• Enhances Mix Loudness and Adds Harmonic Warmth • Full-Band and Two-Band Clipper in a Single Plugin • Quick, lightweight, and designed for effortless flexibility! • Precise Visual Metering for Fast Peak Control • Knee Curve Adjustment, from Super Soft to Hard • Shape Control of the Harmonic Profile • Dry/Wet Mix for a Natural, Balanced Sound • Low Latency with Optional Oversampling • Advanced Responsive Design, portrait and landscape views • Universal Purchase: AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS and Vision Pro FAC Clipper is designed to enhance your mix's loudness and add signature harmonic warmth. While it is based on a similar DSP architecture to the Clip processor in FAC Punchlab, it takes a different approach to clipping control, featuring an advanced user interface with precise metering to track and manage the peaks of the audio signal. The plugin also includes both a full-band clipper that processes the entire spectrum and a multi-band clipper, allowing you to independently clip low, high, or both frequency bands. This provides the flexibility to maintain transparent processing or experiment with creative adjustments, depending on your needs. Built with simplicity and flexibility in mind, FAC Clipper is quick, lightweight, and highly intuitive. The clean, streamlined interface lets you focus on what matters most; controlling the peak levels to maximize loudness while preserving clarity and avoiding the pumping effects often associated with heavily limited signals. Thanks to its precise waveform and level meters, using FAC Clipper is a breeze. Simply add the plugin to your track and adjust the input gain until the waveform meter reaches 0 dB. This gives you a clear view of the signal's dynamic range, making it easier to identify peaks. Next, set the ceiling just below the peaks you wish to control. You can also adjust the Knee parameter for smoother clipping and fine-tune the saturation to achieve the perfect warmth and character. Use the Mix parameter to blend the clipped signal with the original audio, allowing you to control the amount of clipping applied. This helps preserve the natural character of the sound while enhancing loudness and harmonic warmth. This is an AUv3 Effect and requires a compatible host to work The documentation is available at fredantoncorvest.com/FAC_Clipper.html

About

Wobulator

This audio effect plugin provides a stereo chorus with a unique "wobble" feature for a less predictable modulation. It can be used standalone or within compatible music production applications.

Highlights
  • Stereo chorus/modulation effect
  • Adjustable delay time (10-100ms)
  • Variable modulation rate (0.01-2.00Hz)
  • "Wobble" parameter for unpredictable modulation
  • Adjustable dry/wet mix
  • AUv3 compatible plugin

Wobulator Modulator Plugin (AUv3) Wobulator is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview Wobulator is a stereo chorus / modulation effect with a wobbly twist! The chorus effect is typically achieved by modulating the time of a delayed version of the dry signal, and mixing the two. Typically, these delay times are very short, around 20ms. Wobulator includes a "Wobble" parameter that adds variation to both the rate and depth, which makes the modulation cycle less obvious to the listener. Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Delay - Varies the base delay time between 10-100ms. Higher delay times can be used to create ADT (automatic double tracking) type effects. Rate - Sets the base modulation LFO frequency between 0.01 and 2.00Hz. Depth - Sets the amount of base delay modulation. For example, a 50ms Delay, with 50% Depth, will be modulated between 25 and 50ms. Wobble - Sets the amount of variation introduced by an internal wobulation matrix! At extreme settings the unpredictable nature of the resulting modulation can sound almost tape-like. When Wobble is set to zero, Wobulator behaves like a standard chorus effect. Mix - Sets the balance between the dry / input signal and the wet / processed sound. At 50%, the mix is an equal amount of dry and wet. At 100%, you hear the wet / processed sound only, which is good for wobbly tape effects! If the name sounds familiar, Wobulator is an updated version of the WOBULATER module developed for Voltage Modular by Waverley Instruments.
