Quantum Delay
Picture this: A classic stereo delay with feedback, a vintage treasure for the ages, now fused with the most transcendent, mind-bending modulation system you’ve ever encountered!
Delay: Dive into the heart of time manipulation using either the retro Tape mode or the modern super-clean Fade mode. Seamlessly toggle between BPM synchronization, even 5-tuplets, or use any time in ms. Use the Fine control for pushing / dragging micro-timings or modulate your delay lines like never before.
Filter: Nested within the feedback path, switchable lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters empower you to beautifully sculpt your echos. Easily add modulation for unique dynamic movement and depth.
Feedback: Define the intensity in conventional percent or our modern dB/s approach. Use crossfeed for classic ping pong delay style effects. Increase the intensity by using the over-feedback mode to build up your echos beyond infinity.
Each section can be toggled between stereo and dual mono for even more interesting stereo effects and control. Use our parameter randomisation feature to explore the plugin’s sound at random. And if that’s not enough use our next-level modulation system to modulate pretty much everything using LFOs & Random Generators (also in 2D!), Envelope Followers, Macros and even dynamic chaotic systems.
Inject a burst of unpredictability with our dynamic parameter randomisation feature. Evolve your sound in three stages – gentle change, medium change, and fully random. Choose which parameters to transform, and save these unpredictable sonic journeys in presets for endless inspiration. So whether you are searching for slight variations of a few parameters or you want to explore the full parameter space at random – we got you covered.
Our revolutionary modulation system, seamlessly integrated for your convenience. It offers simplicity in operation, allowing you to effortlessly modulate any parameter with precision. With the flexibility to customize modulation depth individually for each parameter you have complete control over your desired effects. Each modulator offers a skewable amount, sample and hold, and unipolar/bipolar functionality.
Unleash your creativity with an array of built-in generators, including LFOs, Random Generators, and even a custom LFO that empowers you to draw your own unique shapes. Additionally, our comprehensive collection of followers, such as Amp Follower, Pitch Follower, and advanced Spectral Followers like Spectral Brightness, enable dynamic and responsive modulation like never before. Finally, we added 2D modulators like 2D LFO, 2D Random, and 2D Strange Attractors so you can even use chaotic dynamic systems as a modulation source.
MMMm
Want to add a little “Mmmph” to your music production? MMMm is the little brother of MMM, the magic midi modulator that’s so good, you’ll be saying mmMMMmm all day long!
Listen up, fellow music magicians – if you want to be the ruler of your MIDI universe, look no further than MMMm. This is the little brother of MMM. MMMm is for midi only channels. This powerful tool can control anything that accepts MIDI CC – soft synths, plugins and hardware that you wished had modulation, and even that vintage lava lamp you’ve been using as a makeshift MIDI controller. And with its numerous knobs, sliders, and xy pads, you’ll feel like a futuristic space DJ in no time.
But that’s not all! With MMM’s innovative modulation system, you can add modulation to your synths or effects and create sounds that will make Mozart roll over in his grave. Customize your LFOs, shape your waveforms, and even modulate based on the amplitude or pitch of a source signal. With MMM, the modulation possibilities are endless!
So what are you waiting for? Get your hands on MMM and start creating music that will make all the other producers green with envy. And who knows? Maybe your lava lamp will finally have a purpose beyond just being a funky decoration.
What’s the difference between MMM and MMMm
If possible, use MMM, because it contains all the modulators one can need. However some setups require MIDI FX. That’s where MMMm comes into play: due to the lack of an audio input it doesn’t contain any envelope followers, but it is a MIDI FX fully compatible with DAWs like Logic Pro or AUM.

MagicFusion
MagicFusion is a multi-curve spectral vocoder workstation with a built-in modulation system.
MagicFusion is a multi-curve spectral vocoder workstation with a built-in modulation system. This is not your average vocoder. Oh no, it defies convention and transcends the analogue limitations of its counterparts. No mere band pass filters and signal followers here! This wizardry operates in the frequency domain, harnessing the very essence of sound itself.
