Audio Damage have released ShinRonin (previously known as Ronin, a legacy plugin), available as a FREE download. The iOS version is awaiting Apple review.
ShinRonin is a ground-up rebuild of Ronin, one of the earliest plugins Audio Assault ever shipped, first released in 2003. The original paired two delay lines with a set of morphing filters and two fully patchable routing matrices, and it earned a cult following for the strange feedback networks and self-oscillating textures you could build inside it. Twenty years on, Audio Damage have rebuilt it for modern systems, kept the architecture that made it worth remembering, and released it for free.
Two independent delay lines, each with tempo sync, reverse, looping, and feedback, feed a pair of morphing multimode filters that sweep continuously from notch through lowpass, bandpass, and highpass. There is saturation, two LFOs, and an envelope follower.
Everything connects through two on-board matrices: a signal matrix that routes any audio source to any destination, and a modulation matrix that wires the LFOs, envelope, and incoming MIDI to nearly any parameter. It is happy doing clean stereo delays and gentle filtering, but the real fun starts when you patch a feedback loop and let it misbehave.
ShinRonin is available to PC, Mac and Linux users (VST3, AU, CLAP and LV2).
