Plugins with a plastic texture?

[Transfigurationsofbeing]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for any kind of plastic-textured plugins I can add to my basses. Does anything with that feature come to mind? Thank you very much

define plastic texture?
do you have any examples, such as songs using the kind of thing you mean?

[vurt]

as a guess though, search "autowah".

Probably referring to the sh-101 sound.

Roland Cloud
Softube Model 82
TAL Bassline
D16 Lush

EDIT: Never mind, I realized this was the effect forum not the instrument forum.

Yeah, it would maybe help to clarify what sound you're after, best with some audio examples.

Personally what to me is plastic sounding comes often from phase dispersion. So most mutltiband plugins can get you there as a side effect. Just experiment with the crossovers frequencies and/or stack a few. There also meldas free MFreeformPhase which is great if you wanna go bonkers.

ABS, PLA, or PVC?

Spiff is an example, although I'm looking for something more subtle. I think Michelangelo in Kicks achieves this texture; in basses I'm not sure of hearing if there is "plasticization". The Ozone plugins I think also, in the background, have an essence like this; they cover with a certain transparency or very subtle modern "veil" that feels plastic. All of them, it should be said, are different sensations. It shouldn't be too hard to imagine, just like a metallic texture.

I think you need to figure out what specific function (phase, transient, etc.) inside your plugins is creating this "plastic" sound and find plugins where that feature is the primary function.

For bass, I can think of a couple of novel plugins that might be worth a try. First is Darkplace Studios' Sloth, which at low settings can mimick a slow slew rate analog transformer (i.e. muted transients). The other is Kilohearts' Disperser, which is a series of bandpass filters that can morph transient tonality in interesting ways.

Maybe you mean Talkbox?

I find the typical phase smeared psytrance bass to sound more rubbery than plastic which I guess goes to show how unhelpful such descriptions actually are.

But not an Effect

There's a definite plasticcy-ness to the Tone2 synths and fx. And not in a bad way!

You could download the free BiFilter to try the sound. If any of the filter fx were mac I'd be straight on them!

And the AcustiX has a Phase-Enhance thing which sounds a lot like the plasticcy-ness of his synths and filter.
Maybe demo that?
