story

Kolor's Belin and Klangfilm, with the choosing done for you.

Kolor Mikro takes the heart of Kolor, a rare French Belin shelving EQ and the tilt from the iconic Klangfilm RZ062a, and sets them in one fixed panel. Nothing in your way.

You get a top shelf, a bottom shelf, a tilt, filters and a preamp, all in front of you at once. Set it by ear, the way you would a hardware unit. Load it and push the shelves. That's the whole workflow.

Sampled, not modeled
Every curve taken from the hardware itself, band by band, sample by sample.

how it compares to Kolor
Kolor Mikro is the fixed version: Belin shelves, Klangfilm tilt, filters and the Belin preamp, set and ready. Kolor adds the rest of the units and lets you mix and match their bands.
upgrading
Move up to the full Kolor whenever you like. Get in touch and I'll set it up.
CPU
Kolor Mikro is CPU-hungry by nature. It eases off once the knobs are set. Freeze tracks if you stack instances.
machine learning
The saturation is recreated with machine learning, trained on custom test tones. Never on anyone's music, and never on your audio.
mixing or mastering
Built for mixing, at home on the master bus too.
manual
The Kolor manual covers every control.
licence
One licence per user, install on as many machines as you personally use. All future updates are free.
