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 […]
GlitchShifter is an experiment that went horribly right. The idea behind this one was to produce a pitch shifter which would scan for crossover points, so that it could just splice bits of audio without crossfading or anything of the sort. Unfortunately or fortunately, the attempt created a monster. Glitch Shifter can be ‘controlled’ by the […]
Compressor is a weird little beast! If you’re looking for a great sounding, well-behaved, sane compressor, go buy the most recent Logical. This is not that. What it IS, is Airwindows strangeness in an exceedingly pure form. You get compression, attack speed, release speed, color, makeup gain, and dry/wet. Compression includes some makeup gain adjusting. Don’t […]
