Bite is a precursor to Cojones. Here’s how it works. It works out what the average sample would be, between two points (if you smoothed off the sound completely and there were no transients in there). Then, it checks what actually IS there (not with the sophistication of Cojones, it’s just pretending the ‘smooth’ value would […]
SampleDelay is the only sample delay with negative delay, allowing you to nudge things slightly ahead of the beat, as well as behind! It’s free from Airwindows, and also includes sub-sample interpolation so you can nudge things even more subtly. Yes, it’s really negative delay, but it’s done by a trick: unlike many Airwindows plugins, this one […]
Lowpass is another strange early Airwindows creation! The top slider is just a frequency control for a one-pole interleaved lowpass, the range covering the full range of sound from silence to Nyquist. The bottom slider’s the one that gets weird. It adjusts between soft and hard, with the middle position being ‘normal lowpass’. Soft means, louder […]
Gate is a simple little utility plugin from early Airwindows. It’s the first Airwindows gate to use a technique from Density, where the gate transitions to silence through a ‘negative saturation’ stage. This causes sounds hit by the gate to sound like they’re pulling back spatially as well as going silent, something that is still unique […]
