***This is now a legacy product. It will receive only maintenance updates. If you purchased Fuzz Droid using version 1.5 or earlier, you are eligible for a free upgrade to Fuzz Droid v2. You can claim your upgrade code inside the plug-in's settings menu.*** ***Please note purchases made as of version 1.6 are NOT eligible for a free upgrade to a v2 license.*** Fuzz Droid is a distortion effect based on the CP3 modular mixer. Its sharp, asymmetric discontinuity makes for a unique & aggressive sound! If you find the main circuit a little too rude, we also included a smoother curve from the same module. Finally, we took the opportunity to add some digital extras: a custom smoothing function, adjustable bias, and flexible tone-shaping filters to fine tune your sound. The result is the rudest effect we've created so far! Details: - Two asymmetric distortion circuits from OG CP3 module - CP3+: A sharp discontinuity generates massive harmonics - CP3-: A smoother curve for a less aggressive sound - Digital extras - Custom smoothing function for taming harsh artifacts - Bias control adjusts how you hit the asymmetries - Flexible high- and low-pass tone-shaping filters - Morph Settings lets you transition the plug-in between two settings. Useful for performance, modulation, automation, and more! Features: - Two-week free trial included, one-time purchase for full unlock - AUv3 effect plug-in runs in a compatible DAW - Standalone links to user manual and video tutorials - Universal purchase on Apple platforms - User presets synced across your devices - Clickless global bypass - Internal undo/redo - A/B settings comparison - High quality mode enables oversampling (plus advanced anti-aliasing techniques) - Output trim with perceived loudness matching - Global dry/wet - All parameters automatable - Optional auto gain - Mac version includes CLAP and VST3 plug-in formats Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sketchaudio Read the manuals: https://sketchaudio.com/manuals/ Preview audio credit: Freesound user wjoojoo

NoiseSpace is an experimental sound generator based on simplex noise, which is then used in a granular synthesis algorithm. This design allows for the creation of a vast array of diverse waveforms rich in harmonics with a rich low-frequency spectrum. The generator is controlled by just a few simple parameters. Despite its somewhat chaotic and atonal nature, it is great for creating rich noise, gritty textures, complex patterns and deep, dark, mesmerizing and tense backgrounds. It is especially suitable for creating ambient compositions, as well as sci-fi, industrial, post-apocalyptic and horror atmospheres. This app also serves as a powerful tool for noise art and sound design, offering users the ability to craft intricate and captivating sonic structures. With its focus on deep, hypnotic, and tension-filled soundscapes, NoiseSpace is an essential tool for musicians, sound designers, and artists exploring experimental and textural audio creation. Starting with NoiseSpace is remarkably easy. The application features a dedicated "Create" button that generates unique and interesting presets ready for immediate use, requiring only minimal adjustment to suit the user's needs or ideas. Additionally, it includes options for generating sequences and patterns, and for simple tone and modulation creation for each generator, making the application user-friendly and ready for immediate exploration right from the start. Key Features: Five Sound Generators: Utilizes simplex noise and granular synthesis to create diverse sound textures. Versatile Sound Options: Offers a vast range of sound variations with just a few parameters. Advanced Filters: Includes both classic and complex filters for each generator. Low-Frequency Modulators: Each generator is equipped with three LFOs that can control most parameters. Dual Output System: Each generator has a main output and a special output for background sound. Layered Sound Design: Generator outputs are combined to create two layers - main sound and background. Pattern and Texture Creation: Features an internal sequencer / binary counter for managing generators. NoiseSpace is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). NoiseSpace works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link.
