spectralsand2 (plugdata)
ATTENTION: spectralsand requires your daw to run in rosetta to work on a mac m1. don't buy this plugin unless you have it.descriptionspectralsand is a spectral delay plugin built around a central array and the concept of signal printing. now, what exactly does that mean?essentially, spectralsand can break down the frequency spectrum into hundreds of tiny bits and delay each one by a certain amount of time. this allows it to completely change ...
rockpuncher (live11)
rockpuncher (the rack)descriptionthis is a drum synthesizer/template for making kicks and snares. i tried to equip it with as many interesting and useful features as i could find.(this rack requires diopser, khs distortion, khs transient shaper, & spectral gate to be fully functional. luckily, all of those are free!main features:modules: rockpuncher comes with a body module, a transient module, and a layer module (with potential to add as many of...
redundant (live11)
redundant (the rack)description:this pitches a sample up, then down, then up again, then down again... then up... down... uhdfhgbdfgb you get it.main features:shift: this changes the amount of shifting (but not actually).grain size: this changes the grain size of the pitch shifters.mix: this changes the mix of the pitch shifters (it doesn't really change the mix of the effect, but it sounds FUN.)redundancy: this changes how many times the inp...
mass rack (live11)
mass (the rack)descriptionthis is my self-designed phat rack, made with free and stock plugins exclusively. i use it as a swiss-army knife on most of my songs, and i think it's pretty cool, so i want to give it away!(this rack requires ozone imager 2 and khs transient shaper to be fully functional. luckily, both of those are free!)main features:mass: this controls the amount of saturation/mass added to the sound.wet: this adds a disperser-typ...
wineglass (live11)
wineglass (the rack)description:wineglass: it puts funny glassy overtones on things!(this rack requires pitch tracker to be fully functional. luckily, it's free!)main features:reso: this changes the resonance of the input going into the rack.glass: this is a pitch-tracked corpus oscillator that reacts to the input.air: this adds or reduces high end from the input.room: this adds a tiny convolution reverb to the input.+many more!closing notest...
spray-paint (live11)
spray-paint (the rack)descriptionthis rack adds a silly-sounding high end layer to it's input. it's really good for adding extra details to kinda bland sounds.main features:high pass: this controls the high pass on the high layer.width: this controls the width of the high layer.vocoder: a really specific vocoder preset that adds noise to the high end.shift: FREQUENCY SHIFTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR+many more!closing notesthis rack is ...
ku-vox (live11)
ku-vox (the rack)description:this rack is based on the kuatari vocal effect. it makes incoming vocals harsh and gritty.main features:crunch/formant/release/mix: this changes settings on a noise vocoder and phat rack combination.re-code: this vocodes the noisy output with some of the original input (or another source) to bring back some vocal clarity. this requires that you set a modulator in the open vocoder.shift: i just love frequency shifters ...
splits (live11)
4 splitting racks: 3-band frequency, 6-band frequency, noise-tonal, & transient-bodydescription:this is a collection of 4 splitting racks that separate audio into different components. these are really useful for sound design, mixing, and just general sonic tomfoolery.(these racks requires mratiomb to be functional. luckily, it's free!)racks:3-band frequency split: splits an incoming signal into 2-3 frequency bands.6-band frequency split: spl...
altar (live11)
altar (the rack)description:this turns amen breaks (or really anything with a rhythm) into complete CHAOS. it's probably good for breakcore producers or something.main features:craze: this gives the input a crazy random buffering/glitching effect.mod: this is a randomly alternating phaser/flanger.pitch: this randomly pitches the input up and down.decay: this gives the "craze" a really weird stuttering/slowing effect over time.warmth: ...
eel (live11)
eel (the rack)descriptionthis rack is a weirdo answer to those really popular "growl" racks. it uses unconventional methods to achieve a growly sound, with a little extra glitch thrown in. all the results sound slippery as an eel! i highly recommend automating these (minus maybe "ott amount" and "doom comp").main features:growl/res/formant: these control the timbre of "growl" the rack creates.ott: this is an octago...
marmalade (live11)
marmalade (the rack)descriptionthis rack is based on a patcher effect i made AGES ago called "paddington," which made grainy-sounding pads and soundscapes with basically no effort. it went really viral on producer subreddits for some reason, so i decided to remake it in ableton using stock plugins!main features:space: a reverb/spectral blur processor for making large, space-y sounds.grain: a row of pitch shifters that make incoming sounds...
magnesis (m4l)
magnesis (the device)descriptioncross-synthesizers are spectral effects that take the amplitudes of one signal and combine them with the frequencies of another. they're like really sexy vocoders, but they're usually rare, hard to use, and EXPENSIVE. so i made magnesis!"magnesis" is a cross-synthesis effect with an insane amount of potential, while still remaining pretty simple. you can mix any two sounds together using it's 4 ...