Easily and quickly apply the amount of the effect per frequency, or ranges of frequencies. Mix them, modulate them, spread them, run wild, and create original spectral transformations from organic pumping filter sounds to extreme effects on the brink of insanity.
This Vocoder is truly one of a kind, never before has such a creation been witnessed before!
Imagine, if you will, a portal through which two signals intertwine, creating a harmonious fusion that transcends the ordinary. It possesses the power to extract the spectral essence of one sound, the modulator, and apply it to another, the carrier, creating a spellbinding synthesis of both. That’s why you must use two audio inputs: the input (aka carrier), and the sidechain (aka modulator).
But wait, there’s more! Prepare to be astonished by the extraordinary capabilities of our CurveEditor. With a wave of your hand, you can manipulate the very fabric of frequencies, controlling the amount of fusion across the sonic spectrum. Easily create stereo effects using the CurveModifier. Whether you desire gentle blends or radical transmutations, your sonic palette is at your command!
Fine-tune the responsiveness of the vocoder using the Smooth control. Whether you desire lightning-fast reactions or gradual transitions, this feature allows you to customize the dynamics according to your creative vision.
Additionally, MagicFusion offers the Formant parameter, enabling you to shift the formants of the sidechain input up or down, summoning vocal transformations that transcend the boundaries of the mundane.
Unleash the full potential of your sound with the Detail control. Tailor the filter response by adjusting the level of intricacy, ensuring every nuance and subtlety is captured and expressed, or dial it down to get some nice organic pumping.
MagicFusion is not just a spectral vocoder; it’s a gateway to sonic innovation. Elevate your music production, sound design, and audio experimentation to extraordinary heights with this groundbreaking tool. Try MagicFusion today and witness the future of spectral vocoding unfold before your ears. Your sound has never been more magical.
MagicBlurr
MagicBlur is a multi-curve spectral blur and freeze effect workstation with a built-in modulation system.
Turn your samples into a synthesiser to create lush atmospheric sounds, endless worlds of overtone glissandi, wild reversed and glitch-like sounds – it’s all there! Easily and quickly apply separate blur times per frequency, or ranges of frequencies. Mix them, modulate them, spread them, run wild, and create original spectral transformations from subtle reverberish washed out sounds to extreme effects from deep space!
Spectral Blur describes the process of taking spectral snapshots and morphing between them.
Optionally you can deactivate the morphing part and turn the whole thing into a spectral freezer. And if that’s not cool enough (no pun intended) you can even reverse the morph direction, apply envelopes and shift the pitch to create unique sounding effects never heard before.
MagicPitch
MagicPitch is a multi-curve spectral pitch and frequency shifter workstation with a built-in modulation system.
De-tune harmonics, fatten up your drums, create otherworldly vocals – it’s all there! Easily and quickly apply separate pitch and frequency shifting per frequency, or multiple frequency ranges. Mix them, modulate them, spread them, run wild, and create truly original frequency transformations from subtle de-tunings to extreme effects from outer space.
MagicDelay
MagicDelay, the multi-curve spectral delay workstation with a built-in modulation system.
MagicDelay is a professional, studio grade, spectral delay effect. Spectral because it allows the effect amount to be controlled per-frequency as if you had thousands of delays combined into one. Something not possible in the analogue world. Controlling thousands of delay times sounds complicated, but we made this process really simple. At the heart of MagicDelay is the Curve Editor where you can draw up to 4 separate curves and fluently morph between them using the adjacent XY pad. The final morphed curve can be inverted, shifted, and skewed for further creative control. The delay features two feedback types, control of the amount of feedback, and high and low pass filters.
Sync your delay times to your DAW when used in AUv3 supporting apps such as GarageBand is quick and easy. In just a few seconds you can have, for example, a regular eighth delay for the low-mids and a dotted eighth delay for the highs, or any other combination you can think of!
A great delay needs a great modulation system. In the modulation panel tap on an empty modulation slot and get going. Tap the mapping button to enter mapping mode and choose which controls above should be modulated.
