Complexer 2

The deal

$25 at KVR Marketplace (down from $49, 48% off). Deal runs through July 28, 2026.

What it is

Complexer 2 is a multi-stage dynamics processor from Venomode built around three independently controlled processing stages, each switchable between six modes: upward/downward compression, upward/downward expansion, limiting, and gating. Stages can be chained in series or parallel, and the plugin supports stereo, mid-side, and multiband routing, so a single instance can handle everything from gentle glue compression to aggressive multiband shaping. Sidechain input is built in for ducking and rhythmic pumping effects, and each stage can be routed independently for complex chains that would otherwise require several separate plugins.

Who it's for

Mixing and mastering engineers who want one plugin that replaces a rack of separate compressors, expanders, and gates. Especially useful for producers doing multiband dynamics work on drums, bass, or full mixes without stacking multiple instances of different tools, or anyone who wants serial and parallel dynamics chains without hunting through a plugin folder.

Key features

• Three independent dynamics stages with six selectable modes each, covering compression, expansion, limiting, and gating in one plugin
• Serial, parallel, stereo, mid-side, and multiband processing arrangements let you route dynamics exactly how a mix needs it
• Built-in sidechain input supports ducking and rhythmic triggering
• Large, precise controls make fine dynamics work easier to dial in
