Pancz – pronounced “Panch” – is a one stop shop for controlling dynamics and power, combining multiband transient shaping with saturation, parallel compression and high-end EQ.
It doesn’t matter if you’re working on a drum bus, a single snare, a guitar chord or a synth line – Pancz will help you to create dynamic excitement and fit sounds perfectly into place in a mix.
Your new powertool.
Pancz is equipped with a precisely selected combination of tools: multiband transient shaper, soft clipper/limiter, waveform analyzer and additional tone manipulation effects. All elements work perfectly together giving you control you’ve never had before.
Transient
The Heart of Pancz
At the heart of Pancz is the Transients control. Design punchy, clicky transients to make your sounds hit harder and push through the mix easier. Or, use it in the opposite way to tame and control sounds that are too loud.
Get ultimate control over your signal's dynamic range, make sounds bite, hit and thwack, or decrease impact to help something sit in the mix.
Tail
Space Designer
A sound's perceived volume is all about its average level, not its transient. As well as targeting the attack of a sound, Pancz can also manipulate the dynamic range of your audio by increasing or decreasing its sustain.
Use the Tail control to bring out body, increase weight and power, stop room reverb in its tracks, or uncover hidden details in a sound.
Multiband
Next Level of Control
Pancz’s transient shaping features can work independently across three frequency bands with full control over the range and crossover frequencies. This way you can accurately target specific areas of the audio signal and make highly detailed transient adjustments.
Improve clarity and weight of a bass part, shape kick and tom sounds, and bring out details hiding in different frequency bands.
Threshold
Peak Slicer
Alongside the waveform analysis, the Threshold control can be pulled down while keeping an eye on exactly which peaks it will cut.
This control works to set the point where Pancz's Soft Clipper or Limiter will kick in, so you can get a clear view of how much impact your settings will have.
Soft Clipper
Pleasant Distortion
The Soft Clipper switch suppresses anything that goes over the threshold bar. While the Limiter is a clinical effect that stops a waveform in its tracks, the Soft Clipper has been designed to add a warm distortion to the sound, making it more pleasant to the human ear.
Bring out bass on smaller speakers, or simply trash your signal by adding harmonic distortion.
Limiter
The Clean Cut
Pancz's Limiter cuts peaks of the sound with a high level of precision. Anything that goes above the threshold bar gets instantly removed, perceiving a high quality of the audio.
Use this in conjunction with Pancz's Output Gain control to squeeze extra headroom from your audio and bring up the average level, all in a transparent and clean way.
NYC
Parallel Compression
The New York Compression knob gives you a heavily compressed, punchy sound without losing the initial transient and power of the dry signal, Crank it up for an “in-your-face” effect to give sounds more punch, thickness and weight.
This "parallel compression" effect has been used for decades to add weight to drums, bass and even vocals, helping them to stand out in a mix.
Presence
High-end Clarity
Presence manipulates the tone of the sound by adjusting mid-top frequencies.
Air
Brightness Booster
Air is a great tool to add missing top-end to your sounds making them breathe.
Explore Pancz's functions:
Transient
The heart of Pancz
Pancz can create punchy, clicky transients making your sounds hit harder and push through the mix easier. It also works in the opposite way. It can make loud and annoying transients less audible and controlled.
Length
Space Designer
Pancz can manipulate the dynamic range of the audio by increasing or decreasing its sustain. It can give you a completely squashed or a super dynamic sound.
Multiband
The heart of Pancz
Multiband splits the frequency spectrum into 3 fully controllable parts. Each of them has independent Transient and Length controls, so that you can easily target a frequency region that needs transient shaping.
Waveform
The heart of Pancz
The waveform window shows you a live view of what’s happening to the audio signal. Input and output waveforms are shown separately allowing you to see how your sound changes.
Threshold
The heart of Pancz
Threshold is a very convenient tool since, in combination with the waveform analysis, it allows you to visually cut the waveform exactly where you want to.
Soft Clipper
The heart of Pancz
Soft Clipper limits the peaks of the sound that go above a threshold bar. It’s not just a limiter. It’s been designed to add a warm distortion to the sound making it more pleasant to the human ear.
Limiter
The heart of Pancz
Limiter cuts peaks of the sound with a high level of precision. Anything that goes above the threshold bar gets instantly removed, perceiving a high quality of the audio.
NYC
The heart of Pancz
New York Compression is a great addition to sound processing. It brings what’s quiet and boosts what’s quick, giving you a feeling of detailed and “in your face” sound.
Presence
The heart of Pancz
Presence manipulates the tone of the sound by adjusting mid-top frequencies.
Air
The heart of Pancz
Air is a great tool to add missing top-end to your sounds making them breathe.

Pros who got Pancz
Fabian Mazur
“The moment I saw this plugin I knew I had to try it out. I love the visual GUI with the compressor, that is very clever! This has been going on my drum-bus in EVERY track since I got it and I think it might be my new favorite effect for that knock!”
Simon Servida
"Yoooo I just got your new plug-in, it’s amazing!!!!!
So sleek!"
Skytech
“I LOVE PANCZ. It has become my default drum tool recently.
Not only the processing sounds good but it's also very legible.
I both hear and see what's happening with the audio.
Highly reccomend!”
