FALSE MEMORY vs AlchemDie

FALSE MEMORY is a real-time audio disintegration effect. Feed it any sound and watch it decay. A tape left in the sun. A corrupted file half-recovered from a dead drive. A memory dissolving as you try to hold onto it. Turn up MEMORY and the destruction begins. Everything else shapes how the sound falls apart. DESTRUCTION ENGINE The Analog / Digital slider is the soul of the effect. Slide left for warm, organic decay: Cassette wobble, Reel-to-reel saturation, VHS tracking errors. Slide right for cold, precise corruption: Lo-fi aliasing, Circuit-bent glitches, Data-mosh block artifacts. Drift destabilizes pitch and timing. At low settings it breathes. Cranked up, the signal loses its grip on reality. Damage controls how aggressively the signal gets torn apart. ATMOSPHERE Fog smears the frequency spectrum into clouds. Three modes: Tonal keeps harmonic structure intact, Inharmonic scatters it, Evolving slowly morphs between the two. Ghosts lets past audio bleed through the current signal. Echoes repeat rhythmically. Imprints leave residual traces. Granular scatters fragments across time. TEXTURE Hiss adds tape noise, from subtle warmth to a roaring floor. Crackle introduces vinyl pops and surface damage. SET IT AND FORGET IT Evolve lets the destruction deepen automatically over time. Pick a duration from 1 to 64 minutes. Walk away. Come back to something completely different. The Randomize button rerolls all destruction parameters instantly. Hit it until something clicks. AUv3 plugin for iOS. Runs in AUM, GarageBand, Logic, and any AUv3 host. Standalone app for iPhone and iPad. From All The Machines.

AlchemDie is an alchemical synthesizer — spill the tonic into time, let it decay through the filter. Inspired by the patch-and-pray spirit of experimental sound boxes, AlchemDie turns a single tonic oscillator into evolving drones, brittle lo-fi echoes and unpredictable textures. It is built to be played by touch and by chance: nudge a knob, trigger a gesture, and let the patch surprise you. — SOUND ENGINE — • TONIC oscillator with coarse, fine, interference and modulation depth • TIME delay with lo-fi BBD/PT2399 character and companding • DECAY, ABSORB and BLEND to sculpt the feedback path • FILTER with vactrol-style slew for organic, rubbery sweeps • ACTIVATION and AGITATION (LFO) for self-playing, generative movement • Stereo widening and output level — GESTURE PADS — Six one-touch gestures to instantly reshape the sound: CRUMBLE · SURGE · FREEZE · VOID · FLUTTER · BURN Tap to throw the patch into a new state — perfect for live performance and happy accidents. — MADE FOR iOS — • Standalone app and AUv3 plug-in • Runs inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo and any AUv3 host • Pinch-to-zoom interface, optimised for iPad and iPhone in landscape • 25 factory presets to get started, plus your own savable patches • MIDI input: play the tonic pitch from your host or controller Whether you are scoring, sound-designing, or just chasing strange and beautiful noise, AlchemDie rewards curiosity. Less a synth to program, more an instrument to explore.
