Courvoisier is a single-band universal dynamics processor with adaptive attack and release algorithms optimized for complex program material (mixes and submixes).
Courvoisier uses free-form curves drawn over the histogram of incoming audio material (as opposed to traditional ratio and threshold parameters) to determine the transfer function of the processing.

Histogram representation (sliding-window statistics)of incoming program material and the resulting gain change on which the transfer function can be drawn
Free-form upward and downward compression and/or expansion
Spline interpolated control curves
All performance-critical code optimized in assembly (utilizing SSE2 flow instructions)
Two different adaptive attack algorithms (program dependent)
Adaptive release algorithm (program dependent, scalable)
Additional user defined adaptive release behavior
Side chain filtering (low and high pass)
MS operation (with support for different transfer curves for Mid and Side channels)
Stereo operation (adjustable stereo link)
Dry mix option for parallel processing
Peak, RMS and Hybrid level detection
Very low harmonic distortion (THD during normal operation is below -105 dB FS)
Lookahead processing for minimizing distortion with extremely fast attack settings
Complex mode (oversampling with a twist)
