Get ready to revolutionize your sound with Sloth – the audio plugin that brings the concept of slew rate limiting into the digital domain.

What is Slew Rate Limiting?

Slew rate limiting is a powerful technique used in analog signal processing to control the rate of change of a signal. Traditionally confined to hardware, Sloth breaks the barriers by introducing this dynamic effect to the digital realm, offering control and creativity to producers, sound designers, engineers, and musicians.

Key Features of Sloth:
  • Real-time Slew Rate Control for Rise and Fall: Sculpt your sound with precision using Sloth's intuitive interface, allowing you to adjust the slew rate for rising and falling slopes independently.
  • Versatile Applications: Whether you're looking to add subtle saturation, tame transients, or create bold distortion effects, Sloth offers endless possibilities for enhancing your tracks, sounds and mixes.
  • Seamless Integration: Compatible with all major digital audio workstations (DAWs), Sloth seamlessly integrates into your workflow, ensuring smooth operation and maximum creativity without any hassle.
  • Intuitive GPU-powered UI: The UI is rendered on the GPU, offloading the CPU for the crucial part: Audio processing. The plugin is also freely resizable.
  • Highly customizable: Theme and parameter modifications can easily be done via `json` configuration files.

Airwindows have been doing digital slew limiters for ages.

Still, this looks pretty neat.

The airwindows slew limiters are awesome plugins. However they are rather limited in their controls (and you have to work with the nonexisting UI). As far as I know, airdindows slew limiters only allow for symmetric slew limiting (which uses the same maximum slew rate for rising and falling slopes).
In contrast Sloth allows for asymmetric slew limiting, which can create quite some unique sounds.

Also with the time and curve controls in sloth it is possible to shape the curvature of slew-limited slopes, allowing for an overall brighter or darker sound.

Looks interesting, will try!

Bought and it's awesome! Thanks for making this. I also made a Gearspace thread, hope more people find out about this.

I see you also have an allpass plugin forthcoming, amazing! Really appreciate someone other than Airwindows digging into this kind of niche building-block DSP.

Thank you for buying the plugin, using it and even spreading the word!

Slew rate modules have been pretty common in modular environments also. Andrew Macaulay's Slew Processor in Voltage Modular, for example.

Still, as a plug-in, looks interesting.

Most modular slew rate limiters I've tried are primarily designed for CV signals and don't work that well on audio. This does.

Thanks. Good to know.

Can you be more specific or perhaps share a screenshot? Feel also free to send me a mail to the official mail address that can be found on the website or on the shop page.

There is no demo version available at the moment and nothing is planned for the near future.

I'm still interested, but probably waiting on a demo version.
