Polycomb is a polyponic comb filter VST effect. It is similar to Dronebox but the comb filters are controled by polyphonic midi input. This allows rapid chord changes with up to 32 note polyphony.
Dronebox is a bank of six resonant, tunable comb filters with extensive modulation options. It can be used to create lush evolving drones or to add resonance to source material. For instance it can simulate the sound of the sympathetic strings of the sitar – great for processing guitar.
Endless Series is a unique synthesis and effect plug-in based on the Shepard Tone auditory illusion. It generates mind bending infinite scales, psychedelic drones and fascinating sonic textures and works as a tone generator, a ring modulator, phaser, flanger or resonant filter bank effect. It’s perfect for adding subtle or extreme tension to many kinds of electronic and experimental music – for instance you can use it to drive the dance-floor crazy with never ending build-ups and climaxes, or add a sense of motion to your latest track without changing the tempo. The plugin is also very effective for many sound design tasks and makes great high-octane engine sounds, like those used for the Batpod in Batman, The Dark Knight.
Spacestation is a simulation of the Doppler Effect, which is the name given to the perceived change in frequency of a wave as the source moves relative to the listener. For audio this equates to changes in the pitch of the sound source The pitch is higher as the source approaches and lower as it moves away. Examples include sound of a passing train, ambulance or race car. Spacestation allows you to apply this effect to any input material so it’s useful for sound designers or for musicians wishing to create spatial movement in their sounds.
For the mastering engineer, a multi-band compressor is a powerful tool. But as Spiderman’s uncle Ben famously says: with great power comes great responsibility. A multi-band compressor that is not used diligently may create more problems than it solves. This is why we created Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor (IMP).
There’s a reason the eq that inspired this plugin has endured 45 years of musical fashion & trends: it does all the right things to sound. But even a stunning classic isn’t safe from my meddling tastes! For starters, this eq’s curves are a bit tighter than the original. Next, I added a Saturation knob to overdrive a customized op-amp. That knob generates a very creamy, lush distortion, I’ll often use the Sat on its own, no EQ’ing. It’s fat, and very much a signature Sly-Fi sound!
There’s only one Kaya… literally. S. Husky Hoskulds made it by taking an old Ampex tube tape deck and hardwiring the preamp directly to the tape head. He calls his unit ‘Pa’, a minimal box with swampy distortion and a very heavy bottom. I started with Pa’s dirt, then added controls to make it more flexible. An assymetric Treble control can rebalance the sound towards the top, or tilt it down into murky darkness. An Abuse knob does exactly what you’d expect it to do. Blend allows you to tuck in the overall effect for subtler applications. What I love about Kaya is it never harshes out, it’s always warm even when it’s gone nuclear. A one-trick pony, but what a trick it is.
There seem to be two types of mix engineers: those who own a pair of the original units this plug is inspired by, and those who want to. I can’t give you the original, but I can give you my twisted take on it. For starters, I tweaked the distortions to make them fuzzier, because I have a fondness for dirt & grime. I added a 250Hz sidechain HPF option which leaves all bass frequencies uncompressed, as well as a 6kHz sidechain ‘push’ to smooth out harsh, aggressive stuff. Most compressors press sounds back, this one pushes them forward. The original is in every million dollar studio, now my version can be in yours
