Following the success of cutting-edge products like [Kirchhoff‑EQ] and [Cenozoix Compressor], both highly regarded for their innovative DSP technologies, Three‑Body Technology now introduces a new vocal dynamics processor in the style of OTT: VO‑TT.

Originally popularized by the “Multiband Dynamics” preset in Ableton Live, the so-called "OTT sound" quickly gained traction among EDM producers and has since become a staple in the digital music production world. Its punchy, aggressively upward-compressed character has even earned it the nickname “the digital-native 1176”. This popularity has led to numerous plugin emulations across the market.

From the user interface, it’s clear that VO‑TT draws more inspiration from the free Xfer OTT plugin rather than Ableton’s original. However, given TB Tech’s reputation for feature-rich, high-performance tools, we were curious to see what unique concepts or enhancements they’ve brought to the table. In this article, we’ll explore that through hands-on impressions and a detailed breakdown of its capabilities.
