Borrasca Plugins have released Serpent, available as a Name Your Price download, even FREE.
SERPENT is a versatile, all-in-one sidechain ducker developed by Borrasca and Nasko as a patch for plugdata, offering advanced tools including sample-accurate volume ducking, sub ducking, and bipolar ring modulation sidechaining.
The plugin features a custom transient detection algorithm for audio triggering, MIDI triggering capabilities, and a linear phase low-shelf ducker that utilizes a specialized FIR kernel to isolate low-end frequencies without conventional phase shifts.
Serpent represents over a year of collaborative development, integrating Nasko’s DSP and UI expertise to provide sophisticated envelope shaping and real-time visual feedback.
Features include:
- 3 ducking methods: volume, sub, ring mod.
- Real-time visual updates even without playback.
- Audio triggering via a custom transient detection algorithm.
- MIDI triggering option, disabling and overriding transient detection.
- Adjustable lookahead pre-fade curve up to 10ms including latency compensation.
- Bipolar ring mod sidechaining including waveshaping and symmetrical smoothing.
- Easy to use MSEGs for volume & low shelf ducking, custom-made by Nasko
- gate mode for parallel sidechain ducking, preventing serial latency build-up.
Serpent requires PLUGDATA, available to PC and Mac users ( VST3, AU, CLAP and LV2).
