Artifacts is an audio effect designed to add lofi vibes to any audio signal. Multiple sections allow for a wide variety of lofi effects ranging from noisy vintage gear over crackling vinyl players and wobbly tape machines to crunchy digital sounds and everything in between. With dedicated sections for Noise, Drive, Digital and Tape, Artifacts offers a simple yet powerful way to mix and match various types of lofi effects. A separate Liveliness section makes the plugin come alive by applying sublte or extrem flucuations to any of the 4 sections. In addition, Input and output sections allow for further sound shaping before and after processing. - Noise section - Noise - Electrical (Hum / Whine) - Crackling - Color Control - Ducking - Drive Section - Tone - Gain - 3 Drive Models - Digital - Bit Depth Reduction - Sampling Rate Reduction - Glitch - Tape - Wow - Flutter - Dropouts (Tape Wear / Bias) - Stereo Control Supports: - Standalone - AUv3

About

isxynth

This music effect plugin allows spectral cross synthesis and morphing between two input signals. It separates noise and tone components, offering controls for blending, freezing, and time-based delays. Gestures on controls can be recorded and played back for dynamic sound shaping.

Highlights
  • Spectral cross synthesis
  • Morphing between two input signals
  • Noise and tone component blending
  • Freeze control for spectral blurring
  • 3-second delay lines per input
  • Gesture recording and playback

isxysnth is spectral cross synthesis / morphing plugin it gets two input signals, splits each one into 2 parts containing noise and tone components and then allows morphing between all these elements. Freeze control allows spectral blurring-like effect for both input signals, two 3 second delay lines allow selection of different signal in time and also provide "freeze" effect you can process left and right channels on stereo source or use this effect as multi-input AUv3 - in that case it will use 2 stereo inputs. Standalone mode currently works only in "mono" mode - three XY controls set balance between tone and noise components, amount of freeze and set up morphing - both inputs have 3-second delay line; freeze button ("*") toggles off recording. - gestures on all the main controls (3 xy pads and two sliders) can be recorded and played back when appropriate button with ">" label is toggled on - in current version standalone app supports only mono (L + R as inputs I and II) processing
