Today marks the release of our second synth, a multi-tap delay, a reverb and a free spatial modulator for both Mac and Windows as AU/VST3.

Partials & Discrepancies is an 8 voice additive poly-synth. The goal was to make additive synthesis accessible through a much simpler abstraction model than what you usually get, and include lots of sonic motion capabilities within a simple interface without modulation matrixes or multi page layouts. As always, we want to build instruments and effects that makes it fun to make music and that won’t slow down the creativity. Partials & Discrepancies is available for 79 euros incl. VAT. Discounts and cross-grade offers may be available on the account page for earlier costumers.




Geometry Delay is kind of the same spirit taken to multi-tap delays, instead of full control over each tap, the plugin uses a room model with an orbital modulator to let the distance to walls, floor and ceiling set the delay time. As the node moves around the room, all delay times are affected and the pitch reacts to the doppler effect. It is 29 euros incl. VAT.


Geometry Reverb is utilizing almost the exact same interface and abstraction model as Geometry Delay, but the DSP model is a Hall type reverb. It is mainly built for modulation and to sweeten up the sound of Partials & Discrepancies, but works well on most type of sources. It is available for free with other purchases and for all earlier costumers.


Binaural Modulator is the free plugin of this batch. It is a very usable spatial modulator built around a small 3d model with a listening node in the middle. By moving around one or two playing nodes the sound moves around the stereo spectrum. We added orbital modulation as well as doppler and psychoacoustic filtering to the model. It can be used for auto-pan, spatial movement, chorus, tremolo and Leslie type effects, or just go bonkers by using M/S encoded playing nodes. It is a free download, just like Cavitation Fractures, though a much more usable plugin.

We have also introduced cross-grade offers for owners of our paid plugins or bundles.
