Team DECiBEL | 11 October 2022 | 64.5MB

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

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.
