube-based circuits used in consoles, compressors, equalizers. It is not an “emulation” or “modelling”, we’ve been just trying to achieve that special effect we heard when using all that tube gear.

We think emulation is boring and the wrong point to start with. What do we end with by constantly repeating the past? Why don’t we just learn the best ideas and try to push them further?

What if we can analyse the effects of some widely used preamps, compressors, consoles, etc., and then try to get an essence, a crux of everything we love about them, but without unwanted side-effects?
That’s what we’re trying to do.

Long story short:

our Ordinary Magic Technologies, as we call them, are nothing more than a series of nonlinear circuits that brings the essence of musically meaningful and useful effects of a heritage technologies used in music production for the last century.

For Reaper users:

Thanks to Vlad of Tokyo Dawn Labs we now have Tanhx plugin in JS format!

- Drive for saturation level
- Bias/harmonics balance,
- Low frequencies emphasis (lows saturates less)

2 versions now:
- basic saturation and
- version with passive EQ

Just use 2x built in Reaper oversampling with really extreme settings.

It is not the same as hardware (more static), but the curve is right, and it works nice!

Version 1.1

Quick reminder: we have a nice small plugin modelling our Ordinary Magic Strawberry Field Effect Technology satuartion core.

On compression on vocal recordings…
Yeap, they did not used it at Motown.

What for this all about? —
We’re not making fuzz-pedals or “shittifying boxes”.

Distortion is a tool, not an effect.
One of the most important tools. And the one most neglected by many people.
