XLN Audio RC-20 Retro Color [WIN+MAC]

XLN Audio RC-20 Retro Color

Add character and analog warmth to any track or mix

RC-20 Retro Color recreates the sound and imperfections of vintage recording gear, now with a creative Echo and an expanded palette of effects to explore.

From grayscale to full color

RC-20 adds depth, movement and character, from subtle vintage warmth to warped, otherworldly textures. Take any sound and hear it in color.

Color worth repeating

With RC-20’s effects inside the feedback loop, your echoes take on a life of their own. Each pass adds more color, texture, and character.

Bring Wobble, Distort, Digital, Space, and Loss into the Echo loop.
Push feedback into self-oscillation for cascading swells.
Add shimmer and atmosphere with pitched or reversed Grains.

Customize the order of RC-20’s modules to discover new interactions and timbres.

Enhanced production workflow

Stay in the groove with RC-20’s upgraded workflow, including full undo history, module locking, modifier-key control of several parameters at once, snapshot comparisons, oversampling, and master compression.

Expanded Sonic Palette

Add movement and grit with Warp modulation, Digital Sputter, Drive, and new Noise types. Dial in Space Ducking and pre/post Noise routing for complete spatial control.

Faster preset browsing

Explore 250+ new presets, filtering by character, function, and modules to quickly find the processing you want. Click the dice to load a random preset and explore new sonic territory. Save presets into collections, and share them with ease.

Tempo sync

Keep modulation, Magnetic tape flutter, and Echo times locked to your project’s tempo for beat-synced movement.

Master Compressor & Clip

Compress to tighten dynamics and glue tracks together. Push the soft clipper for analog warmth and harmonic bite.

Loudness match

Audition changes objectively without volume bias by automatically matching processed output to the dry signal level.

Focus/Cut filters

Dial in the frequency range each module works on. Leave everything outside the range untouched with Focus, or remove it completely with Cut.

Compatible with v1

RC-20 v2 installs as a new, separate plugin to the original RC-20 so upgrading won’t touch your existing projects. All the sounds and factory presets you love are still included in v2 and you can import your own v1 presets in a few clicks.
