What does S9 Gravity do?
Gravity is an audio effect for body, attack and presence. Turn up the black hole for more density, then shape the attack with Impact, bring quieter detail closer with Lift, and set the character, softness and space with Focus, Fusion, Silk, Event Horizon and Response.
Does it just make things louder?
Gravity is built to change density, attack and detail, not only the level. Those changes can make a track louder too, so turn on Level Match to compare at a similar volume and judge the sound itself.
Does Gravity limit output peaks?
No. Gravity has no final limiter or output ceiling. Set the level with Output and watch your DAW’s meters, especially with Gravity and Event Horizon turned up high.
Can Lift bring up noise?
Yes. Lift brings quieter material closer, and that includes breaths, room sound and recording noise. Gravity doesn’t remove noise, so set Lift by ear.
What does Response do?
Response adds a short room that follows your playing. Low settings keep the body tight; higher settings let it open into a bloom between hits and notes.
Is Gravity an instrument?
No, it’s an effect. Put it on an audio track, an instrument track or a bus to shape the sound that’s already there.
Can I try it first?
Yes. When the paid beta opens, you can try every feature for 7 days with no card and no automatic charge. Without an active trial or licence, Gravity passes your original audio through, and your projects and settings stay as you left them.
How many computers can I use?
A licence covers one person on one active computer at a time. You can move it to another computer from Settings › Account & Updates.
Does Gravity upload my audio?
No. Audio processing stays on your computer. Activation, update checks and feedback use the connections described in our privacy notice.
Which systems does it run on?
Mac with Apple Silicon or Intel (AU and VST3), 64-bit Windows (VST3) and Linux x86_64 (VST3). All three are released together, and the exact requirements are listed in the release notes.
How is it different from S9 Lava and S9 Sampler?
Lava is a free bass effect for warmth, weight and bite. Gravity works on any track or bus and gives it body, attack and presence. S9 Sampler is where you chop samples, separate stems and build instruments. Each has its own licence.
