Replicas v1.0.3 WiN MAC

P2P | 05 August 2023 | 35MB

Replicas | Creative Splice Sampler | AU, VST2, VST3, x64

Replicas is a creative splice sampler that manipulates your audio with 3 simultaneous looped segments. Inspired by vintage tape splicing techniques, Replicas samples incoming signals, rephrases, delays and pitch shifts the recorded material. With it, you can craft intricate melodic patterns, add extreme time-based effects or augment existing phrases with subtle nuances. Add ambiences to guitar and piano phrases, glitch-wreck your beats or create repeating stutter effects to vocals. Most of all, Replicas is for experimentation. It can be pleasantly unpredictable and you never know what you might get!

Coil v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 24 August 2022 | 24.7MB

Coil is an analog warping effect, a sample decimator, phaser and more. Coil was originally designed to be a glitch driven distortion effect – a probabilistic device that emulates degradation in digital and analog systems. Building on that concept, Puremagnetik has developed Coil as a simple, fun, useful toolbox for giving your audio some welcomed mistakes. It includes algorithms for augmenting your sounds with tape warp, bit and sample rate reduction, phase cancellation, filtering and more, all contained within six simple macro controls.

Arkinaut v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 24 August 2022 | 81.9MB

Arkinaut is a fictitious electroacoustic instrument, inspired by ancient sounds and materials (zither, wood stone, glass and crystal), while employing modern synthesis techniques. It excels at producing timbres ranging from plucked and bowed strings to mallets and more. It was designed to create percussive and bowed articulations combined with idiophone transients and synthesizer modulations. With an array of controls to set resonator type, transient characteristics, timbre tone and vibrational material, Arkinaut lets you sculpt a vibrating string instrument tailored to your taste. Choose from “Metal”, “Wood” or “Elastic” resonators and use the “Mallet” to add struck bar transients such as those found in a vibraphone or marimba. Arkinaut’s internal workings employ Karplus-Strong algorithms fed into a soft overdrive. An optional ring modulator provides augmented and chaotic tone design that can create a wide palette of timbres. The final stage of the signal passes through a Moog-style low pass filter and a fixed delay “doubling” module that simulates string loosening.

Antoka v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 24 August 2022 | 25.3MB

Antoka is a bit crusher, foldover resampler and AM/FM crossfader that completely annihilates anything you throw at it. Inspired by legendary guitar pedals that employ ring modulation, envelope following and distortion, Antoka was designed to bring a wealth of tonal capabilities to your session. Dial up extreme bit crushing effects for complete destruction or trim some subtle AM overtones. Antoka has a gain detection and envelope that follows the input signal. This means it will apply a bit crushing envelope over a period of time for each new amplitude trigger. Throw that on top of an LFO, an amplitude modulation / frequency modulation crossfader and you have a huge tool box of sound design possibilities.

Lore v1.0.23 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 11 October 2022 | 64.5MB

Lore | Experimental Sound Console | AU, VST2, VST3, x64

Lore is an advanced sound design workstation inspired by musique concrète, microsound and other pioneering sound technologies of the past several decades. It combines spectral and granular engines along with several other features designed to unleash the power of microsonic resynthesis.

Shrike v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 11 October 2022 | 36.8MB

Shrike | Advanced Shimmer Modulator | AU, VST2, VST3, x64

Shrike is an advanced shimmer designer. It processes an octave-shifted reverb through a matrix of 4 LFOs to create pulsating, fluctuating space effects. Between the different LFO settings (rate and waveform) you can generate cross-modulation from the controls, getting pulses and swell patterns that never repeat. For example, it is interesting to set different rates per control for overlapping, modulating spaces. Or turn the LFO rates toward the fastest speed for amplitude modulation artifacts. A slapback delay adds to the sound design possibilities as you can adjust it according to your spatial feedback needs.

Ember v1.0.1 WiN MAC

Team DECiBEL | 11 October 2022 | 44.3MB

Ember | Microsound Collage Machine | AU, VST2, VST3, x64

Ember is a sophisticated microsound collage tool that employs granular resynthesis to configure complex sound composites. Inspired by musique concrète pioneers of the past several decades, Ember harnesses modern digital algorithms with classic splicing techniques to create dense and evolving soundscapes. Point it to a folder of sounds and Ember will generate a composite of granular textures that you can later use in your electronic composition process. Ember employs granular resynthesis in the powerful Csound sound programming language to explore a collage of sounds on the particle level. Select a folder containing more than one sound and an output folder. Hit “Render” and Ember pulls a number of sounds from the folder and selects a playback slice from each one. It then creates granular composites of all sounds together with various time stretching, density and spatial algorithms.
