I had a serious case of GAS and came across Spectral Distortion from Faded Instruments via one of KVR's online ads. Clicking into the Faded Instruments site I was happy to find a cool collection of fun audio toys priced reasonably. I bought them all.

https://fadedinstruments.com/

Here's their catalogue:

SPECTRAL DISTURBTION - VST/AU Effect $16.99
A radical sounding Emoji Controlled Multi-band Chebyshev Polynomial Distortion effect – super noisy, and super weird! Chebyshevs allow you to create specific harmonics, generating brutal noise, old radio crunch, and even adding spooky harmonies to your sound.

BLUMEN UND PFLANZEN - VST/AU Instrument $19.69
An expressive and unpredictable performance tool, Blumen und Pflanzen is a pulsating FM feedback synthesizer/groove machine.

SLIMER FM - VST/AU Instrument $9.09
Slimer FM turns your DAW into a modular FM mega-instrument. An FM synth without modulator oscillators, Slimer uses an audio input allowing any synth/drum/vocals/effects chain to become a part of your FM synth.

GHOST TONES - Free VST/AU Instrument $FREE
Ever wanted a psychoacoustic synth that never plays the note you’re playing, but instead chooses two random notes and tricks your ears into hearing your note? Didn’t think so – but here it is.

In before someone complains about aliasing (I have no clue if they do).

I'm tempted. I dig what I saw in the videos on the site.

Oh, and the video links on this thread aren't working for me--I see the play icon, but clicking on it did nothing--videos work on the site though.

My fault - I just used screenshots and was too lazy to embed the videos. But I just replaced the images with the videos now.

I worked with Spectral Disturbtion and it's truly an incredible distortion. I'm looking forward to digging into the other products today.

Hey all! I'm Faded Instruments - saw the thread so I thought Id say hello!

Faded Instruments is a new project I've started while on lockdown and can't travel/perform, so I'll be curious to hear how people enjoy them. I have a bunch of new ones in development so there should be a bunch coming out in the next few months!

Ah - yeah, theres some strobing in the Spectral Disturbtion video - I'm a strobe addict... I tried not to make it too intense, but its there~

Ha! RTFM. The manuals are worth looking at and are pretty funny. They are in the 1st person where the plugin tells you about itself and how to work it.

Here's a track messing around with them all. It's all 4 products plus a beat.

These look pretty fun, especially the groove box.

Or, instead of the three that cost anything, you could get one excellent synth, say. Or one superb effects plugin.

*shrug* Whatever does it for you.

Call us back when you can make a case that these plugins aren't worthwhile.

Plexuss - love the track! Do you mind if I repost on our facebook? Sounds great

NAD - Ah yeah - Israeli name! But I'm from LA (but live in Berlin mostly now). I visit family in Tel Aviv every once in a while, but never lived there~

Sure thing! And here is another you can use, a work in progress. I'm using B&P and little GN in this one so far, plus other stuff...
