Albedo
Albedo is a granular cloud reverb. It constantly records incoming audio into a buffer, and at the same time runs up to 64 individual looping playheads – called grains – scattered within this buffer. All grains have their own random size and position, and as they are overlaid together, a lush “cloud of sound” effect is produced.
Thanks to dual envelope generators per grain, playback speed has continuous adjustment with perfectly smooth transitions between forward and reverse directions – enabling live audio manipulation much like on a tape machine or a turntable, including a fully stopped state.
With multiple detailed controls, Albedo is capable of a vast variety of other effects, too: from melting pitch shifts and chaotic reversed delays, to chorus atmospheres and dark grimy dissonance. Albedo can also “freeze” its buffer and keep playing the granular cloud indefinitely, allowing you to layer the original input signal on top – and making this plugin a great performance tool.
Features
Sound Engine
- Real-time circular recording buffer with freeze and stereo link functions.
- Granular playback engine with up to 64 grains, variable size, bi-directional speed, and detune.
- Seamless transitions between forward and reverse grain playback.
- Low-quality vintage and high-quality modern interpolation options.
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment.
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations.
Blend v2
Blend is a multi-voice chorus comprised of up to 16 separate layers. Each of them actually is a chorus effect on its own – complete with a dedicated modulation generator and a feedback loop. Even with all 16 layers activated, the resulting mix is dense yet always silky smooth and musical – thanks to clever proportional modulation phase offsets.
Blend also has three different interpolation algorithms, each giving it a slightly different sound character. And as much as it excels at creating delicious chorus and ensemble effects of many, many styles, Blend’s unusual flexibility allows it to easily go into much further territory, so effects like vibrato, tape wow, flanger, smear, dissonance, even reverb – are just a few tweaks away.
Features
Sound Engine
- 16 chorus layers, each with its own individual feedback line
- 16 sine wave modulation generators with proportional phase offsets (one per each layer)
- Variable modulation stereo width
- Selectable interpolation algorithm: Lo-Fi, Vintage, and Modern
- Adjustable low-frequency cut filter
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
Droplet v2
Droplet is a delay modelling engine for creating “raindrop delay” effects. It is based on 32 stereo delay lines connected in series via a proportional feedback system, with each delay’s time and stereo pan being randomized in order to produce a natural sound similar to water drops falling onto a surface.
The wide parameter range, as well as low or high-frequency feedback damping, allow Droplet to produce a huge variety of effects – not just its trademark raindrop delay but also lush reverb and resonator simulations. The built-in modulation oscillator adds a unique dimension and unison detune to the sound, thanks to its unique flipped-polarity routing. And thanks to the fact that the randomization seed is generated each time the plugin is loaded, just like the natural process it’s modelling, every instance of Droplet will always sound different.
Features
Sound Engine
- Multi-tap delay engine with 32 stereo delay lines and proportional feedback scaling
- Adjustable delay time randomization
- Adjustable delay output pan randomization
- Individual low-pass and high-pass damping filters per each delay line
- Sine-wave oscillator for delay time modulation, with flipped polarity between even and odd delay lines
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
Dipole v2
Dipole is a through-zero flanger. It employs two delay lines with dual-mode feedback, and one of the delays is able to run earlier or later in time in relation to another. As this time difference passes through the zero point, a very special sound transition occurs: with positive feedback, Dipole produces that coveted spectral “swoosh” effect of a jet plane fly-by – and with negative feedback, the output signal warps and eventually cancels itself out. In the old days of audio production, such effects were created manually using two parallel tape machines – but now Dipole recreates that charismatic flanging, chorusing and psychedelic stereo widening with much higher fidelity and ease of use. The plugin offers both manual control of the zero-point as well as modulation via its built-in multi-waveform generator.
Features
Sound Engine:
- Flanger engine with through-zero time capability and positive/negative feedback
- Modulation generator with four different waveforms and variable stereo phase offset
- Low-cut filter and feedback self-levelling to ensure stable operation even at the most extreme settings
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
Eternal v2
Eternal by Sinevibes is a barber-pole flanger effect. Unlike a traditional flanger which typically has its tone repeatedly go up and down, this is a flanger that goes upwards or downwards in a seemingly endless fashion. To accomplish this unique “barber-pole” effect, Eternal uses an array of three stereo flangers and six bespoke, thoroughly calibrated low-frequency oscillators. And since these oscillators have a “through-zero” design, it allows Eternal to seamlessly go from downwards to upwards motion and back at your fancy. With two distinct flanger tones thanks to positive or negative feedback, this plugin puts a whole arsenal of unique airy, bubbly and even psychedelic effects in your hands.
Eternal has an intuitive user interface wholly built with color-coded graphics and subtle animations. Together with carefully tuned parameters, this highly musical effect also gives you an enjoyable and inspiring user experience.
Features
Sound Engine
- Triple-layer flanger engine with positive or negative feedback
- Multi-output, through-zero modulation generator with variable stereo phase offset
- Low-cut filter to ensure stable operation even at the most extreme settings
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
Luminance v2
Luminance is a plugin for creating “shimmer reverb” effects – unreal acoustic space simulations which gradually pitch-shift the reverberation tail upwards or downwards. It is a novel take on this highly coveted effect, based on a modern feedback delay network design with a built-in granular pitch shifter, and featuring many original tricks such as alternating-phase time scale modulation.
Thanks to the unique, meticulously executed tuning of its individual components, Luminance possesses a fresh and highly musical character: it smoothly follows the original melodic content and creates a gorgeously beautiful background sound layer reminiscent of a dreamy symphony of strings or pipe organs – with organic depth and expansive stereo field.
Features
Sound Engine
- Reverb engine based on 8×8 feedback delay network with spline interpolation and smoothly variable time scale
- Granular pitch shifter and two-pole low-pass filter for shimmer effect shaping
- Sine generator for time scale modulation, with unique alternating-polarity routing
- Additional pre-delay stage
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
