Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192k | Powered by Series 5

Classic Compression, Evolved for Series 5

The AnalogX XT-160 Over Easy Compressor brings the legendary smoothness, warmth, and punch of one of the most celebrated soft-knee compressors ever created—now fully realized in Series 5 format for Genesis.

Using next-gen modeling, we have preserved the signature "Over Easy" compression curve, ensuring that this compressor reacts musically, transparently, and dynamically—just like the original studio staple. Whether you need gentle peak control, punchy drum compression, or mix bus cohesion, these emulations deliver authentic, professional-grade results.

A Brief History of the XT-160 Compressor

The original hardware became an industry favorite for its ability to glide into gain reduction smoothly, making it one of the most forgiving yet effective compressors ever built. Designed with a unique Over Easy soft-knee response, it allows seamless transitions between compression and uncompressed signals, retaining musicality, warmth, and clarity.

Favored for vocals, drums, bass, and mix buses, the XT-160’s fast attack, smooth release, and natural saturation made it a go-to tool for engineers worldwide. Now, with AnalogX XT-160 Over Easy Compressor, we’ve captured its exact tonal and dynamic behavior—optimized for the power of Series 5 and Genesis.

Included Emulations

The AnalogX XT-160 Over Easy Compressor pack delivers two precision-crafted compression profiles, offering a balance of musical transparency and bold character.

• XT-160 2:1 Over Easy – Subtle, natural compression for vocals, acoustic instruments, and mix buses.
• XT-160 4:1 Over Easy – Punchy, aggressive compression for drums, bass, and transient-heavy sources.

Each model faithfully recreates the harmonic saturation, dynamic response, and gentle envelope shaping of the original hardware.
