bent is a circuit-bent resynthesis effect. It will recreate the incoming audio into an approximation of itself using a waveform-morphing audio oscillator. Depending on the volume and pitch of the audio, it will gate, stutter and morph the output in sync with your host tempo.... [more]

Although several theories have been put forward, no-one knows exactly how the black box works. What is known is that it will take an audio input and spit out a modified signal. The rhythmic, choppy, buffered and tempo sync output is especially pleasing on drums, but works for most instruments and vocals too. It has no controls, only a red LED display that runs from 000 to 099, each number would appear to change the algorithmic undertones that affect the things and stuff inside differently. Some of these so-called 'programs' appear to loop the effect, others don't. Sometimes the things are fast... [more]

boost is a dual-band parallel compression effect that enhances your audio by boosting the lows and highs whilst still letting some of the original signal through to get a nice blend. This preserves the transients and mid range of the dry signal, overlayed with the compressed lows and highs to enhance bass and boost air. Increase the gain to get more compression, then tweak the low and high band to suit the sound you want. The boost knob increases the mix of compressed audio with the dry signal. boost is a very simplified version of bathtub, which is a fully featured and flexible compressor / l... [more]

erratic 2 is a drum sample player with many randomising and velocity sensitive options to make any drum pattern sound different on each loop. It can be used to add realism or surrealism depending on how you want to set it up. At the core you have a 15 slot drum sampler with 6 velocity layers per slot, each layer can be played according to velocity, cycled (round-robin) or randomly triggered. To vary things up a bit you can determine the hit probability and hit repeat probability for each slot and add a random factor for the velocity, pan and swing for each hit. In addition to the velocity laye... [more]

faderratic brings you cross-fading of 2 stereo inputs, but with a mind of its own and a ton of options to change the fade shape, length, limits, frequency and probability. faderratic works by generating a pulse on a tempo-sync frequency and, depending on the probability, it may trigger a cross-fade event. You can optionally make the fader auto-return to either side and, if you feel like it, trigger a fade manually or control the fader movement totally manually.

moot is a flexible audio mute plugin with a number of additional features. The aim is to have a mute switch (Hit Me) that can be assigned to a single MIDI keyboard key and act in 3 ways: As a latch (one press mute, release stays muted, next press unmute, release stays unmuted). In default mode (hold down to mute, release to play audio). In invert mode (hold down to play audio, release to mute). The minimum and maximum volume can be set so that as well as muting, moot can act as a switch between a high and low volume. In addition there is an audio gate to chop the audio and a smooth contro... [more]

Octav8r is a 7-node pitch-shifter that generates 6 differently pitched stereo versions of the audio input added to a 'dry' non-shifted signal to generate a richly layered sound. Each node has its own volume envelope and variable state filter plus send controls to vibrato, chorus, delay and reverb effects. The envelopes can be triggered by MIDI, audio gate or looped in sync with the host tempo. The primary idea of Octav8r is to create multiple pitch-shifted layers of the incoming audio. With some twiddling you can get creative with panning to generate separation around the stereo field, use env... [more]
