Atomizer: Atomizer is a great plugin for adding beat synced glitch and stuttering, pitch shifting and various forms of filtering effects to your songs. The plugin splices incoming audio into samples divisible by the current tempo and allows you to play them as a continuous seamless loop blended over the original audio. You do this using the grid of vertical finger pads, each representing samples of increasing lengths. Simply tap and hold one of these pads to repeat the currently playing section of incoming audio. Slide your finger up and down to fade in and out the repeated sample. Slide left and right to increase or decrease the sample length of the currently playing sample. A customisable digital delay section allows held samples to trail out on release, automatically syncing it's delay times with the loop size (when set to Auto). The second finger pad (XY pad) defaults to a LP/HP filter sweep, but can be configured to manipulate effects such as real time pitch shifting, panning, flanging, overdrive, bit-crunch and modulation effects. The XY pad also supports multi-touch, allowing the play cursor to glide between your fingers at a specified speed. Press the HOLD button and you can then release your fingers and have them playback a set pattern. Use the FOLLOW feature to follow finger movements etc. The envelope knob morphs between fade in and fade out envelopes and can be assigned to the XY Pad to add additional dynamics to the repeats. A configurable modulation section also allows you to automate panning or vibrato and assign various envelope shapes. Shimmer Reverb: This is an AUv3 compatible effect which must be used as plugin with your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Meteor, Auria or GarageBand. It supports a modern graphical interface and presets with stereo meters for monitoring signal levels. This shimmer effect is a combination of effects that creates an etherial wall of sound. The effect combines a digital delay and pitch shifter to create multiple harmonies before entering a rich long reverb with controllable filtering. The resulting effect is a monsterously huge sound adding a spacious atmospheric quality to any lead instrument or vocal. The effect also features many beat synced modulation options with various modes of operation such as your basic pans and vibrato effects but including sweeps and morphing harmonies. Finally to give the effect some real 'shimmer' we've added a harmonic exciter and a sustain section which samples and holds on to the sound to pull out and emphesise the harmonics. Chameleon: Chameleon is an AUv3 compatible sampler instrument plugin for your favourite DAW. The program can run as a standalone app in order to record audio samples from the internal microphone or professional audio interface. It also supports incoming Inter-App Audio connections for sampling directly from other iOS applications, however it is primarily intended to be used as an AUv3 Instrument plugin for applications such as Cubasis, AUM, Auria, Meteor, Gargeband etc. The plugin can additionally be loaded as an AUv3 effect in order to record audio passing through it from other AUv3 Instrument sources, which makes it a very versatile and useful tool. So what is a sampler? A sampler is a device that allows you to imitate other instruments with just a few short audio snippits. Although it comes with a library of presets it also allows you to create your own. You do this by recording multiple audio clips and mapping them to the notes on a MIDI keyboard and Chameleon does the rest using a sophisticated pitch shifting algorithm to fill in the blanks. Recorded samples can either be layered or mapped freely over a 7 octave range and saved as individual presets. Presets are then organised into custom categorised banks which can be exported and shared with others.
