  • Volume trim with live IN / GR / OUT meters
Why this one
  • Four macros instead of a five-plugin vocal stack
  • Opto density that stays musical under Control
  • Space that pushes vocals back without a full reverb chain

FAQ

Before you buy

VOX-1 or CHN-1 on vocals?+

VOX-1 is the vocal-first macro strip (density, tone, space). CHN-1 is the general tracking strip (filter, EQ, dynamics, sat). Many sessions use VOX-1 on leads and CHN-1 on instruments.

Does Space replace CV-1 / SPC-1?+

Space is a light plate/slap placement tool. Reach for CV-1 or SPC-1 when you want a dedicated vocal or mix reverb.

Is this a subscription?+

No. Monarch licenses are buy-once / perpetual. Activate on up to three machines and re-download from your account anytime.

Which formats and platforms?+

AU, VST3, AAX, and CLAP on macOS and Windows — the same checklist pro shops lead with.

How do free forever plugins work?+

Eight tools (GN, FLT, DLY, PCH, LUFS, GAT, MOD, REF) are free forever with full formats. Sign in, claim, download — no card required. REF-1 also offers an optional $9 “pay your conscience” tip.
