Spectrus is Now 1.4.0 - Modular Multi-Effect Plug-in, Total of 24 Effects - Windows, macOS, Linux

[Morphulus]

Spectrus 1.4.0 is out - Mirage granular pitch-cloud, a Master Limiter, and a restyled rack

Hey all - 1.4.0 just landed, and it's a big one.

Mirage - a new granular pitch-cloud
Mirage shatters your incoming audio into a swirling cloud of grains and hands you the controls to reshape it completely.

Master Limiter
A proper brickwall limiter on the output as a final catch on your level.

Also new

• Texture category - Mirage, Cloud Reverb and Stutterus now live together under a dedicated Texture home (all your presets load exactly as before).
• Collapsible rack - collapse any of the four slots to a thin strip to free up width, or collapse all four for a compact overview at a glance.
• Neon Halo knobs - a fresh, dimensional look for every control, tinted with each module's signature color.

Spectrus is a modular multi-effect: 24 effects across four freely-routable slots, 951 presets, dark/light themes. Windows / macOS / Linux in VST3, AU, LV2 and CLAP.

1.4.0 is a free update. New here? There's a free version with 7 effects, and a demo. Pro is $49 - currently $29.40 in a limited-time sale.

Thank you satYatunes.

Is there going to be some way to demo the pro effects?

[Morphulus]

Hey Pekbro, yes ultimately at release there will be 2 modes available when you download, the Free mode, and a Demo mode. In Free mode you have the 7 effects with no limitations. In Demo mode all Pro effects are available to demo. The only limitation is the audio will periodically fade out and recover about every minute, similar to how Valhalla DSP demos their plugins.

[pekbro]

Ok thx, looking forward to it.

[UPDATE] Beta now includes Demo and Free mode. Link above ^

Thank you satYatunes.

Tried it. Even made a video. Hope it creates some buzz.


My thoughts: As a UI designer the first thing that I look is the UI/UX. The current UI is usable but gives a prototype/utilitarian vibe. It could have been better.

Tried it before the demo mode release so tried only the free effects. IMHO all are top notch. Loved the Random Mix button, surprisingly the results were good. Thanks for shipping with huge number of presets. Good luck.

[Morphulus]

Wow satYatunes, very cool, thank you.

[pekbro]

Neat! I like it.

I would say that $50 is not cheap for many these days, consider an up-gradable mid tier if your CP can facilitate it. This could allow you to easily add additional effects or content later as well via upgrades.

Hey Pekbro, that's great, glad you like it. Let me think on a mid-tier version. Thank you for the feedback.

Personally, I don't mind the tile look, but I think they should fill the available space better, or in the least have some alignment options, in particular below the vu meter.

I can confirm this performs well on Core i5...
