Highlights
  • Two asymmetric distortion circuits
  • Custom smoothing function
  • Flexible tone-shaping filters
  • Morph settings for transitions
  • Auto bypass for CPU saving
  • HQ mode with 4x oversampling
  • Light and dark interface modes

Fuzz Droid is a distortion effect based on the gain stage in the CP3 modular mixer. A sharp, asymmetric discontinuity generates massive harmonics and makes for a hyper-aggressive sound. It's the rudest effect we've ever made. Crunch It! - Two asymmetric distortion circuits from the OG CP3 module - CP3+: a sharp discontinuity for big harmonics, absolutely brutal on synth drums - CP3-: smooth and heavy, for when the positive curve is too rude - Drive up to +48 dB Digital Extras - Custom smoothing function tames harsh artifacts - Bias control shifts how you hit the asymmetry - Flexible high-pass and low-pass tone-shaping filters - Pre or post filter placement Core Features - Morph Settings for smooth transitions between two complete configurations - Auto Bypass saves CPU when input is silent - AB settings comparison - HQ mode with 4x oversampling and ADAA - One-click loudness matching - All parameters automatable with precise playback - Light and dark interface modes - Internal undo/redo - Auto gain - Standalone app includes support, manual links and in-app purchase options for license purchase Two-week trial included, one-time purchase for full unlock.

Splitonic is an AUv3 audio unit for iOS and macOS. It is a filter based on the Fourier spectrum of the input signal and can be used to split the sound in a harmonic and a percussive component. Ideal for remixing when no separate stems are available. Features: - AUv3 Plugin for iOS & macOS. - Spectrogram decomposition: Splits an audio signal into controllable pitched and transient energy layers. - Real time processing: Low-latency controllable by the user. - Kernel dimensions: Adjustable horizontal (time) and vertical (frequency) median filter sizes. - Separation threshold: Configurable threshold to trade off separation isolation against musical artifacts. - Three-Way Separation: Isolates an additional "residual" or noise component to capture background hiss, vocals, or applause. - Preset system: with factory and user presets, plus import/export. - Demo mode available: purchase to unlock full version. - Optimized layout: for portrait and landscape orientations.
