The armada plug-in wrapper makes your trusted VST3 plug-ins usable in Dolby Atmos and other immersive formats with up to 128 channels, for mixing and mastering alike.

Whether mono, stereo, 9.1.6, NHK 22.2, Higher Order Ambisonics or Auro-3D, armada lets you use your favourite VST3 plug-ins in virtually any channel configuration, for example to give a multichannel bus the character of a vintage limiter. A built-in channel mixer sets the output configuration precisely, flexible grouping organises channels for targeted processing, and global sidechaining with a dedicated internal mixer plus parameter linking connect multiple instances. As an OBAM plug-in in Dolby Atmos Composer or Mastering Console, a single instance processes the entire Dolby Atmos mix. The multithreaded audio engine with adjustable thread allocation per instance ensures optimised performance with high channel counts and CPU-intensive plug-ins, while presets speed up session setup.
