Hi here's a bunch of experimental and hugely deranged patches made with Glitchmachines' buffer effect Fracture:

I will be adding more to this bank over time (34 at the moment)

You can dl Fracture from here if you don't have it already:

An example:

this plugin is great for transforming any sound (here it's a piano) into craziness

Thanks for sharing

Note I made most of these using a piano for input - I like to use simple sounds to start off with for this sort of effect so I can hear the difference most clearly, and so I can interact with the effect as I jam. So I have no idea of how these would sound fed more complex sounds or drums. Some are meant to be played 100% wet, but if you try varying the dry signal mix that can also be interesting.

Anyone else using this plugin? Reminds me a lot of a souped up DFX Transverb, which has for a long time been my favourite buffer type effect.

I've been experimenting with it as a send effects on drum and percussion.It's a bit too crazy to use as an insert to my ears.But it's quite cool to drop in at certain spots burbbling and creating mayhem in the backgound.

Just downloaded your presets I'll give them a go later today.

Thanks for the presets

They're as extreme as the plugin itself

Ftm I'm down to 3 "sound manglers" (yeah, I know that's not the right term even in a very loose sense): "Fracture", "Eurydice Legacy" and "Truc 2". IMO these work both for sudden short chaos and/or applied on longer loops/phrases (especially on drums). I know there are others, but there's a thin line between beating the crap out of a sound and still get an usable result and absolute nonsense - and (again, IMO) a lot of other "competitors" cross that line.

But they require a lot of experimenting to obtain interesting results and even then it depends on the source sound.

Yeah I think the source sound is key, what works well one some material sounds dreadful for something else.

I'll accept that this is a rookie question, but where do I put these in Windows so that I can access them in fracture (if you don't mind offering the clueless a clue)? I grabbed them and then got lost looking for the folder.

I would put them in a presets folder in the same folder as the plugin. That way you know where they are and can load them from your DAW.

As it turns out, it was user error. I just discovered Fracture's load preset button. It allowed me to navigate to the presets. Thanks for the reply. I took your advice and placed them in a logical location.

They should go in the same folder as the factory presets - not sure where that is on Windows though. If they are in a subfolder they won't show in the presets dropdown list.

I have no idea where that folder is. I've looked in all of the logical places and all of the obscure places and found no sign of the factory presets. Perhaps I need to use "show hidden files". I''m done looking for them. The navigating to them by clicking the "L" button is a workaround. Again, not a big deal. The plugin is still cool.
