2Rule releases TugMoveEffect Plugin (VST3/AU)

2Rule has released TugMoveEffect, a free/donationware VST3/AU audio effect plugin for macOS and Windows that brings 2D positioning to audio effects processing.

TugMoveEffect

• Core Concept:
  • Place multiple effects instances on a 2D workspace and control their influence through distance-based mixing. A movable control point determines how much each effect contributes to the final sound based on its proximity.
• Adding Effects:
  • Drag & drop an effect from the right-side panel onto the black 2D workspace window.
• Moving the Listener Point:
  • Move the orange listener point manually with your mouse inside the workspace.
  • Or choose movement modes: Sinusoidal or Bouncing for automatic motion.
• Sequential Movement (Step-Sequencer Mode):
  • Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) + drag an effect from the workspace into one of the boxes in the Sequential section.
  • When your DAW playback is running, the listener point will move between these assigned effect positions in the sequence.
  • Sequence options: Forward, Backward, Mirror, Random.

Main Features:

• 13 Effect Types: Distortion, Reverb, Delay, Chorus/Flanger, Filter, Compressor, Pitch Shifter, Decimator, Phaser, Vibrato, Tremolo, Repeater, Ring Modulator, and related many parameters.
• Up to 10 Effect Instances: 3 slots per effect type, each with independent parameters.
• Spatial Mixing: Distance-based volume control via adjustable coverage areas.
• Movement Automation: Manual, Sequential (step sequencer), Sinusoidal, or Bouncing control point motion.
• 16-Step Sequencer: Automate effect switching and create rhythmic patterns.
• Preset Management: Save/load configurations with custom folder support.
• Real-time Visual Feedback: Volume meters, coverage visualization, and effect highlighting.

Notable Effects:

• Repeater: Musical tone generation with MIDI note/octave control and triggering modes.
• Pitch Shifter: Phase vocoder-based pitch manipulation for creative sound design.
• Ring Modulator: Frequency modulation for metallic, bell-like, and experimental timbres.
• Decimator: Bit-depth and sample-rate reduction for lo-fi, retro digital textures.
