lidsquid audio has released beta version 0.9 of splinetime, a granular-based VST effect plug-in for Windows that lets you operate in 4 different dimensions simultaneously (time, speed, pitch, filter), each within a pattern of 16 individual tempo-based sync-steps.

Straightforward parameter access allows subtle spectral and temporal movements as well as complex transformations of audio material.

splinetime processes realtime audio input, or can be used as a sample player (WAV).

Features:

• 4 independent effect dimensions.
• 16 time-synced steps per effect dimension.
• Variable step length.
• 16 audio buffers or live-input.
• Morphing between audio buffers.
• Time and frequency domain output visualisation.
• Resonant filter.
• Full parameter automation.
• Quickstart guide.

Beta version 0.9 of splinetime is available as a VST effect plug-in for Windows and it is free.
