Analog Obsession YALA v5.0 is a free vari-mu-style compressor and limiting amplifier for producers who want saturation alongside dynamic control. It suits hobbyists working in FL Studio, Ableton Live and other compatible Windows hosts, with VST and VST3 support listed for Windows 7, 8 and 10.

The input VOLUME control offers -30 to +30 dB of gain, letting you push the modeled circuit for stronger compression and added coloration. THRESHOLD sets when compression begins, while ATTEN adjusts the final output level. Attack is fixed at 10 ms, and the release control spans 300 ms to 1.5 seconds.

A sidechain high-pass filter runs from 20 to 500 Hz, reducing how strongly bass frequencies trigger compression rather than filtering bass out of the audio itself. External sidechain support lets another signal control the gain reduction.

Version 5.0 updates the DSP and circuit design, adds switchable 4x oversampling, and introduces a redesigned interface with knob readouts. There is no MIX control in this version, so parallel processing requires routing in your DAW.
