THREE CONSOLE DESIGNS
Get to know your channel strip.
See what each stage has to offer.
Shape your sound with three classic preamps.
Choose your favorite preamp design, then explore anything from a gentle harmonic lift to aggressive saturation. Independent odd and even harmonic controls let you shape the sound within each design.
Use the preamp Mix to blend the saturation with your dry signal. Auto Gain links Drive and Trim to help compensate for level changes as you push it.
Shape your tone with three classic EQ designs.
Each of KStrip’s three four-band EQ designs has its own curves, frequency ranges and shaping options, giving you more than one way to get the tone you want.
Switch between shelf and peak shapes on the A and S designs, or use the S mid bands’ Hi Q option for tighter adjustments. Band Solo lets you hear the frequency area you’re working on before deciding what to boost or cut.
Shape the compression around your sound.
Choose from three compressor designs, from smooth level control to more assertive compression. Adjust attack and release to control how much impact comes through and how the compression recovers.
Use Mix for parallel compression and the sidechain high-pass filter to stop your low end from taking over the compression.
YOUR SIGNAL PATH
Three classic consoles, 27 ways to combine them.
Choose a complete console-style chain or create your own combination. KStrip gives you the range to keep experimenting and the control to make those choices part of your mix.
Choose A, N or S independently for each stage, then rearrange your preamp, EQ and compressor into the order you want.

- EQ
- COMP
BEYOND THE CONSOLE
More ways to shape your sound.
Build your channel strip in mid/side.
Give the sides their own EQ balance or preamp sound while shaping the center separately. KStrip brings its preamp, EQ and compressor designs into mid/side processing.
Shape the attack, sustain and stereo image.
Sharpen or soften transients, reshape the sustain, or open up the width of stereo material alongside your console processing.
The width section includes a high-pass control that reduces the low end’s involvement in widening, so you can focus the added spread higher in the spectrum.
Keep your settings while you compare.
Global Link lets you audition the A, N and S modules while keeping corresponding settings linked.
Save your own custom channel strips.
Save the combinations you love as presets, or make one your default so KStrip opens the way you want to mix. A/B comparison keeps two versions of your settings ready to audition.
“I love this channel strip. It's super fast and very flexible. It sounds great too. Thanks Kiive crew.”
