The Herd - Parallel Compressor Gone Wild
The Herd is Safari’s triple-engine compressor built for musical glue, character, and chaos. Ride with Opto smoothness, VCA punch, or unleash the Devil for gritty analog bite. It’s warm, wild, and wonderfully unpredictable; perfect for taming mixes or setting them free.
What It Does

- VCA Mode - Fast, punchy compression for drums and transients.
- Devil Mode - Adds grit, harmonic color, and wild saturation.
- Attack / Release - Shape your compression response from tight snap to soft bloom.
- Tone - Tilt-style control to warm or brighten the signal.
- Wild Switch - Engage Safari’s signature analog-style mayhem for more attitude.
- In / Out Sliders - Fast gain staging for precision control.
- Meter - Classic-style GR display for instant feedback.
- Auto-Gain - Keeps perceived loudness steady as you push harder.
