A Genuine API Console, Right on Your Desktop

Built into the fabric of LUNA s mixer, the API Vision Console Emulation is the first of its kind. A complete end-to-end emulation, these LUNA Extensions let you fill your LUNA sessions with rich API tone, and without floating plug-in windows. You can quickly paint API Vision Console channel strips across your entire mix and sculpt your sources using API s classic L-Series channel modules.

Everything You Need to Record and Mix

Each channel strip in the API Vision Console Emulation gives you access to six of API s iconic L-Series modules. From the punch and presence of the 212L preamp and colorful 225L compressor and musical 235L gate/expander, to the powerful tone shaping of the 550L/560L EQs and sweepable 215L high- and low-pass filters, you can sculpt with bold API tone in real time.

Add API Analog Summing for Rich Harmonics

When audio sources flow through an API console specifically the 2520 op-amps and custom output transformers natural analog nonlinearities work together, creating musical harmonics and transient clipping. The API Vision Console Emulation expertly captures all of the Vision Console s hybrid voltage/current summing circuit, giving your summed signals punch, depth, and character for a mid-forward, lively mix.

Classic In-Line API Console Compression

Revered for adding energy and movement, the Vision console s in-line version of the API 2500 Bus Compressor gives your buses and master fader all of the analog glue and mid-forward attitude that put API on the map. Easily apply this fanatically detailed emulation including its powerful Thrust control on drum buses, synths, and more, for authentic, unmistakable API punch.

The First of Its Kind

From the input stage, to bus summing, to the master fader, there s never been a digital workflow that so thoroughly emulates the large-format analog console experience like the API Vision Console Emulation. Now you can harness the same inspired workflow used on countless hit records, complete with the cohesion, character, and color of a classic API desk.
