Endorphin:
dual-band stereo compressor,
Dynamics processors are essential when recording, mixing and editing music. But when it comes to compressing an entire sum signal, a lot of digital compressors turn out to be unusable, many of them were made to process single-track signals only.
On complex sources they tend to produce a 'pumping' sound, distort or just make your music lifeless. There are manufacturers telling you 'this is the only compressor you'll ever need'. Don't believe them. Sound signals are far too complex to be handled by a single device.
Your music deserves care and attention to details. This applies especially to the post-mixdown stage, often referred to as 'mastering'.
Endorphin is no universal talent either.
It is a specialist for complex sources like a mixdown, after having made minor sonic adjustments and right before burning the track to CD.
Furthermore, it can help to increase depth, definition and loudness of a track.
I call it an 'analog-style' compressor: endorphin uses models like frequency-dependent nonlinear operation, different harmonics creation stages as well as two basic compressor circuits taken from the analog realm.

BAXXPANDER:
Vintage style saturation/bass expander unit,
presented as VST effect. We think this plugin is specially good to add warmth and saturation to drums
and basses, and with vocal tracks that need a little punch. It uses very little CPU, and includes 8 factory presets.

The Saturator is a FREE plug-in that emulates the non-linear curve of analog tape in saturation. The Saturator can add up to 6dB of gain to the signal to push it into overdrive whereby soft clipping begins. When used properly the Saturator can add that "analog sound" to your tracks or can be used to boost low level signals giving them an "analog edge".
Firegain:
Firegain is a 3-band (soft-)clipper / shaper.
Divide the signal into three frequency bands using box-filters.
Applies soft clipping to each of the bands.
Recombine the signals to create a final signal.
It introduces a small delay depending on the lower frequency.
