Spiral CM is a brilliant harmonic visualisation plugin created for Computer Music by the boffins over at Photosounder.We’re already big fans of their flagship spectral sound design toolPhotosounder, and their feature-packedSplineEQ.
Crisalys is a software synthesizer characterized by a powerful audio engine which can work up to 192Khz. The three oscillators are driven by custom waveforms designed specifically to grant top quality sound in any situation. Each oscillator has built-in FM, Ring Modulator and Cross Modulation options controlled by three separate internal LFOs. The Ring Modulator can achieve sound characteristics that can go beyond the common sonorities of this effect, thanks to an internal custom circuit which has been developed for this purpose.
The Sanford Phaser is a VST plugin emulating a classic phase shifter. It is capable of a wide range of phase shifting sounds from subtle swirling effects to deep vibratoes. Its quadrature LFO enhances the stereo output by modulating the left and right channels 90 degrees out of phase with each other. Also, you can control the modulation depth in realtime with the modulation wheel or aftertouch.
Capable of combining several filter types, its unique approach is designed to yield amazing sounds quickly, even from the hands of beginner producers. Originally a Computer Music-exclusive product, it’s now featured for free in Ohm Force bundles, which alone makes these packages actual must-haves.
IIEQ Pro CM is an all-purpose EQ, whereas LP10 is focused more on mastering, offering linear phase and variable phase operation. The plug-ins are based on DDMF’s highly regarded IIEQ Pro and LP10 plugins.
Cumulus is a granular sampler which radically transforms sample content by breaking it into tiny slithers of audio called grains and reorganizing them to form new sounds. Cumulus is capable of a wide ranges of timbres: from evolving atmospheric soundscapes; to organic physical textures. Up to eight Scenes can be created; a Scene corresponding to a particular sample position and set of synthesis parameters. Scenes can be played in realtime via MIDI, or arranged internally using the built-in sequencer. True independent stereo processing means that Cumulus is capable of running in mono or stereo. With optimized audio algorithms that won’t overload your processor, rock-solid stability, and easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller, Cumulus is ideal for live work. With a simple and intuitive interface, flexible preset management, and total parameter automation, Cumulus fits right into your studio environment.
