The Oxford Envolution Black Friday deal puts the HDX version of this envelope shaper at $92, which is 75% off, with the offer ending Dec 17, 2026.
Envolution is a frequency-dependent envelope shaper. It has separate transient and sustain sections, so you can reshape how an instrument or a whole mix attacks and decays.
This is the HDX build. It runs on the DSP of an Avid HDX system, so it stays off your host processor.
You pick which frequencies get processed in one of two ways. Tilt mode is the broader option, and focus mode works more like a parametric EQ.
Insert it on a track, a bus or the master output. The maker says it adds presence or distance to drums, piano, guitar and other percussive material.
Boost the sustain and the ambience around a recording blooms. Cut it and you get quick, precise gating.
The makers also point to the more extreme end of the plugin. The DIFF button solos the effect, and it can be used to produce negative ratio compression effects.
Because it works in parallel without phase cancellation, you can blend the shaped signal with the dry one on a send or bus.
The HDX version works with Pro Tools AAX DSP and Avid S6L. On macOS, you need OS X 10.12 or later. M1 Macs are supported through Rosetta 2. Windows users need Windows 10 or later.
Pro Tools 11 and above is required. Authorisation runs through an iLok USB 2 or 3 with the latest drivers, or through iLok Cloud, which needs an active internet connection.
Sonnox says the Standard and HDX versions sound the same. If you don't own an Avid HDX system, the maker recommends the native version of Envolution.
Yes. The Oxford Envolution HDX plugin is 75% off for Black Friday, which brings it to $92. The offer ends Dec 17, 2026. This listing is the HDX version, built for the DSP of Avid HDX systems.
It's a frequency-dependent envelope shaper with separate transient and sustain sections. You can add presence or distance to percussive material, make the ambience around a recording bloom, or cut sustain for quick, precise gating.
DIFF solos the effect, so you hear only what Envolution is adding or removing. Sonnox says it can also generate negative ratio compression effects, which suits the more creative and extreme uses of the plugin.
You need an Avid HDX system, since the plugin runs on its DSP in Pro Tools AAX DSP or on Avid S6L. Pro Tools 11 or above is required, on macOS 10.12+ or Windows 10+, plus iLok USB or iLok Cloud authorisation.
