Flare v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 25 August 2022 | 28.1MB

Flare is a spectral ensemble effect based on the bucket-brigade delay line. It combines a waveshaper, multi-tap delay and tremolo into a simple musical tool with a ton of features under the hood. Dial in a dreamy chorus reminiscent of classic string machines, a Chebyshev style waveshaping distortion, auto-tremolo, spectral blurring and more. The first processing stage is routed through a Chebyshev waveshaper that creates rich harmonics and distortion. Post-waveshaper, the affected signal can be easily tapered with SWEEP – a filter modeled after the Moog diode lowpass. The audio signal’s adventures have only started though! Next begins the time and space warp paradigm. DEPTH controls a bucket-brigade ensemble effect while BLUR brings smearing across the spectral domain. Space and acousmatic modulators also include REVOLVE, DELAY and SHAKE – panning, echo and tremolo effects, respectively. Flare can do a lot of things with minimal UI controls. Tap into its versatility and pull musical things out of your sounds that you never knew were there.

Swarm v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 24 August 2022 | 42.1MB

Swarm is a sound design effect inspired by “swarm intelligence” and “particle masses” such as those employed by composer Iannis Xenakis. It clones a segment of a sample and puts those members into a “flock” that disperses in unified – sometimes stochastic – coordination. Swarm excels in creating dense pizzicato clouds or spacey, randomized ambiences. It is a very unconventional effect with unpredictable and oftentimes wonderous results. With some experimenting, sound designers should become acquainted with the character of Swarm and how it can best be utilized in their productions.

Vanisher v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 24 August 2022 | 31.0MB

Vanisher is a granular audio processor and spatial effect that blurs the lines between the cosmic and the worldly. It takes any sound you feed it, chops it up into microscopic particles and re-configures it in time and space. You can create phase-induced 3D audio effects, granular blurring, glitching and much more.

Innervelt WiN MAC

Dark Haze Machine

Innervelt is a “Dark Haze Machine” that captures incoming audio and processes it through an unconventional order of effects. A Chebyshev waveshaper distorts the signal as it passes through an algorithmic space. The space effect itself is modulated by a variable sample and hold circuit, causing subtle to dramatic swells and pulses in the dry to wet ratio. The entire chain is then sampled by a short looper that can be truncated and blended with the original signal, on-the-fly. With the MEMORY control you can easily create variations, stutter effects and new phrases of ambient washes.

Weave | Buffer Drone & Space Machine

Experimental duo Larum – known for their signature tape drones and dreamy, ambient soundscapes – invite you into their world with a complementary plugin. Alongside the album, they have also released Weave – a buffer manipulator, space and soundscape machine inspired by drone and tape music. Now Larum have made this tool available for you to use your studio too!

Kristall AU VST x64 WiN MAC

Kristall | Sound Echo Prism

Kristall – a plugin inspired by Arovane’s Gestalt, out now on Tapes. Kristall is a unique delay device that creates “prisms” of echo patterns. It sends audio through a delay feedback line and resamples the output into 2 discrete branches. You can then manipulate each branch independently and adjust playback locations for each channel. Use Kristall as a simple delay or create segmented repetitions from the feedback buffer that modulate and overlap. The result creates complex patterns that augment the delay feedback in unconventional ways, uncovering myriad possibilities for sound experimentation.

Parallax | Frequency Orbiting Station

Parallax is a unique effect that is part vocoder and part echo/reverb matrix. It can create subtle, modulating filter effects that swell and transform through beautiful, algorithmic spaces. At its heart is a 10-band filterbank that can be shifted in real time to bring out resonances, shift tonal balance and animate specific frequencies. The output of the filter stage is processed by a simple yet effective delay line and algorithmic blurring. With these two chains of processors sounds can be completely resculpted, transformed and reconfigured in frequency and spatial balance.
