Replicant 3 vs BLEASS Voices

Replicant 3 is a real-time audio slicing and mangling effect, the third generation of the plugin that started the genre in 2007. Feed it any audio and Replicant's sequencer captures, loops, reverses, and re-slices it on the fly, layering in delay, filtering, panning, ring modulation, and bit-crushing to turn predictable tracks into something unpredictable. Version 3 is a ground-up rebuild with an all-new sequencer engine, expanded effects, and a redesigned interface that makes programming complex slice patterns fast and intuitive. SEQUENCER ENGINE Program 3 to 16 steps per measure with multiple step-size modes, from dotted notes through nontuplets. Build rhythmic patterns that go well beyond straight time. Per-step probability, direction (forward or reverse), and effect routing let you create patterns that evolve and surprise. FOUR SLICE EFFECTS The original Stutter capture-and-repeat is joined by three new modes. Delay adds rhythmic echoes to sliced audio. Redukt applies bit-crushing and sample-rate reduction for lo-fi destruction. Ring Mod adds metallic, inharmonic tonal coloring to any slice event. ENVELOPE CROSSFADING Smooth transitions or hard-gated rhythmic chops on every slice event. Control the attack and release shape of each captured buffer for precise dynamic control. MANUAL AND MIDI TRIGGER Bypass the sequencer entirely and fire slices on demand. Manual trigger mode works with touchscreens for live performance. MIDI trigger lets you drive Replicant from a controller, keyboard, or DAW automation. REDESIGNED INTERFACE A visual step sequencer puts your entire pattern on screen at once. Edit steps, assign effects, set probabilities, and adjust parameters without menu-diving. CROSS-PLATFORM PRESETS XML-based preset manager with presets compatible across all Audio Damage plugin formats and operating systems. SOUND DESIGN IDEAS Sequence stuttering vocal chops with per-step filter sweeps. Build glitched-out drum fills by randomizing slice direction and bit-crushing depth. Layer ring modulation on sustained pads for metallic, evolving textures. Use MIDI trigger mode to fire slices manually in a live set. Program polyrhythmic slice patterns with odd step counts against 4/4 time. Run full mixes through Replicant on a bus for controlled chaos breakdowns. AUv3 compatible. Runs standalone or hosted in AUM, ApeMatrix, Audiobus, Cubasis, GarageBand, and other AUv3 hosts on iOS 11 or newer. From Audio Damage, making creative software for discerning musicians since 2002.

BLEASS Voices is a vocal processing effect for pitching, transforming, doubling and harmonizing vocals and other sources. With 12 pitch-shifted voices and detailed control over pitch, formant, tone, width and placement, it can move from subtle vocal enhancement to dense harmonies and radical transformations. Four harmonized voices can be transposed independently by up to one octave in either direction or fixed to a chosen pitch. The remaining eight voices can be triggered via MIDI, turning incoming audio into a playable vocal instrument. MPE support brings expressive control to performance, making it possible to create vocal chords, realistic glides, trills and other pitch-based articulations directly from a compatible controller. Two LFOs, an envelope follower and a pattern sequencer add modulation and movement, extending BLEASS Voices beyond conventional harmonizing into more synth-like vocal processing. All voices can use intelligent pitch correction based on a selected key and scale. Each voice also has an independent output bus, allowing individual voices to be mixed and processed separately. BLEASS Voices works with fundamental frequencies from 66 Hz to 5.2 kHz, making it suitable not only for vocals but also for a wide range of instruments. A Real-Time mode provides the low latency required for live performance and recording. BLEASS Voices can be used as an AUv3 plugin on iPhone and iPad. BLEASS Voices is also available for Windows, macOS and Linux. More information, technical specifications and tutorials available on https://www.bleass.com/voices/
