The Interruptor Bionic Delay 2Bionic Delay 2 is a VST3 plug-in specialized in vintage and modern delay effects. It combines a straightforward user interface for the main delay parameters with a character dial that allows you to easily select the sounds of analog or digital delay units in any condition between brand new and extreme Lo-Fi. Features: Easy delay time selection by note values: half notes, eight notes, 16th, 32th notes plus tripplet and dotted notes via the FINE controls. These are synchronized to your host/DAW tempo. Delay time selection in milliseconds for delay times up to 3 seconds. Separate delay times for the left and right channels are possible. PING PONG delays. SWING creates a swing time feel by applying a longer (or shorter) delay time to every second delay iteration. CHARACTER dial allows you to morph the delay sound between classic bionic delay, clean digital and Lo-Fi analog or crushed digital tones. You can even turn the delay time down to zero and use the CHARACTER function alone for standalone effects like tape degradation and digital crushing. Modulate the delay time for pitch and phase variations, simulating tape transport inaccuracies like wow and flutter. Use extremely small delay times to create Chorus or Flange effects. Full control of the stereo image via WIDTH and BALANCE controls. FREEZE button captures the delay in a static endless loop. SMOOTH control for gradual delay time changes. HI CUT and LO CUT controls progressively narrow the frequency bandwidth of consecutive delays. DRIFT control allows to send more feedback to the left or to the right channel. This results in delays that continuously wander to the left or to the right. Read More

BABY Audio TeknoSupercharge your drum sound - Craft deep and massive synthesized drums – from the ground up, with total flexibility. - Use onboard humanize features to create alive beats where each hit is different. - A modern reimagination of the legendary drum machines that shaped music culture Produce drums without samples Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control. Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre. Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing. Next-generation drum synthesis To build Tekno we teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more. Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of authentic circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin. Deep tweaking or fast inspiration Click the 'Gear' icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options. Or hit the onboard 'Dice' icons to let Tekno's smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click. You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo. Each hit is unique Tekno is a synthesizer, it generates every drum hit from scratch through a complex non-linear VA circuit. That means it never hits exactly the same way twice – a quality it shares with the classic analog drum machines (and a big part of their magic). Compare this to samples, which are just static snapshots and you'll find that Tekno's subtleties make tracks come more alive. Tekno allows you to exaggerate this behavior further: Use the on-board humanize parameters to introduce extra variation in timbre, velocity and timing every time a sound is triggered. Loaded with analog-modeled effects Tekno's onboard effects have been crafted with the same care and meticulous analog-modeling efforts as the drum voices. There are no 'copy-paste FX' in Tekno, but a unique suite of coloration tools created especially for this instrument. Beef-up individual drums with analog-modeled tape saturation, excitation and compression. And make the whole kit shine with a punchy limiter/clipper combo that will cut through any mix.
