Heritage Audio creates a digital HA-609A replica

Heritage Audio just cloned their Neve 33609-inspired hardware compressor into software form, handing it out free to gear owners while charging everyone else a hundred bucks.

The HA-609A plug-in drops

• Component-level modeling recreates the hardware's sound without cutting corners on accuracy.
• Hardware owners and i73 PRO interface users can snag it without paying anything.
• A 14-day trial lets curious producers test drive it before committing cash.

What the software version does

• The interface mirrors the physical unit's front panel down to control layouts.
• It delivers the same glue, punch, and musical compression the hardware provides.
• Running unlimited instances costs way less than buying multiple rack units.

System specs and pricing breakdown

• Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.15.7 cover the compatibility requirements.
• VST3, AU, and AAX formats work across all major production platforms.
• The standalone price sits at €99 for those without qualifying hardware.

Heritage Audio's loyalty discount structure

• A 20% cut applies when customers buy their second plug-in purchase.
• The third grab gets 35% off using the loyaltyprogram checkout code.
• Every additional plugin after that drops to half price automatically.
