AZ Audio has announced the release of Ultra Trigger FX (v1.1) and updated ADopplerEn to v1.1.
Ultra Trigger FX (UTFX) is a VST effect plugin specially designed for real-time/live audio work - the main idea behind this multi FX is 'triggering': FX selection and mix value can be made directly from a MIDI keyboard or a MIDI control surface.
Modules:
- 1 FX selector "button bench".
- 1 synced value "button bench".
- 1 synced delay with feedback, high and low damping.
- 1 glifter (glide/drift) to produce some scratch/tape stop-like FX.
- 1 flanger with feedback damping.
- 1 six stages standard phaser.
- 1 decimator unit with sampling rate reduction, bit depth reduction and a saturation.
- 1 realtime slicer with looping speed control and a quantized variator.
- 1 ring accumulator with feedback and low damping.
- 1 tri combs with a chord selector, feedback and root note selector.
- 1 shared LFO with 6 shapes (sin,tri,square,saw up,saw down and sample & hold).
Technical specifications:
- Full stereo processing.
- Two phases Low frequency oscillator with sync offset.
- Dry/wet signal smoother.
- Maximum mix level defined for each FX.
The 'synced value' trigger bench is used to drive a specific parameter of each FX:
- Delay: delay time.
- Glifter: glifting ramp reset frequency.
- Flanger: delay modulation frequency.
- Phaser: all-pass filters frequency modulation.
- Decimator: sampling rate reduction ratio.
- RT Slicer: offset to read in the sampling buffer.
- Ringer: delay time.
- TriCombs: tonality in MIDI scale (pitch).
These values are synced to the VST host in double-croche values (from 1 to 8, as time or as frequency value).
MIDI specifications:
- The two benches of buttons can be automated with both MIDI notes and CC (all channels).
- The faders can be automated with MIDI CC.
- The MIDI map is implemented in a classic grid directly connected to the plugin MIDI system, once a value edited it can be tested directly. Editing and saving is accessible with the popup menu on the main interface.
Ultra Trigger FX is available for the introductory price of €10 (normally €20) and functions as a VST effect plug-in for Windows.
ADopplerEn v1.1 changes:
- Less parameters, there was an error with pan volume it was computed twice.
- New GUI.
- 3 built in FXP.
- Double fp precision.
