Evertone Expander v2 Black Friday deals start at $76.45, 45% off, until Nov 30, 2026, for this upward expander plugin from Evertone Project.
It is the second generation of the expander, and the maker says the internal DSP was completely refactored while the physics-based dynamics processing from V1 carries over.
The design rests on F=ma, force equals mass times acceleration. It lifts peak transients above the threshold and widens the dynamic range.
The maker says the snap and attack that get lost in recording can be recovered, shaped naturally on any source.
The headline addition is HiDEF mode. It unlocks X8 oversampling and a higher-precision gain-curve calculation inside the physics engine, and the maker points to mastering and DRY/WET work as the best fit.
With HiDEF off, the plugin behaves like V1 with a light CPU load. With it on, the maker says transient tracking is smoother and perceived distortion drops.
The maker explains that microphone recording partly attenuates a signal's original transient acceleration. The expander restores that acceleration, which it says eases peak build-ups and masking.
There are four physics modes: Standard, Light, Medium and Heavy. Light is delicate and restrained, Medium sits in the middle, and Heavy gives powerful, dynamic expansion.
Two dedicated controls shape the response. FORCE runs from 0.1 to 20.0. DAMPING runs from 1 to 1000, where 1 is ordinary damping and 1000 is an instant cutoff. The recommended starting point is FORCE 1.00, DAMPING 1, HOLD 0.
The core and timing sections cover the usual expander ground:
AUTO THRESHOLD and INTELLIGENCE AUTO set THRESHOLD so the gain change approaches your RANGE value. INTELLIGENCE AUTO also adjusts RATIO when needed. AUTO GAIN runs for about 5 seconds and tunes WET TRIM.
On the timing side, ASSIST offers NORMAL or ADVANCED recommendations for ATTACK, HOLD and RELEASE at the current BPM. NOTE GRID snaps those sliders to note values, including dotted and triplet. TILT moves all three together, up to ±100%.
Yes. The Evertone Expander Black Friday deal takes 45% off, bringing the plugin to $76.45. The offer ends Nov 30, 2026. It is the v2 release, the second generation of this upward expander from Evertone Project.
It is an upward expander built on F=ma. It lifts peak transients above the threshold and extends dynamic range. The maker says it recovers the snap and attack lost in recording, shaping transients naturally on any source.
HiDEF is a precision mode that enables X8 oversampling and higher-precision gain-curve calculation in the physics engine. The maker says it suits mastering and DRY/WET use. Off matches V1 with lighter CPU load. It switches only while playback is stopped.
There are four: Standard, Light, Medium and Heavy. Each has a different acceleration character. Light is delicate and restrained, Medium is balanced and versatile, and Heavy delivers powerful, dynamic expansion. FORCE and DAMPING fine-tune the physics response.
