Ispín adds weight, warmth and grit to thin-sounding tracks. Push it gently for compression and glue, or drive it hard for full distortion. Four controls, no menus, nothing to set up. RICHNESS: Density and drive. Goes from subtle thickening to heavy saturation. COLOUR: Tilts the harmonics dark to bright, so the dirt sits where you want it. ROUGHNESS: Drives the waveform off-centre for buzz, grind and edge. OUTPUT: -18 to +6 dB of trim, for a level-matched A/B against your dry track. At zero, Ispín passes audio at unity gain — so bypass tells you what you added, not just what got louder. Six presets included: Grand So, A Bit of Dinner, The Crispy End, Hot Tea, Full Breakfast Consequences, and I Left the Immersion On. Save your own alongside them. The interface resizes to fit the space your host gives it, in portrait or landscape. Note: This is an Audio Unit Effect Plugin (AUv3), which requires a host such as AUM or Loopy Pro – or a DAW such as GarageBand, Logic Pro or Cubasis.

Read full description

PNEUMATIC is a valve pressure synth from NOIDED Industries. Push the lever and pressure builds in the tank. The pipe starts to whistle, the leak screams higher and the gauge climbs. Let go and it slams back, bleeding off into silence. Push it all the way across and it latches for a sustained drone. PRESSURE sets how hard the tank fills. PIPE tunes the resonant noise. LEAK adds a buzzing whistle that rises with the pressure. BLEED decides how fast it all drains away. No extra hardware needed. Everything is played on screen. If you want, any standard MIDI keyboard or MIDI app can also play it, with every note transposing the whole machine. Play it from a MIDI keyboard and every note transposes the whole machine. Velocity and aftertouch push the lever for you. Standalone app and AUv3 instrument Full MIDI CC control of every parameter Optional MIDI keyboard support (velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel)Keyboard, velocity, aftertouch and mod wheel control Save and load your own presets Works in AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis and other AUv3 hosts Made in Rochdale, UI elements photographed from local industrial areas. STAY NOIDED.
